Does the user have a gpo that enables the setting? That's what it sounds like to me considering:
I'm also not clear if they are saying when they checked the setting was disabled, or if they're saying it was enabled and they don't recall setting it.
Of the 100s (possibly 1000s) of complaints I have about Windows, and Microsoft in general, some dude whose not sure how Edge imported settings is pretty far down on my list. Especially when the claim doesn't come with a before after screenshot, or the ability to reproduce it.
If it is due to policy, Edge should show expected setting greyed out and display message along the lines "your organization is managing this setting".
This sounds like some niche bug.
Right but they didn't include a screenshot. To my hazy recollection it still shows you what the setting is even if it's org managed. Their description isn't exactly clear to me either:
The last line isn't clear to me if it was disabled when they checked, or if they think is was disabled before they checked and when they checked they discovered it was enabled.
To your incredibly valid point, it very well could be a bug in the buggiest software known to man, but the fact that it isn't reproducible means I really doubt that, "MiCrOsOfT wAnTs My ChRoMe TaBs."
