Disable Edge First Run Screen with Intune

Question

Hello all,

We are deploying Windows 10 Enterprise with Intune and are going to use Edge.

How do we disable the Edge First Run screen?

Right now the user has to decide to sync or not to sync, and after this choice Edge will automatic sign in and the First Run is concluded.

So how can we disable the Edge First Run screens with Intune?

@Leo Johnson Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, I have done the test in my lab. I configure "Hide the First-run experience and splash screen" and "Force synchronization of browser data and do not show the sync consent prompt" to "Enable" and assign the profile to my user group. Then I login in the Windows 10 device with my AzureAD user account and I find that I can't turn off sync in Edge.

To clarify this issue, we appreciate your help to check if there is any other policy deployed to Microsoft Edge. Please enter "Edge://policy" in Edge's URL like this：

If there is anything unclear, feel free to let us know.

Someone know if the option "Force synchronization of browser data and do not show the sync consent prompt" is broken?
