Recently, after updating the Microsoft Edge web browser, I noticed that the 'About' page shows a message: Update policies are configured but will be ignored because this device is not domain-joined .
Generally, when malware enters a system, it changes some of the policies, allowing the hacker to take control of the user's computer. However, this is not the case with the message displayed in the Edge browser. If you see this message in the About section of your Edge browser, do not associate it with the malware infection. You don't have to worry as your system is completely safe.
In this post we will see what this error is and how to fix it.
Update policies are configured but ignored because this device is not domain-joined
If you read the message carefully, you will know what this message means exactly. It clearly states that some update policies are configured for Microsoft Edge, but these policies cannot be applied because the device is not domain-joined. What does the word domain mean?/>Does it affect your browsing experience? Well, the answer to this question can easily be deduced from the message. The message states that the updated policies can be ignored by the end user and will not affect your browsing experience. You can use Microsoft Edge to browse the web as usual.
How to fix this error
To fix this error, you need to connect your computer to the Windows domain network if you want to be in compliance with the update policy.
If you are a Windows 10 Home user, you can ignore this message as Windows 10 Home edition does not support joining Windows domain network.
If you are using Windows 10 edition other than Windows 10 Home, you can easily join your system to the domain. After connecting to the domain, restart the Edge browser (if you already have it open) and go to ' Help and Feedback > About '. You will see that the message has disappeared.
Hope that helps.
