    If I check policies with no value there are many pages...

    I don't believe I'm infected...

    Reposting:

    ... if you see an entry on the page edge://policy that you don't recognize, please post back here with details.

    A screenshot of the page will do.

    hello. my browser is being managed by an organization. in the edge policy it says Extensioninstallforcelist. i have tried everything i could and nothing worked. i cant change it and i dont know anything about electronics and i dont want to mess up my computer. please help! thank you

    See if this clears things for you.

    • Type powershell into search and launch Windows Powershell as administrator.
    • Copy and paste in all the bold text below (both lines at once) into Powershell then press enter :

    reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionInstallForcelist /f;reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionInstallForcelist /f;

    • In Edge, enter edge://policy/ into the URL bar and press enter.
    • Click on 'Reload Policies'

    If ExtensionInstallForcelist is still present then you likely have malware.

    In that case, please upload and share logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST).

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

    • If your computer language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe
    • Run FRST and press "Scan"
    • Two logs are created in the folder that FRST is run from, FRST.txt and Addition.txt
    • Upload the logs to OneDrive, Google Drive or any file sharing service
    • Post the share link

    Note: If you are downloading FRST with Edge, smartscreen will initially block it.

    Click on the 3 dots next to the warning and select Keep-> Show more-> Keep anyway.

    Type powershell into search, then right click on Windows Powershell and "Run as administrator"

    Copy/paste in the following command -> press enter:

    reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge /f;reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge /f;
    

    Ignore any error thrown as both keys likely don't exist.

    Click "Reload Policies" on the edge://policy page.
