Now the problem is back, a shortcut is once again created. Now everything works as expected! Then I ran an update of Edge from within Help->About and it updated to version 86. I eventually, grabbing for anything, went back and tested version 83. I also tried "do_not_create_quick_launch_shortcut":true as this is what is supported for Chrome in Windows 10, the other value is for Windows 8 and below.

This however makes no difference, it still creates a shortcut on the taskbar after starting Edge for the first time. Setting this to true writes the value "do_not_create_taskbar_shortcut":true into the master_preferences file. The MSI file now supports the parameter DONOTCREATETASKBARSHORTCUT. When installing the latest MSI Enterprise (version 85) it creates a shortcut on the taskbar when running Edge for the first time (except for existing profiles). Our organization just started testing Edge Chromium and I have pulled my hair out in the past few days. I know nothing has happened in this thread for a while.
