Method 1: Using the Registry Editor
The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that contains all the information and settings for the operating system and applications. If the setting is already configured, then the value will be already existing in the Registry. However, if the setting is not configured yet, then the user needs to create the missing key and value for that specific setting. You can also create a Registry backup before making any new changes in the Registry. The editing for the favorites can be disabled by following the below steps carefully: Note: The setting can be configured for both the Current User and Current Machine hives. The path will be the same, but the hives will be different.
Method 2: Using the Local Group Policy Editor
The Group Policy Editor is another alternative method for this setting in Microsoft Edge. Sometimes the latest application will require the latest policy settings. If you are using the new Microsoft Edge, then you need to download the latest policy files as shown in the below steps. That is why it will require some extra steps compared to the Registry Editor method. However, if you are using the old (legacy) version of the Microsoft Edge, then you need to use the already existing policy setting. For the Microsoft Edge legacy version, go to the following path in the Local Group Policy Editor “Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\“. You can also check the User Configuration category. Note: If you are using the Windows 10 Home operating system, then kindly skip this method. That is because the Group Policy Editor isn’t available in the Windows 10 Home edition.
