I had the same issue as Habeeb. Get-AppxPackage was picking up multiple versions of Edge causing errors in the script, so I put the version results into an array and then picked the highest version from the array as my [System.Version]

In reply to Ben R. I fixed the typo in the script.

FYI I need to add (Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name “Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.$UpdateChannel”).Version | Sort-Object -Descending | Select-Object -First 1 to your script when you queey versions. This is due to picking up multiple versions.

Thanks for the script – not sure if it’s just me but although the version is 1.1, the $StoreResults variable is still creating the registry entry as “InTheCloud247\EdgeUpdateAutopilot\v1.0”, so the given detection rule for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\InTheCloud247\EdgeUpdateAutopilot\v1.1 is failing.

Good to know. We will try. Thanks.
I think we will try to do it in a remediation script to regularly check the version and update if needed. Obsolete versions send us a security alert.

We will search the same thing to update Chrome too.

That’s a good one Mathieu!

Only thing that needs to be added is UseBasicParsing as parameter, otherwise it gives an error during AP enrollment;

The response content cannot be parsed because the Internet Explorer engine is not available, or Internet Explorer’s first-launch configuration is not complete. Specify the UseBasicParsing parameter and try again.

First draft:
$Product = ‘Stable’
$Platform = ‘Windows’
$architecture = ‘x64’
$EdgeInfo = (Invoke-WebRequest -uri ‘https://edgeupdates.microsoft.com/api/products?view=enterprise’)
$EdgeVersion = ((($EdgeInfo.content | Convertfrom-json) | ? {$_.product -eq $Product}).releases | ? {$_.Platform -eq $Platform -and $_.architecture -eq $architecture})[0].productversion

Great post! Thanks

I can’t believe MS doesn’t take time to update such a critical app within their new builds…

If I have time I’ll update it to check Edge version online instead of checking if version is greater than 120 by parsing the following JSON.
Invoke-WebRequest -uri ‘https://edgeupdates.microsoft.com/api/products?view=enterprise’
