Control

The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Allow importing of browser settings" must be set to "disabled". Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge If the value for "ImportBrowserSettings" is not set to "REG_DWORD = 0", this is a finding.

Discussion

Allows users to import browser settings from another browser into Microsoft Edge. If this policy is enabled, the Browser settings check box is automatically selected in the Import browser data dialog box. If this policy is disabled, browser settings are not imported at first run, and users cannot import them manually. If this policy is not configured, browser settings are imported at first run, and users can choose whether to import them manually during later browsing sessions.
