How do I remove "managed by your organization" in Edge settings when my PC is owned only by me and not part of an organization?

Hi Bill,

On a personal laptop it's almost always a leftover Windows policy in the registry from previous software or a tweak, not an actual organization. The cleanest fix is to remove any Edge policies and restart Edge.

First, in Edge type edge://policy in the address bar and note what's listed so you can verify it's gone later, then close Edge completely. Now open an elevated terminal (right-click Start, choose Windows Terminal (Admin)) and run these four commands exactly as written, one by one. They only delete the policy branches, not your bookmarks or data:

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /f
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate" /f

Reopen Edge and go back to edge://policy. It should show no policies, and the "managed by your organization" banner should also be gone. If it's still there, restart Windows and check again.If anything still shows up in edge://policy, look at the "Source" column. If it says "Cloud" or "MDM", tell me what it shows and I'll walk you through disconnecting that account, but in most home setups removing the local policy keys above resolves it.
