M365 Changelog: New Microsoft Edge updater for macOS

MC538725 – Starting with Edge 113, Microsoft Edge for macOS will begin using a new updater called EdgeUpdater.

Note: This change only affects Microsoft Edge on macOS.

Microsoft Edge on macOS

• Timing: Beginning with Microsoft Edge version 113 (scheduled for the week of May 4, 2023)
• Action: If you use update preferences for Microsoft Autoupdate to prevent browser updates, you will need to transition to the new EdgeUpdater UpdateDefault policy before Edge 113 to prevent future automatic updates.

How this will affect your organization:

If you do not transition before the new EdgeUpdater is deployed with Edge 113 (scheduled for the week of May 4. 2023), the new updater will default to updating Microsoft Edge automatically on your macOS devices.

What you need to do to prepare:

To maintain your desired update preferences, you will need to transition to the new EdgeUpdater UpdateDefault policy and set your preferences prior to Edge 113.
