Edge card to hide via registry

Hi StewartBW,
Thanks for contacting Microsoft Edge Support. Here are simple, step‑by‑step instructions you can follow.

Here's solution you can try:

Disable the New Tab feed (keep default New Tab, but no cards)

• Step 1: Close Edge. 1. Open Notepad and paste the content below. 2. Go to File > Save As… 3. Save as type: All Files. 4. File name: disable-edge-ntp-feed.reg 5. Encoding: ANSI or Unicode (UTF-16 LE) are both fine. 6. Double‑click the .reg file you saved, then click Yes > Yes to add it to the Registry. 7. Open Edge and navigate to edge://policy to verify the policy has been applied
• Step 2: Save the file below to your Desktop.
• Step 3: Double‑click it. When Windows warns about adding info to the Registry, click Yes. If prompted by UAC, click Yes.
• Step 4: Reopen Edge, go to edge://policy, click Reload Policies. You should see:
  • NewTabPageContentEnabled = 0
  • NewTabPageQuickLinksEnabled = 0
• Step 5: Open a new tab to confirm the feed/cards are gone.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"NewTabPageContentEnabled"=dword:00000000
"NewTabPageQuickLinksEnabled"=dword:00000000

Replace New Tab with a blank page (most strict)

• Follow the same steps, but use this file instead.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"NewTabPageLocation"="about:blank"

How to verify

• Open edge://policy and click Reload Policies.
• Confirm you see your chosen policy:
  • NewTabPageContentEnabled = 0 and/or
  • NewTabPageQuickLinksEnabled = 0 and/or
  • NewTabPageLocation = about:blank
• Open a new tab to test.

If you tell me which approach you want (hide feed vs. blank tab) and whether it’s for just you or the whole device, I can tailor the exact steps and send only the one file you need.
