Windows 11 Disable In Private Mode In Microsoft Edge

Method 1: Using Group Policy Editor​

• Open the Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc in the run dialog (Win + R) and pressing Enter.
• Navigate to the following path:
  Code:

   Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Edge

• Locate the policy named "Allow InPrivate browsing".
• Double-click on the policy and set it to Disabled.
• Click Apply and then OK.
• Restart Microsoft Edge for the changes to take effect.
  

  Method 2: Using the Windows Registry​

  If you don't have access to Group Policy Editor, you can modify the Windows Registry: Note: Be very cautious while editing the registry. Incorrect changes can cause system issues.
• Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
• Navigate to the following key:
  Code:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft

• If the Microsoft key doesn't exist, you'll need to create it. Right-click the Policies key, select New -> Key, and name it Microsoft.
• Under the Microsoft key, create a new key named Edge.
• Select the Edge key. On the right pane, right-click and choose New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value.
• Name the new DWORD InPrivateModeAvailability, and set its value to:
• 0 to allow InPrivate mode (default)
• 1 to disable InPrivate mode
• Close the Registry Editor and restart Microsoft Edge for the changes to take effect.
  

  Additional Considerations​

• Administrative Privileges: You might need administrative rights to make these changes particularly on machines governed by IT policies.
• Update Policies: Ensure that any changes comply with your organization's policy and guidelines. If you're managing multiple devices, using Group Policy is more effective since you can deploy settings across all machines in a domain environment. I hope this helps!
