Every time the Microsoft Edge browser gets an update, it usually displays a Welcome Page the first time you open it right after you have it updated. If you’d like to cut to the chase and rather not see the Welcome Page, you definitely have the option to do so by using either the Group Policy Editor or the Windows Registry. To do so, follow each instruction below.
Option #1 – Using the Local Group Policy Editor
This is the easiest way for both the Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise. Refer to the following steps to know how.

  1. Launch Run by tapping both Win + R keys.
  2. After that, type in msc in the box and then tap Enter to open Local Group Policy Editor.
  3. Afterwards, proceed to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge.
  4. Double click on the Prevent First Run from opening on Microsoft Edge You will see the following message. Click the Enable button.

“This policy setting lets you decide whether employees see Microsoft’s First Run webpage when opening Microsoft Edge for the first time. If you enable this setting, employees won’t see the First Run page when opening Microsoft Edge for the first time. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, employees will see the First Run page when opening Microsoft Edge for the first time.”

  1. Finally, click the Apply and Okay buttons.


In case you want to undo the changes you’ve made, repeat all the steps until step 4 and then click on the Not Configured option.
