Microsoft Edge: Security Update Alerts in the Edge management service

Administrators can set severity thresholds to receive alerts for Microsoft Edge updates with significant security fixes, including zero-day patches. This feature, rolling out worldwide in August 2026, requires no admin action and helps prioritize important updates while reducing routine notifications.

[What and Why:]

Administrators can now choose a severity threshold and receive alerts when a new Edge update includes security fixes that meet or exceed that threshold, including zero-day fixes. This helps organizations quickly identify updates that may require attention, while avoiding unnecessary notifications for routine releases.

[Rollout schedule:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out on early August 2026 and expect to complete by mid-August 2026.

[Impact on your organization:]

No action will be taken on behalf of the administrator. By default, the existing experience that notifies admins of all new Edge updates will remain. Admins can now choose to specify when they would like to receive new update notifications.

[Action required / Recommendations:]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout.
