Turn off enabled Edge3PSerpTelemetryEnabled in MS edge

Hi

Checking throug hthe release notes for the latest MS Edge version for Windows, I noticed this little Gem ..

Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn

Edge3PSerpTelemetryEnabled

Edge3P Telemetry in Microsoft Edge captures the searches user does on third party search providers without identifying the person or the device and captures only if the user has consented to this collection of data. User can turn off the collection at any time in the browser settings.

If you enable or don't configure this policy, Edge 3P SERP Telemetry feature will be enabled.

So 2 questions

  1. How can I turn off the above ?
  2. Can all telemetry collected from Edge actually be disabled with a setting from within the Edge Browser ? Or are there additional settings that must be disabled externally through things like Group Policy, Registry, Service Configurations ?

Also its interesting when you create a forum post there is no Topic choice in the drop down menu for "Privacy", as I thought MS took Privacy very seriously.

Thanks.

    Hi. I'm Brian and I will do my best to help you.

    You can turn this off via the registry editor. Open regedit.exe as administrator and visit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft if you want to disable the policy for all users or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft is you want to disable it just for the currently user. Create a new key under there named "Edge" and under that create a new DWORD key named "Edge3PSerpTelemetryEnabled". Set the value of that key to zero. Close the registry edit and restart Edge
