Introduction Understanding Autofill in Microsoft Edge

Autofill in Microsoft Edge streamlines your online experience by automatically populating forms with saved information like usernames, passwords, and addresses. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to enable or disable this feature in Windows 10, giving you complete control over your browsing preferences.

Whether you prioritize convenience or privacy, this tutorial offers clear, concise methods to manage Autofill settings using both the Local Group Policy Editor and REG files.

Option One: Enabling/Disabling Autofill via Local Group Policy Editor

The Local Group Policy Editor is a powerful tool for managing system settings. This method is available in Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor (search for 'gpedit.msc').

2. Navigate to: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge.

3. Double-click on the 'Configure Autofill' policy.

4. Select 'Not Configured' or 'Enabled' to enable Autofill, or 'Disabled' to disable it.

5. Click 'OK' and restart Microsoft Edge for the changes to take effect.

Option Two: Enabling/Disabling Autofill using REG Files

REG files offer a quick way to modify registry settings. This method works on all Windows 10 editions.

Here's how:

1. Download the appropriate REG file (Enable_Autofill_in_Microsoft_Edge.reg or Disable_Autofill_in_Microsoft_Edge.reg).

2. Double-click the downloaded file and approve the merge when prompted.

3. Restart Microsoft Edge to apply the changes.

This method directly modifies the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main.

The 'Use FormSuggest' string value controls Autofill (delete = enable, no = disable).
