Disable Edge Push API Notifications

[Alis_Klar]

Had a reoprt that unwanted headlines were appearing as popups on a new Windows 10 machine I deployed in a class.

 

They were fairly lurid headlines about child murder etc.

 

 

After some investigations it turned out it was the Daily Mail website using the Push API to send headlines to Edge which will notifiy you in Windows 10.

 

Grrrrrr

 

Anyway removed the entry from Edge > Settings > Advanced > Manage Permissions

 

My next question is is there a GPO setting to turn off this c**p

Some images to help illustrate my point

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge\Enabled = 0 (DWORD)

 

That reg key will disabled them for Edge.

@ShellfishClive. Your post is almost impossible to read due to the colour of the text.

Did that help? It looks fine on my side so I've no idea what happening, does this post look okay? That post does have a weird font too.

Much better now.

Is there not an ADMX/GPO for this?

 

As an aside there seems to be two versions of the ADMX for Edge there is an Edge specific one and a general Windows 10 1803 one. They each seem to have different settings.

 

Quite confused.
