    Hi @Liang, Mr. J. (Kerr) ,

    Thank you for your reply and more details you provided. Based on your description, I think there may be some errors in the configured path, and what you mentioned should be the policy path of the Legacy Edge. The Group Policy path for Chromium Edge is at: Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/. Please check it. And regarding the management of favorites in the Chromium Edge, it should be affected by this policy: Configure favorites.

    Hi LiangMrJKerr-6944,

    If you have the latest admin templates and it's the latest version of Edge, please first of all check that you don't have multiple GPOs applying to Edge. They are hierarchical, and therefore will supersede each other. Eg. if you have an Edge policy in your default domain policy (not recommended by the way), then that would supersede any policies further down.

    An excellent tool to use is the Resultant Set of Policies (RSOP.MSC) on those computers that are not correctly pulling the policies. RSOP allows you to see what policies the computers are actually pulling and if there is an error when pulling the policies.

    If this is a computer that you have time to work with and cannot get it to work, you can try the following:

    1) Open the Registry Editor on a problematic Windows 10 machine

    2) Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

    3) Delete the "Group Policy" folder

    4) Reboot the machine

    Ensure you backup the registry before you attempt this (I would use this as a last resort).
