Hi'
I'm not familiar with Edge and not finding recent related Community Topic.

Whats the current Edge setup recommendation.
When I have Application Protection > C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe at Protect
& C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe at Protect
I cannot type in Edge address bar.

When I have Application Protection >
C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe at Allow
&
C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe at Protect
I can type in Edge address bar.

Is MicrosoftEdge.exe at Allow & MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe at Protect current best Edge setup recommendation.

Thanks

Don't try to add to Identity Shield as you said you can't type in the address bar and in time Edge will be gone as it looks like Microsoft want's to use a Chrome based browser. https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/4/18125238/microsoft-chrome-browser-windows-10-edge-chromium but you can add the Web Shield from the Microsoft Store from within Edge:

Here is the link from the Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NT6C2Z1HFNM
