After upgrading Edge (Chromium) to version 90 last evening, I am seeing the above issue on three Windows 10 systems:
- 2 20H2 personal/non-managed and
- 1 1803 LTSB corporate/managed (from home via VPN)
Also noticed this new language on the update page on the non-managed/personal systems:
“Update policies are configured but will be ignored because this device isn’t domain joined.”
On the managed 1803 system, that language does not appear, but instead, there is a small briefcase icon next to the build number – hovering over the icon reveals the text, ” Microsoft Edge updates are managed by your organization.”
As I am writing this, the managed browser completed the update check (up to date) without errors. The personal systems are still not reaching MS servers.
UPDATE: Just as I posted (of course), the personal systems also seem to be reaching MS severs as the update check just completed successfully. Still curious about the new ‘update policies …’ language.
