Description

Specifies whether Microsoft Edge Update will update on connections marked as metered, such as cellular connections or others where data usage is controlled for all apps.

If you don't enable and configure this policy, updates occur based the 'Download Updates over metered connections' toggle in the About Page of the Microsoft Edge browser. If a user doesn't make a choice, the Windows setting is used. You can find out more about the Windows setting here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#allowautowindowsupdatedownloadovermeterednetwork

Always allow updates (2): Updates are always downloaded when found, either by automatic update check or by a manual update check.
