Hi there, has anyone have used the initial preference file to create bookmarks and add extension. It would be a great help if someone can help me out?

I don't think this is an NTLite issue, so I'm not really sure of the relevance here with it...

also, Google is your friend.

Hello, can you please also add google search engine and "Open tab from previous session" option for Edge. Btw, how do I integrate this file to my image?

explore mount directory and add initial_preferences to Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application

google search can only be changed through policies, take a look at this:

Edge Policies for non-Domain-joined Devices – Successfully apply HomepageLocation, DefaultSearchProvider, … – Gunnar Haslinger

i would use something like this along the initial_preferences file:

It doesn't work :/

You're on Pro/EDU/Enterprise? The MDM hack fakes Windows as if you're joined to a domain, to make domain-based policies work.

It doesn't work :/

restart pc after running the reg file, fake mdm needs restart

After reading the article again, I found that it doesn't support my edition. No wonder it doesn't work. Mine is Windows 11 Home. Sorry.... So, is there a way to do it for Windows 11 Home?
