New Edge: "Your browser is managed by your organization"

Anonymous

I just (06-08-2020) installed the latest Windows release and updated to the new Edge as well. When I went to change settings in the Edge browser, I noticed that my browser is all of a sudden managed by "your organization". Well, my organization is me!

Can anyone explain why I see the message "Your browser is managed by your organization" when trying to adjust settings? I did not give any permission for anyone to "manage my organization." I had this problem with Google Chrome and wound up deleting the browser altogether.

Thanks in advance

I was able to remove this by opening my Webroot SecureAnywhere Advanced Settings. Like others have said, this is something that blocks websites Webroot has identified as malicious but the steps below should remove the things in Edge you're seeing.

  1. Open the Webroot security program.
  2. Click the Advanced Settings Cog at the top right.
  3. Click Firewall / Web Shield at the left hand side.
  4. Uncheck "Activate Browser Extensions"
  5. Save
  6. Close and reopen Edge and the Extension is gone and so are those policies/management messages.

Here's a screenshot of the setting unchecked. I hope this helps!

    Yeah there's a checkbox that gives a load more, but I thought them unimportant as they weren't showing anything. I can send them all over to you too. I don't recognise any of them, and basically don't understand them, sorry for my lack of knowledge. :(

    My computer is saying the same thing. I bought it on Amazon and expected it to be brand new.  Instead, it's "renewed."  But I didn't do anything to the laptop at all. I downloaded webroot.  I went and signed into my microsoft account as the user.  It said it would link my two computers (which it didn't do 100%), and then it keeps saying it's managed by your organization. Even if it were linking the two computers together, my default search engine is google on all devices.  This laptop is stuck on bing.  What do I do?  Is the person who sold this to me spying? Or is it because I linked it? Or something else? It's personal all the way.

    McAfee gives you viruses.  I always delete it from any device first thing.  Webroot is 100% better.
