as the title suggests I want to facilitate the developer tools of Microsoft Edge browser on Windows 10 Home.

The thing is, that they are grayed out. Neither pressing F12 nor trying to launch them through the menu works (they are grayed out).

My problem is that I don't see any Turn on/off Developer Tools-option in pgedit.msc

I already did some research and found the following solution on answers.microsoft.com:

  • launch gpedit.msc located at %windir%\System32\
  • go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Toolbars
  • you should see Turn on/off Developer Tools click turn on

pgedit.msc is not installed on Windows 10 Home by default, so one has to download it from itechtics.com/or follow this answer https://superuser.com/a/1018146/564432.

  • I don't see any Turn on/off Developer Tools-option in pgedit.msc, but after killing the explorer.exe and restarting it with the Taskmanager the developer tools are enabled in Microsoft Edge, so you might try rebooting windows/killing and relaunching explorer.exe.

For some reason I don't even see the Toolbars "folder" when I navigate from Computer Configuration, but only when I start from User Configuration.
