Hi,
Based on my research, there is no way to disable Modern IE address bar. Registry settings is only available to Desktop IE.
Modern IE does read several registry strings. It has special permissions. For instance the option to always show the navbar is a registry key.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing]
"TabsStickyMode"=dword:00000000
I thought there might be another one for completely disabling the address bar. When Modern IE runs at the app in an assigned account, that would be useful. Maybe you can forward this to the product team? Thanks.
This scenario has come up before and answers have varied between using third party modern browser apps and using Internet Explorer Kiosk Mode on the desktop. See:
