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.
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionInstallForcelist /f;reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionInstallForcelist /f;
If ExtensionInstallForcelist is still present then you likely have malware.
In that case, please upload and share logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST).

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.
Sorry it took so long to reply but heres the link to the info i found and followed and it worked!! Fix: Your Browser Is Managed By Your Organisation Message In Edge Browser (thegeekpage.com)
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.
