How to block "Microsoft Edge is no longer supported on this version of Windows" notification?

VinceV2022 25

Users are reporting that Edge is showing a message below the address bar saying "Microsoft Edge is no longer supported on this version of Windows". This is on Windows Server 2012R2 which is supported until 10/2023.

How can I disable this message from being displayed? Clicking the X to close it disables it for that session. On next login the user is presented with it again.

I asked this question in the Edge Community and was directed here.

Hi @VinceV2022 ,

Telen Wang's answer is helpful and does disable the warning banner. Anyway, Microsoft Edge version 109 will be the last version supported on Windows Server 2012 and Windows 2012 R2.

We deployed the GPO over the weekend which appears to have solved the problem.

The frustration comes from the fact that the message was displayed in the first place. There's nothing quite as fun as having 2000+ tickets hit the queue for a problem that shouldn't have been created in the first place.

if you have many servers deployed ,

use group policy to make the change.

if only one server, back up first and make the change.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge ( if no Edge, create it).

Then create REG_DWORD type , name it =SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning

1 = enable, 0 = disable.

Setting the policy to Enabled suppresses the warning that appears when Edge is running on an unsupported computer or operating system.
