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

    Copy and 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 as it's unlikely both keys exist.

    Paste edge://policy/ into the Edge Address bar -> press enter -> Click "Reload Policies"

    
    If the extension comes back, then the computer is still infected.

    I need help mine says the same thing i ran the command reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies and i said yes but it said access denied. And Microsoft edge will open n close by itself.

    Hi Kameron, download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST):

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

    and download the following Fixlist .txt and put it in the same folder FRST is in.

    https://1drv.ms/t/s!AqQnVFhmcB_wmVFKPj5U7rtTNNIG?e=PbMT9p

    • Run FRST and press "Fix"
    • The PC will reboot to complete the fix.

    Hello Fuz

    Im Juliet and Im happy to help you :)

    If your Microsoft Edge browser is being managed by an organization and you do not have access to manage it yourself, it is likely that your computer is connected to a work or school network that has policies in place to manage the browser. In this case, you may need to contact your network administrator for assistance.

    However, if you are using Microsoft Edge on a personal computer and it is being managed by an unknown organization, it may be a result of malware or a virus on your computer. In this case, you should run a full system scan with an up-to-date antivirus program and consider seeking the help of a professional if the issue persists.

    If you are simply experiencing issues with Microsoft Edge and want to reset the browser settings to their default values, you can follow these steps:

    1.Open Microsoft Edge and click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
    2.Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
    3.Scroll down and click "Reset settings" under the "Reset and cleanup" section.
    4.Click "Restore settings to their default values" and then click "Reset."
    5. Restart Microsoft Edge and check if the issue has been resolved.

    I hope this helps! Let me know what happens :)

    What you entered is not a valid command so of course it didn't work.

    Run Powershell as administrator then copy and paste in the command below and press enter;

    reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge /f;reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge /f; 
    
    
    If you need further assistance, start a new thread.

    Whenever you see "managed by your organization" in Windows, it means that the setting or feature in question is setup in the Group Policy Editor rather than the Settings app. That's all it means.

    Microsoft uses the wording "managed by your organization" because the Group Policy Editor is typically managed by the IT department in an organization. If you are not part of an organization, then you are your IT department. If that's the case, sign in to the Administrator account and search for: edit group policy

    I'll offer this warning: The settings in the Group Policy Editor (they're actually called 'policies') can have far-reaching effects on your computer, so handle with care!
