./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/LockDown/AllowEdgeSwipe
If you disable this policy setting, users won't be able to invoke any system UI by swiping in from any screen edge.
If you enable or don't configure this policy setting, users will be able to invoke system UI by swiping in from the screen edges.
The easiest way to verify the policy is to restart the explorer process or to reboot after the policy is applied, and then try to swipe from the right edge of the screen. The desired result is for Action Center to not be invoked by the swipe. You can also enter tablet mode and attempt to swipe from the top of the screen to rearrange, that will also be disabled.
