Title

User feedback must be disabled.

Control

The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Allow user feedback" 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 UserFeedbackAllowed is not set to "REG_DWORD = 0", this is a finding.

Discussion

Microsoft Edge uses the Edge Feedback feature (enabled by default) to allow users to send feedback, suggestions, or customer surveys and to report any issues with the browser. By default, users cannot disable (turn off) the Edge Feedback feature. If this policy is enabled or not configured, users can invoke Edge Feedback. If this policy is disabled, users cannot invoke Edge Feedback.
