I updated edge on a VDI Windows 10 test environment. However starting edge from a newly rollod out machine, I always get an "Welcom Back, Confirming you preferences" window. (Not the regular Welcome screen). All settings (like "Hide the First-run experience and splash screen") to suppress the welcome screen are set.

We don't want our users to go to those screens and we wan't our users to use there current profile settings.

This happens also on a newly account with no profiles yes.

I've tried to find other registry settings / files to suppres this screen (I have to go through this screen, it wil not let me do anything in edge)

    Hi,

    We have excalty same situation with our small Intune controlled device setup, where user data is being removed after every boot. I Opened issue to MS, but no luck. They just say the issue is the removal of the user data files after boot. Not that the Edge is not listening registry that in our case says:

    • Hide the First-run experience and splash screen: Enabled
    • Browser sign-in settings: Enabled
      • Browser sign-in settings (Device): Disable browser sign-in
    • Disable synchronization of data using Microsoft sync services: Enabled

    So why in the name of Microsoft does Edge ask's questions like "Would you like to log in or sync data". And rollback to older versions does not work either.
