20H2 starts with Edge Welcome to Windows.

20H2 boots to Windows Tips, which I stopped via a registry edit.

But it still boots up to Welcome To Windows with Edge opening.

I found two 'solutions' for this.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft and adding Microsoft Edge and Main.
Then add PreventFirstRunPage with a value of 1.
That didn't work.

Another I found was:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge]
"HideFirstRunExperience"=dword:00000001

That didn't work. Has anyone found a solid reg edit to stop the first run Experience in Edge for 20H2?

Hi, @RickSomeone-1151
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
Have we tried to use group policy to stop the first run Experience in Edge?
We can open the Local Group Policy Editor and browse the following path:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge
double-click the Prevent the First Run webpage from opening on Microsoft Edge policy and enable it.

We don't have GPO set up yet. I'm going to repost this question a bit differently. Thank you.
