How to Enable Faster Microsoft Edge Updates on Windows 11
You can enable faster Microsoft Edge updates on Windows 11 through a specific setting within the browser itself.
Microsoft Edge is Windows 11’s default web browser, built on the Chromium engine, the same foundation as Google Chrome. This built-in setting allows you to receive new features and critical security patches sooner.
Enabling this feature ensures you get the latest AI-powered tools and security enhancements for Edge automatically when the browser isn’t in active use. You’ll experience a more secure and up-to-date browsing environment without manual intervention.
Turn ‘Get the latest Microsoft Edge updates faster’ on or off
You can choose to get updates faster to stay protected. Here is how to change this setting in 2026.
- Open the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Click the three dots (…) in the top right corner.
- Select Settings.
- Click About Microsoft Edge at the bottom of the left sidebar.
- Toggle Get the latest Microsoft Edge updates faster to On.
If you want to turn it off, just follow the same steps and toggle the switch to Off.
That is all you need to do!
Conclusion
Turning this feature on ensures your browser updates automatically when you are not using it. This keeps you safe and gives you the newest AI features. Turning it off is helpful if you have a limited internet connection or want to update your browser manually.
