This is the default behavior. - If you enable this policy, you can configure redirected sites to open in up to three of the following channels where: 1 = Microsoft Edge Stable 2 = Microsoft Edge Beta version 77 or later 3 = Microsoft Edge Dev version 77 or later 4 = Microsoft Edge Canary version 77 or later If the Windows Update for the next version of Microsoft Edge* or Microsoft Edge Stable channel are not installed, the following behaviors occur: - If you disable or don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge version 45 or earlier is automatically used. This is the default behavior. - If you enable this policy, you can configure redirected sites to open in up to three of the following channels where: 0 = Microsoft Edge version 45 or earlier 1 = Microsoft Edge Stable 2 = Microsoft Edge Beta version 77 or later 3 = Microsoft Edge Dev version 77 or later 4 = Microsoft Edge Canary version 77 or later *For more information about the Windows update for the next version of Microsoft Edge including how to disable it, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2102115.
