MVP Assistant and Edge Browser
I recently ran the latest version of the MVP Assistant basically to see what it did. I didn't really need it to solve any issues. However, a few days later while trying to track down a performance issue with my Edge browser, I discovered that MS thinks my browser is now "managed". This in turn disabled some settings in my browser. I tracked this down to MVP Assistant creating a "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" key in the registry to point to a new folder created in "C:\ProgramData\MVP Assistant\WebView2".
The only setting that "I found" disabled was for "Secure DNS". There may be more. Since I didn't really have a need for the MVP Assistant tool at this time, I deleted the registry key and the "ProgramData\MVP Assistant" folder and rebooted. After the reboot, Edge no longer thought it was managed by an Edge policy and the Secure DNS option returned.
This post is just FYI.
