Downloading and loading these into my central repository brought in the “Configure Microsoft Defender SmartScreen to block potentially unwanted apps” setting I wanted.

What I then discovered (or remembered!) was that there were separate ADMX files to get for Microsoft Edge, updated with each release. I didn’t have this Group Policy setting, so checked I had the latest ADMX files loaded for Wind– which I did, and they include templates for the Chromium based Microsoft Edge. Using GPSearch I looked for “SmartScreenPuaEnabled” and came back withĬonfigure Microsoft Defender SmartScreen to block potentially unwanted apps – User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\SmartScreen settings\ Great, now I knew what was changing, I could work backwards.
