Microsoft is adding screenshot prevention controls to Edge for Business. This will prevent users from transmitting the content of protected web pages to competitors, relatives and journalists.
The company states that the new policy will prevent data theft in the browser by blocking the ability to capture screenshots on pages designated as confidential or secure. Enterprise IT professionals will have the ability to define such pages with group policies for services like Microsoft 365, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Microsoft Intune Mobile Application Management, and Microsoft Pureview.
Microsoft plans to implement this feature in the coming months. But it is unclear how the company will prevent third-party tools from capturing screenshots and videos.
This announcement follows the unveiling of Recall, an AI-based tool for Copilot+ laptops that allows users to search through their past actions by recording the screen and collecting data on all user activity, including files, photos, emails, and browsing history.
Finally, the Edge management service will soon allow admins to see which devices are running outdated versions of the browser. Microsoft will introduce additional measures, including forcing the browser to restart to install updates, enabling automatic browser updates, and activating Enhanced Security Mode for protection.

Found bug in WinAeroTweaker…
FileExplorer / Customise this pc folders.. fails to open. I have removed some of the default folders, and added a new one with your tweaker. Once that is done, this has now appeared.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Thank you for the report.
I will take a look.
Looks like the app is looking for some of the removed folders. Indeed a bug.
