Description

If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the provided directory to store a roaming copy of the profiles, as long as you've also enabled the RoamingProfileSupportEnabled policy. If you disable the RoamingProfileSupportEnabled policy or don't configure it, the value stored in this policy isn't used.

If you don't configure this policy, the default roaming profile path is used.
