"Prevent ignoring certificate errors" for Microsoft Edge on 2012 R2

I am trying to disable the option to "Continue to hostname (unsafe)" when Microsoft Edge (Chromium) checks the cert and it returns as not secure.

I can set this for IE (Internet Options) and there seems to be policy settings for Win10 (Prevent ignoring certificate errors) but I cannot find any way to disable the "Continue" option on 2012 R2.

Does anyone know if this is possible and who it can be done?

Thanks in advance.

    That works!!

    How did I miss that other policy setting??

    Thanks for taking the time to help with this.

    For the sake of anyone following or finding this the policy to use to prevent users ignoring and proceeding from SSL certificate errors in Edge browser is this one:

    Hi,

    Thanks for your time and patience!
    I prepared 2 workstations in my lab with one WIN Pro and One enterprise.
    The workstations actually applied, but it didn't not work.

    Then i tried another policy: Allow users to proceed from the HTTPS warning page under Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/
    The policy was supported On Windows and macOS since 77 or later.

    I tried this policy on windows 10, server 2016 and 2012 the policy was applied successfully.

    The continue option is gone.

    Hope it can be a workaround in your environment.
    If i have any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
