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

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!

    ... i tried this method. It worked for me without a flaw!

    Happy to hear your 'problem' is solved. I'd just point out that the solution you referred to - Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your - will remove all policies from your machine, which will include any that you may want to keep, like the ability to download Windows updates but decide when to install them. Policies affecting the Edge browser are stored in keys called

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Edge

    and possibly (for individual Windows user accounts)

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

    Those are the ones to delete if you're sure that doing so won't break something.
