Information
This policy setting manages whether users can use the Math Solver tool in Microsoft Edge. Math Solver tool allows users to take a picture of a math problem - be it handwritten or printed - and then provides an instant solution with step-by-step instructions.
The recommended state for this setting is: Disabled.
Rationale:
Math Solver shares a user's browsing and search history to provide additional learning resources, which could inadvertently expose and share sensitive data with a 3rd party.
Impact:
Users will be unable to solve math problems in Microsoft Edge browsers.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Disabled:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Let users snip a Math problem and get the solution with a step-by-step explanation in Microsoft Edge
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: Download Microsoft Edge for Business - Microsoft.
Default Value:
Enabled. (Users can take a snip of the Math problem and get the solution including a step-by-step explanation of the solution in a Microsoft Edge side pane.)
