@Zapat ,

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.

You add this url: 'edge://settings' in block list:

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge > Block access to a list of URLs

@Nima Jouyandeh
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?

This will block user from accessing 'settings' page which is considered an internal link. I don't think if it breaks the browsing ability. Note that this a user policy and it'll impact the targeted user accounts not all.

I know this is old, but has this location in GPO changed? 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.
