Information

Enables network prediction and prevents users from changing this setting.

This controls DNS prefetching, TCP and SSL pre-connection, and pre-rendering of web pages.

If this policy is not configured, network prediction is enabled but the user can change it.

Policy options mapping:
- NetworkPredictionAlways (0) = Predict network actions on any network connection.
- NetworkPredictionWifiOnly (1) = Not supported; if this value is used it will be treated as if 'Predict network actions on any network connection' (0) was set.
- NetworkPredictionNever (2) = Do not predict network actions on any network connection.

Solution

Set the policy value for 'Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Enable network prediction' to 'Enabled' with the option value set to 'Don't predict network actions on any network connection'.
