If you enable this policy, EdgeUpdater handles Microsoft Copilot updates according to how you configure the following options:

  • Always allow updates: Updates are always applied when found, either by periodic update check or by a manual update check.
  • Automatic silent updates only: Updates are applied only when they're found by the periodic update check.
  • Manual updates only: Updates are applied only when the user runs a manual update check.
  • Updates disabled: Updates are never applied.

If you select manual updates, make sure you periodically check for updates by using the app's manual update mechanism, if available. If you disable updates, periodically check for updates, and distribute them to users.

If you don't enable and configure this policy, EdgeUpdater handles available updates as specified by the Update policy override policy.
