The Microsoft Edge browser updates automatically by default, and we recommend this as the best method to receive version releases, regardless of the release cycle option selected. Organizations using Microsoft Endpoint Manager will also be able to select the 8-week “Extended Stable” release option via Intune. If this policy is not set, Microsoft Edge will default to the 4-week “Stable” release cycle. IT administrators will be able to opt-in to the 8-week “Extended Stable” release cycle option for Microsoft Edge Stable by using the “Target Channel override” Group Policy and selecting the “Extended Stable” option (updated policy files will be available from the Microsoft Edge Business website with Microsoft Edge 94). Opt-in and manage using Group Policy or Microsoft Endpoint Manager
#MICROSOFT EDGE BROWSER WILL RELEASE CYCLE UPDATE#
Note: The WebView2 Runtime will update following the 4-week “Stable” release cycle. While feature updates will be packaged and delivered with new version releases based on the selected release cycle, important security patches and fixes will be delivered as needed independent of the selected release option to help maintain browser security.
For instance, if an organization selects the 8-week “Extended Stable” release cycle with Microsoft Edge 94, they will receive subsequent feature updates with Microsoft Edge 96, Microsoft Edge 98, and so on. The 8-week “Extended Stable” release cycle option for Microsoft Edge Stable will deliver cumulative feature updates aligned with even-numbered releases beginning with Microsoft Edge 94 any feature updates from odd-numbered releases will be packaged up and delivered as part of the subsequent even-numbered release. It’s like setting a recurring update for the Microsoft Edge stable application where a cumulative set of features will be delivered to the browser based on the selected release cycle. This means there isn’t a new browser application to deploy to use the “Extended Stable” release option-organizations can just select the release cycle option that is right for them.
Starting with Microsoft Edge 94, IT administrators will have the flexibility to select between different release cycle options for Microsoft Edge Stable: the 4-week “Stable” option or the 8-week “Extended Stable” option. “Extended Stable” is available starting with Microsoft Edge 94 Representation of how releases will be delivered to Microsoft Edge for the “Stable” and “Extended Stable” release cycle options. To more effectively serve organizations who may want a longer timeline, we will offer a new 8-week “Extended Stable” release cycle option (configurable by Group Policy) in addition to the regular 4-week “Stable” release cycle which will be the default beginning with Microsoft Edge 94. Organizations though might experience this change differently due to the complexities of testing, deployment, and maintenance. For most users, this means receiving and enjoying our latest browser innovations on a more frequent basis. In March, we announced that Microsoft Edge would be moving from a 6-week to a 4-week release cycle cadence to deliver more innovation to users and organizations, faster.
