Information
This policy setting allows users to be able to access the Share experience from the Settings and More menu in Microsoft Edge, which can allow information to be shared with other apps on the system.
The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled: Don't allow using the Share experience.
Rationale:
Having this setting enabled could allow malicious content from Microsoft Edge to be exposed to other parts of the operating system.
Impact:
Users will not be able to view or use the Share button in the toolbar as it will be hidden.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Enabled: Don't allow using the Share experience
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Configure the Share experience
Note: This Group Policy path may not exist by default. It is provided by the Group Policy template MSEdge.admx/adml that can be downloaded from Microsoft here.
Default Value:
Enabled: Allow using the Share experience
