    Edge (GA) is, now, 💯❗

    Version 100.0.1185.29: April 1

    Stable channel security updates are listed here.

    Feature updates

    • Three-digit version number in the User-agent string. Microsoft Edge will now send a three-digit version number, such as Edg/100 in the User-Agent header. This may confuse scripts or server-side analytics that use a buggy parser to determine the User-Agent string version number. You can use the ForceMajorVersionToMinorPositionInUserAgent policy to control whether the User-Agent string major version should be frozen at 99. Also, the #force-major-version-to-minor flag is available in edge://flags to freeze the major version in the User-Agent string to 99.
    • Streamlining Microsoft 365 Application Protocol Activations. Microsoft 365 Application Protocol Activations on trusted Microsoft cloud storage services will now launch certain Microsoft 365 applications directly, including SharePoint subdomains and Microsoft OneDrive URLs. You can use the policies AutoLaunchProtocolsComponentEnabled and AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins to enable the application protocol activation prompts if desired, and to define other applications and services where warnings are enabled or disabled.
    • Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. Microsoft Edge will continue supporting more fine-grained protection by combating memory corruption vulnerabilities and by protecting indirect calls. Hardware-enforced stack protection is only supported by Windows 8 and later. For more information, see Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. This feature behavior can be controlled using the ShadowStackCrashRollbackBehavior policy.
    • Preview PDF files in Microsoft Outlook and File Explorer. Users can view a PDF file in a lightweight and rich read-only preview. This feature is available for Outlook Desktop PDF attachments or for local PDF files using File Explorer.
    • Open Digitally Signed PDF files. Digital signatures are used extensively to validate the authenticity of a document and changes made in a document. You can use the PDFSecureMode policy to enable digital signature validation for PDF files, directly from the browser, without the need for any add-ins.

    Policy updates

    New policies

    Deprecated policy

    Obsoleted policy

    NB: > Settings > System & Performance and Turn On Startup Boost. It will, now, Turn On with OR without Extensions it says are conflicting... YOUR choice, whether to Turn Off 'conflicting' extensions indicated OR leave them on & run it, anyway.

    Hi Drew

    Tues night, MS updated. When I checked update history, I updated the Edge setting to current one. After pulling my hair for two days, I realized that Edge was not saving my passwords anymore. I've been using the Edge PW manager; it seems to be adequate. I suspect that one of the updates changed the privacy settings back to the default. So, if anybody is using the Edge built in PW manager, check your browser cache settings

    and uncheck passwords. If not, it will delete all of your passwords every time you close the browser.

    Herb😊
