That’s when I stumbled across a blog post by Gunnar Haslinger that does just that. And by that I mean that I started looking for ways to fake the MDM enrollment.
Chromium edge opening about blank windows#
Well, I don’t enroll my personal Windows boxes into any kind of MDM, so that’s a non-starter. If the window title is not found for attaching, Blue Prism uses the executable to open Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. If I look under edge://policy it seems like the policy I set in the registry for the new page is blocked:
Chromium edge opening about blank windows 10#
This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management, or macOS instances that are that are managed via MDM or joined to a domain via MCX.Īs it turns out, the feature exists, but is not accessible for some reason to anyone other than folks that enrolled their device in Mobile Device Management (MDM). Indeed there is! But wait, hold on a second, what is this remark? That seems cumbersome as a first solution, so maybe there is some kind of registry key that does this instead? The page is sourced through chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html so one avenue could be figuring out where that HTML is served from and overwriting it with an empty page. Open Windows Settings, navigate to Default Apps and select Default. This logo is not something I want to stare for the occasional Microsoft Edge launch, so I thought I’d explore ways to make this blank. Windows users can run tests in either the legacy or the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge. If you are blackholing the Edge NTP URLs, you get to see the local NTP, which only has a search box that defaults to your default search provider, and a giant Edge logo (thanks for the reminder, I didn’t know I was using Microsoft Edge here). ADP certifies Microsoft Edge based on Chromium (latest version) on Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows 11. But when trying to click on 'Settings and more' or pressing Alt+F nothing happens. If you are connected to the Internet and are not blackholing Edge-related URLs, such as their New Tab Page (NTP) on, then you get to see all the ad surface logos and a search bar. Edge seemed to be normal today in general, for the first time in months it actually displayed anything, but only when opening Edge, when Windows opens a link in Edge the window still is completely blank, no UI no text, nothing.
Instead of giving the option to just make the page blank (recall that Internet Explorer allowed you to do this), I can only “customize it.” You know, the thing that you could set in Firefox for ages: Not a tab with minimal ads, but just one that is blank. It’s ridiculous that I have to write it, but it looks like there is no hope in this being an actual feature of the Microsoft Edge web browser - setting a blank new tab.
