Microsoft Edge browser of Windows 10 comes with a hidden flag page which provides several configurations settings. These configuration settings can change the way you are using the browser. If not handled with proper knowledge, it can lead to problems with the browser. The hidden settings can be accessed by typing about:flags in the address bar of the Edge browser. It’s just the same as the flags of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc. Disabling the settings is necessary if your computer is being used by other members of family, children friends. If you are an administrator of a shared computer, then also you must turn off the about:flags to avoid further problems.

The steps are simple and following the tutorial you can turn on or off the flags anytime you want.
