Description

This policy configures the disk cache size in Microsoft Edge.

If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the specified cache size, regardless of whether the user set the --disk-cache-size command-line flag.

The value defined in this policy is treated as a suggestion to the caching system, not a strict limit. Values below a few megabytes are rounded up to a reasonable minimum.

If you set the value to 0, the default cache size is used and users can't override it.

It's recommended not to configure a custom value, as Microsoft Edge automatically manages the cache size for optimal performance. Setting a small value can degrade performance and increase network usage.

If you don’t configure this policy, the default size is used, but users can override it with the --disk-cache-size flag.

Note: The specified value is treated as a hint to multiple cache subsystems. The total disk usage of all caches can be larger than (but within the same order of magnitude as) the configured value.
