Default Microsoft Edge policies for Surface Hub

Microsoft Edge is preconfigured with the following policy setttings to provide an optimized experience for Surface Hub.

Tip

It's recommended to retain the default value for these policy settings.

Policy settingRecommended experienceDefault value
AutoImportAtFirstRunDo not automatically import datatypes and settings from Microsoft Edge Legacy. This avoids changing signed-in users' profiles with shared settings from the Surface Hub.4
BackgroundModeEnabledAllow Microsoft Edge processes to keep running in the background even after the last browser window is closed, enabling faster access to web apps during a session.1
BrowserAddProfileEnabledDo not allow users to create new profiles in Microsoft Edge. This simplifies the browsing and signed-in experience.0
BrowserGuestModeEnabledEnables only one user to sign-in to Microsoft Edge. This simplifies the browsing and signed-in experience0
BrowserSigninEnables users to enjoy Single Sign-On (SSO) in Microsoft Edge. When a user is signed into Surface Hub, their credentials can flow to supported websites without requiring them to re-authenticate.1
ExtensionInstallBlockListPrevents non-admin users from installing new extensions in Microsoft Edge. To configure a list of extensions to be installed by default, use ExtensionInstallForcelist.*
HideFirstRunExperienceHides the first run experience and splash screen that's normally shown when users run Microsoft Edge for the first time. Since Surface Hub is a shared device, this simplifies the user experience.1
InPrivateModeAvailabilityDisables InPrivate mode. Since End Session already clears browsing data, this simplifies the browsing and signed-in experience.1
NewTabPageSetFeedTypeShows the Office 365 feed experience on new tab pages. When a user is signed into Surface Hub, this enables fast access to their files and content on Office 365.1
NonRemovableProfileEnabledWhen a user is signed into Surface Hub, a non-removable profile will be created using their organizational account. This simplifies the Single Sign-On (SSO) experience.1
PrintingEnabledDisables printing in Microsoft Edge. Surface Hub does not support printing.0
ProActiveAuthEnabledEnables Microsoft Edge to proactively authenticate signed-in users with Microsoft services. This simplifies the Single Sign-On (SSO) experience.1
PromptForDownloadLocationAutomatically saves files to the Downloads folder, rather than asking users where to save the file. This simplifies the browsing experience.0

The new Microsoft Edge supports translation for more than 60 languages. The browser will automatically prompt you to translate a webpage when when the page you're opening is in a language other than those listed under your preferred languages in settings.

  1. Open a webpage in Microsoft Edge. The browser automatically detects the language of the page and a menu appears asking you to confirm that you want to translate the page.

  2. Do any of the following:

    • In the Translate to list, choose the language you want to translate the page to. The default is the language you've set for Microsoft Edge.

    • To translate the page, click Translate.

    • To always automatically translate from the source language, select the Always translate from [Language] check box.

    • To skip translation, in the list on the lower right, select Not now to skip translation or Never translate [Language] to never have the panel appear when you go to a page using that language.

      Note: You can manually open the panel later, even if you select the option to never translate.

  3. On side of the address bar, you'll briefly see the status showing that the page has been translated.
    If you select the translate icon in the address bar, the menu that appears also shows the status.
