I try to check the group policy list for the MS Edge Chromium browser but I did not get any policy to hide the settings page/option in the MS Edge browser.
So at present, there is no way to hide/disable the settings page/option.
However, you can try to refer to the other policies and try to set it. It may help you to control hide/disable some settings for the Edge browser.
If you think that there should be a GPO to hide/disable settings then I suggest you press the ALT + SHIFT + I key in the Edge browser and try to provide your feedback to Microsoft.

Nima Jouyandeh 1 Reputation point2021-09-23T16:57:21.517+00:00 You add this url: 'edge://settings' in block list:
User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge > Block access to a list of URLs

This works great, thanks. However when I added this in Group Policy Editor there was a note in the help section of this setting that says:-
Note that blocking internal 'edge://' URLs isn't recommended - this may lead to unexpected errors.*
Has anyone experienced any such problems? -

I can find User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Microsoft Edge but there is no setting for Block access to a group of URLs. I'm trying to accomplish the same thing as op.
