By default, efficiency mode is set to ‘BalancedSavings’. On devices with no battery, the default is for efficiency mode to never become active. Individual sites may be blocked from participating in efficiency mode by configuring the policy SleepingTabsBlockedForUrls. Set this policy to ‘ActiveWhenUnplugged’ and efficiency mode will become active when the device is unplugged. Set this policy to ‘ActiveWhenUnpluggedBatteryLow’ and efficiency mode will become active when the device is unplugged and the battery is low.

Set this policy to ‘BalancedSavings’ and when the device is unplugged, efficiency mode will take moderate steps to save battery. When the device is unplugged and the battery is low, efficiency mode will take additional steps to save battery. Set this policy to ‘MaximumSavings’ and when the device is unplugged or unplugged and the battery is low, efficiency mode takes additional steps to save battery.

If the device does not have a battery, efficiency mode will never become active in any mode other than ‘AlwaysActive’ unless the setting or EfficiencyModeEnabled policy is enabled. This policy has no effect if the EfficiencyModeEnabled policy is disabled.

When the device is unplugged and the battery is low, efficiency mode takes additional steps to save battery. Enables efficiency mode which helps extend battery life by saving computer resources. By default, efficiency mode is enabled for devices with a battery and disabled otherwise. If you enable this policy, efficiency mode will become active according to the setting chosen by the user. You can configure the efficiency mode setting using the EfficiencyMode policy.

If the device does not have a battery, efficiency mode will always be active. If you disable this policy, efficiency mode will never become active. If you don’t configure this policy, efficiency mode will be enabled for devices with a battery and disabled otherwise. Allows efficiency mode to become active when the device is connected to a power source.

On devices with no battery, this policy has no effect. If you enable this policy, efficiency mode will become active when the device is connected to a power source. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, efficiency mode will never become active when the device is connected to a power source.

The performance detector detects tab performance issues and recommends actions to fix the performance issues. Allows Microsoft Edge processes to start at OS sign-in and restart in background after the last browser window is closed. If Microsoft Edge is running in background mode, the browser might not close when the last window is closed and the browser won’t be restarted in background when the window closes.

See the BackgroundModeEnabled policy for information about what happens after configuring Microsoft Edge background mode behavior.

If you don’t configure this policy, startup boost may initially be off or on. Setting the policy lets you set a list of URL patterns that can capture tabs with their same Origin. Leaving the policy unset means that sites will not be considered for an override at this scope of capture. This policy only matches based on origin, so any path in the URL pattern is ignored. Leaving the policy unset means that sites will not be considered for an override at this scope of Capture.

Overrides Microsoft Edge default printer selection rules. This policy determines the rules for selecting the default printer in Microsoft Edge, which happens the first time a user tries to print a page. When this policy is set, Microsoft Edge tries to find a printer that matches all of the specified attributes and uses it as default printer. If there are multiple printers that meet the criteria, the first printer that matches is used.

If you don’t configure this policy or no matching printers are found within the timeout, the printer defaults to the built-in PDF printer or no printer, if the PDF printer isn’t available. Omitting a field means all values match; for example, if you don’t specify connectivity Print Preview starts discovering all kinds of local printers.

Regular expression patterns must follow the JavaScript RegExp syntax and matches are case sensitive. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, Microsoft Edge will not default to setting the Print as image option in the Print Preview when printing a PDF. Printing to a PostScript printer on Microsoft Windows different PostScript generation methods can affect printing performance. If you set this policy to Default, Microsoft Edge will use a set of default options when generating PostScript.

For text in particular, text will always be rendered using Type 3 fonts. If you set this policy to Type42, Microsoft Edge will render text using Type 42 fonts if possible. This should increase printing speed for some PostScript printers. Tells Microsoft Edge to use the system default printer as the default choice in Print Preview instead of the most recently used printer.

If you disable this policy or don’t configure it, Print Preview uses the most recently used printer as the default destination choice. If you enable this policy, Print Preview uses the OS system default printer as the default destination choice.

When printing to a non-PostScript printer on Windows, sometimes print jobs need to be rasterized to print correctly. If you set this policy to ‘Full’ or don’t configure it, Microsoft Edge will do full page rasterization if necessary.

If you set this policy to ‘Fast’, Microsoft Edge will reduce the amount of rasterization which can help reduce print job sizes and increase printing speed.

When printing a PDF using the Print to image option, it can be beneficial to specify a print resolution other than a device’s printer setting or the PDF default. A high resolution will significantly increase the processing and printing time while a low resolution can lead to poor imaging quality.

If you set this policy, it allows a particular resolution to be specified for use when rasterizing PDFs for printing. If you set this policy to zero or don’t configure it, the system default resolution will be used during rasterization of page images. If you set this policy to ‘EnableAll’ or don’t configure it, Microsoft Edge applies the last used print preview settings for both PDF and webpages. If you set this policy to ‘DisablePdf’, Microsoft Edge doesn’t apply the last used print preview settings for PDF printing and retains it for webpages.

If you set this policy to ‘DisableWebpage’, Microsoft Edge doesn’t apply the last used print preview settings for webpage printing and retain it for PDF. This policy is only available if you enable or don’t configure the PrintingEnabled policy.

Placing all printer types on the deny list effectively disables printing, because there’s no print destination for documents. If you don’t configure this policy, or the printer list is empty, all printer types are discoverable. Printer destinations include extension printers and local printers. Extension printers are also known as print provider destinations, and include any destination that belongs to a Microsoft Edge extension.

Local printers are also known as native printing destinations, and include destinations available to the local machine and shared network printers. In Microsoft version 93 or later, if you set this policy to ‘pdf’ it also disables the ‘save as Pdf’ option from the right click context menu. In Microsoft version or later, if you set this policy to ‘onedrive’ it also disables the ‘save as Pdf OneDrive ‘ option from print preview. Restricts background graphics printing mode.

If this policy isn’t set there’s no restriction on printing background graphics. Overrides the last used setting for printing background graphics. If you enable this setting, background graphics printing is enabled. If you disable this setting, background graphics printing is disabled. If you disable this policy, users can’t print from Microsoft Edge. Printing is disabled in the wrench menu, extensions, JavaScript applications, and so on.

Users can still print from plug-ins that bypass Microsoft Edge while printing. For example, certain Adobe Flash applications have the print option in their context menu, which isn’t covered by this policy. It describes the desired height and width in micrometers.

Policy that violates these rules is ignored. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, users can decide whether to print webpages in Portrait or Landscape layout. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge opens the system print dialog instead of the built-in print preview when a user prints a page. If you don’t configure or disable this policy, print commands trigger the Microsoft Edge print preview screen. Controls whether insecure websites are allowed to make requests to more-private network endpoints.

This policy relates to the Private Network Access specification. Otherwise, it will be treated as an insecure context. When this policy is either not set or set to false, the default behavior for requests from insecure contexts to more-private network endpoints will depend on the user’s personal configuration for the BlockInsecurePrivateNetworkRequests feature, which may be set by a field trial or on the command line.

When this policy is set to True, insecure websites are allowed to make requests to any network endpoint, subject to other cross-origin checks. List of URL patterns. Private network requests initiated from insecure websites served by matching origins are allowed. For origins not covered by the patterns specified here, the global default value will be used either from the InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowed policy, if it is set, or the user’s personal configuration otherwise.

Note that this policy only affects insecure origins, so secure origins e. It is currently supported but will become obsolete in a future release.

This policy is deprecated, use ProxySettings instead. It won’t work in Microsoft Edge version If you selected any other mode for configuring proxy policies, don’t enable or configure this policy.

If you enable this policy, you can create a list of hosts for which Microsoft Edge doesn’t use a proxy. If you don’t configure this policy, no list of hosts is created for which Microsoft Edge bypasses a proxy. Leave this policy unconfigured if you’ve specified any other method for setting proxy policies. If you set this policy to Enabled you can specify the proxy server Microsoft Edge uses and prevents users from changing proxy settings.

Microsoft Edge ignores all proxy-related options specified from the command line. The policy is only applied if the ProxySettings policy isn’t specified. If you enable this policy, you can specify the URL for a PAC file, which defines how the browser automatically chooses the appropriate proxy server for fetching a particular website.

If you disable or don’t configure this policy, no PAC file is specified. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, users can choose their own proxy settings while in this proxy mode.

If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge ignores all proxy-related options specified from the command line. Setting the ProxySettings policy accepts the following fields:. Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that are not allowed to be put to sleep by sleeping tabs. Sites in this list are also excluded from other performance optimizations like efficiency mode and tab discard.

If the policy SleepingTabsEnabled is disabled, this list is not used and no sites will be put to sleep automatically. If you don’t configure this policy, all sites will be eligible to be put to sleep unless the user’s personal configuration blocks them. This policy setting lets you configure whether to turn on sleeping tabs.

Sleeping tabs reduces CPU, battery, and memory usage by putting idle background tabs to sleep. Microsoft Edge uses heuristics to avoid putting tabs to sleep that do useful work in the background, such as display notifications, play sound, and stream video. By default, sleeping tabs is turned on. Individual sites may be blocked from being put to sleep by configuring the policy SleepingTabsBlockedForUrls.

This policy setting lets you configure the timeout, in seconds, after which inactive background tabs will be automatically put to sleep if sleeping tabs is enabled. By default, this timeout is 7, seconds 2 hours.

Tabs are only put to sleep automatically when the policy SleepingTabsEnabled is enabled or is not configured and the user has enabled the sleeping tabs setting. This policy doesn’t work because it was only intended to be a short-term mechanism to support the update to a new SmartScreen client. This policy is only available on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management.

This policy setting lets you decide whether users can override the Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warnings about potentially malicious websites. If you enable this setting, users can’t ignore Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warnings and they are blocked from continuing to the site. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, users can ignore Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warnings and continue to the site. This policy lets you determine whether users can override Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warnings about unverified downloads.

If you enable this policy, users in your organization can’t ignore Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warnings, and they’re prevented from completing the unverified downloads. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, users can ignore Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warnings and complete unverified downloads. Configure the list of Microsoft Defender SmartScreen trusted domains. This means: Microsoft Defender SmartScreen won’t check for potentially malicious resources like phishing software and other malware if the source URLs match these domains.

The Microsoft Defender SmartScreen download protection service won’t check downloads hosted on these domains. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen trusts these domains. If you disable or don’t set this policy, default Microsoft Defender SmartScreen protection is applied to all resources.

Also note that this policy does not apply if your organization has enabled Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection. You must configure your allow and block lists in Microsoft Defender Security Center instead.

This policy setting lets you configure whether to turn on Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen provides warning messages to help protect your users from potential phishing scams and malicious software. By default, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is turned on. If you don’t configure this setting, users can choose whether to use Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. This policy setting lets you configure whether Microsoft Defender SmartScreen checks download reputation from a trusted source.

In Windows, the policy determines a trusted source by checking its Internet zone. If the source comes from the local system, intranet, or trusted sites zone, then the download is considered trusted and safe. If you enable or don’t configure this setting, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen checks the download’s reputation regardless of source.

If you disable this setting, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen doesn’t check the download’s reputation when downloading from a trusted source. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management. This policy setting lets you configure whether to turn on blocking for potentially unwanted apps with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen.

Potentially unwanted app blocking with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen provides warning messages to help protect users from adware, coin miners, bundleware, and other low-reputation apps that are hosted by websites. Potentially unwanted app blocking with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is turned off by default. If you enable this setting, potentially unwanted app blocking with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is turned on.

If you disable this setting, potentially unwanted app blocking with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is turned off. If you don’t configure this setting, users can choose whether to use potentially unwanted app blocking with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen.

Configures the default home page in Microsoft Edge. You can set the home page to a URL you specify or to the new tab page. If you enable this policy, the Home button is set to the new tab page as configured by the user or with the policy NewTabPageLocation and the URL set with the policy HomepageLocation is not taken into consideration.

If you disable this policy, the Home button is the set URL as configured by the user or as configured in the policy HomepageLocation. If you don’t configure this policy, users can choose whether the set URL or the new tab page is their home page. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain or Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances enrolled for device management.

The home page is the page opened by the Home button. The pages that open on startup are controlled by the RestoreOnStartup policies.

By default, the Home button will open the new tab page as configured by the user or with the policy NewTabPageLocation , and the user will be able to choose between the URL configured by this policy and the new tab page. If you enable this policy, users can’t change their home page URL, but they can choose the behavior for the Home button to open either the set URL or the new tab page.

If you disable or don’t configure this policy, users can choose their own home page, as long as the HomepageIsNewTabPage policy isn’t enabled.

This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro, or Enterprise instances enrolled for device management. You can configure which types of background image that are allowed on the new tab page layout in Microsoft Edge. If you enable or don’t configure this policy, there is no change on the Microsoft Edge new tab page and App Launcher is there for users.

If you disable this policy, App Launcher doesn’t appear and users won’t be able to launch M apps from Microsoft Edge new tab page via the App Launcher.

This policy didn’t work as expected due to changes in operational requirements. Therefore it’s obsolete and should not be used.

The policy should be configured as a string that expresses the logo s in JSON format. You configure this policy by specifying the URL from which Microsoft Edge can download the logo and its cryptographic hash SHA , which is used to verify the integrity of the download. The logo is downloaded and cached, and it will be redownloaded whenever the URL or the hash changes.

The URL must be accessible without any authentication. We recommend a horizontal logo with a transparent background that is left-aligned and vertically centered. The logo should have a minimum height of 32 pixels and an aspect ratio from to If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge downloads and shows the specified logo s on the new tab page.

Users can’t override or hide the logo s. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, Microsoft Edge will show no company logo or a Microsoft logo on the new tab page.

If you enable or don’t configure this policy, Microsoft Edge displays Microsoft News content on the new tab page. The user can choose different display options for the content, including but not limited to Content off, Content visible on scroll, Headings only, and Content visible.

Enabling this policy doesn’t force content to be visible – the user can continue to set their own preferred content position. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge does not display Microsoft News content on the new tab page, the Content control in the NTP settings flyout is disabled and set to ‘Content off’.

This policy only applies for Microsoft Edge local user profiles, profiles signed in using a Microsoft Account, and profiles signed in using Active Directory. To configure the Enterprise new tab page for profiles signed in using Azure Active Directory, use the M admin portal.

If you set this policy to false or don’t configure it, the default top site tiles remain visible. The recommended version of this policy does not currently work and functions exactly like the mandatory version. This policy determines the page that’s opened when new tabs are created including when new windows are opened.

It also affects the startup page if that’s set to open to the new tab page. This policy doesn’t determine which page opens on startup; that’s controlled by the RestoreOnStartup policy. It also doesn’t affect the home page if that’s set to open to the new tab page.

By default, Microsoft Edge displays quick links on the new tab page from user-added shortcuts and top sites based on browsing history. With this policy, you can configure up to three quick link tiles on the new tab page, expressed as a JSON object:. The ‘url’ field is required; ‘title’ and ‘pinned’ are optional.

If ‘title’ is not provided, the URL is used as the default title. If ‘pinned’ is not provided, the default value is false. Microsoft Edge presents these in the order listed, from left to right, with all pinned tiles displayed ahead of non-pinned tiles.

If the policy is set as mandatory, the ‘pinned’ field will be ignored and all tiles will be pinned. The tiles can’t be deleted by the user and will always appear at the front of the quick links list. If the policy is set as recommended, pinned tiles will remain in the list but the user has the ability to edit and delete them. Quick link tiles that aren’t pinned behave like default top sites and are pushed off the list if other websites are visited more frequently.

When applying non-pinned links via this policy to an existing browser profile, the links may not appear at all, depending on how they rank compared to the user’s browsing history. If you configure this policy, preloading the New tab page is enabled, and users can’t change this setting. If you don’t configure this policy, preloading is enabled and a user can change this setting.

If you enable or don’t configure this policy, Microsoft Edge displays quick links on the new tab page, and the user can interact with the control, turning quick links on and off. Enabling this policy does not force quick links to be visible – the user can continue to turn quick links on and off. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge hides quick links on the new tab page and disables the quick links control in the NTP settings flyout.

This policy is obsolete because the new version of the enterprise new tab page no longer requires choosing between different content types. Instead, the content that is presented to the user can be controlled via the Microsoft admin center.

When you set this policy to ‘News’, users will see the Microsoft News feed experience on the new tab page. When you set this policy to ‘Office’, users with an Azure Active Directory browser sign-in will see the Office feed experience on the new tab page.

Users with an Azure Active Directory browser sign-in are offered the Office new tab page feed experience, as well as the standard new tab page feed experience.

Users without an Azure Active Directory browser sign-in will see the standard new tab page experience. The browsing session will be restored as it was. Note that this option disables some settings that rely on sessions or that perform actions on exit such as Clear browsing data on exit or session-only cookies.

Disabling this setting is equivalent to leaving it not configured. Users will be able to change it in Microsoft Edge. Specify a list of websites to open automatically when the browser starts.

If you don’t configure this policy, no site is opened on startup. If you enable this policy, users are allowed to add and remove their own URLs to open when starting Edge while maintaining the admin specified mandatory list of sites specified by setting RestoreOnStartup policy to open a list of URLS and providing the list of sites in the RestoreOnStartupURLs policy.

This policy setting lets you configure whether to turn on Edge TyposquattingChecker. Edge TyposquattingChecker provides warning messages to help protect your users from potential typosquatting sites. By default, Edge TyposquattingChecker is turned on. If you don’t configure this policy, Edge TyposquattingChecker is turned on but users can choose whether to use Edge TyposquattingChecker.

If you enable or don’t configure this policy, users have the option of using an anonymous Microsoft service. This service provides automatic descriptions for unlabeled images users encounter on the web when they’re using a screen reader.

If you disable this policy, users can’t enable the Get Image Descriptions from Microsoft feature. When this feature is enabled, the content of images that need a generated description is sent to Microsoft servers to generate a description. No cookies or other user data is sent to Microsoft, and Microsoft doesn’t save or log any image content. Note: This policy doesn’t prevent the browser from navigating to any URL. Users can still navigate to any URL by using the search option in the default New Tab Page, or using any link that leads to a web search engine.

To ensure that users can only go to sites you expect, consider configuring the following policies in addition to this policy:. Enables the display of relevant Microsoft Search in Bing suggestions in the address bar’s suggestion list when the user types a search string in the address bar. If you enable or don’t configure this policy, users can see internal results powered by Microsoft Search in Bing in the Microsoft Edge address bar suggestion list.

If you disable this policy, users can’t see internal results in the Microsoft Edge address bar suggestion list. Starting with Microsoft Edge version 89, Microsoft Search in Bing suggestions will be available even if Bing isn’t the user’s default search provider. Lets you decide whether the ads transparency feature is enabled. This behavior only applies to the “balanced” mode of tracking prevention, and does not impact “basic” or “strict” modes. Your users’ tracking prevention level can be configured using the TrackingPrevention policy.

If you enable or don’t configure this policy, transparency metadata provided by ads will be available to the user when the feature is active. When the feature is enabled, Tracking Prevention will enable exceptions for the associated ad providers that have met Microsoft’s privacy standards. If you disable this policy, Tracking Prevention will not adjust its behavior even when transparency metadata is provided by ads.

Enables deleting browser history and download history and prevents users from changing this setting. Note that even with this policy is disabled, the browsing and download history aren’t guaranteed to be retained: users can edit or delete the history database files directly, and the browser itself may remove based on expiration period or archive any or all history items at any time.

If you enable this policy or don’t configure it, users can delete the browsing and download history. If you disable this policy, users can’t delete browsing and download history. Disabling this policy will disable history sync and open tab sync. If you enable this policy, don’t enable the ClearBrowsingDataOnExit policy, because they both deal with deleting data. If you enable both, the ClearBrowsingDataOnExit policy takes precedence and deletes all data when Microsoft Edge closes, regardless of how this policy is configured.

If you disable this policy, whenever the user performs an action that triggers a file selection dialog like importing favorites, uploading files, or saving links , a message is displayed instead, and the user is assumed to have clicked Cancel on the file selection dialog.

When the policy is set to enabled, pages are allowed to show popups while they’re being unloaded. When the policy is set to disabled or unset, pages aren’t allowed to show popups while they’re being unloaded.

This policy is obsolete because it was only intended to be a short-term mechanism to give enterprises more time to update their web content if and when it was found to be incompatible with the change to disallow synchronous XHR requests during page dismissal. It doesn’t work in Microsoft Edge after version This policy lets you specify that a page can send synchronous XHR requests during page dismissal. If you disable this policy or don’t configure this policy, pages aren’t allowed to send synchronous XHR requests during page dismissal.

Configure the list of URL patterns for sites that the browser will attempt to perform the Token Binding protocol with. If the server responds with a valid ServerHello response, the browser will create and send Token Binding messages on subsequent https requests. If you configure this policy, the list of configured URL patterns is excluded from tracking prevention.

If you don’t configure this policy, the global default value from the “Block tracking of users’ web-browsing activity” policy if set or the user’s personal configuration is used for all sites. Setting the policy on Microsoft Edge turns on the restricted sign-in feature in Google Workspace and prevents users from changing this setting. Users can only access Google tools using accounts from the specified domains.

This policy is based on the Chrome policy of the same name. If you don’t provide a domain name or leave this policy unset, users can access Google Workspace with any account.

If you enable this policy, a web service is used to generate url and search suggestions for network errors. If you disable this policy, no calls to the web service are made and a standard error page is shown. Specifically, there’s a Suggest similar pages when a webpage can’t be found toggle, which the user can switch on or off. Note that if you have enable this policy AlternateErrorPagesEnabled , the Suggest similar pages when a webpage can’t be found setting is turned on, but the user can’t change the setting by using the toggle.

If you disable this policy, the Suggest similar pages when a webpage can’t be found setting is turned off, and the user can’t change the setting by using the toggle. If you enable this policy Microsoft Edge treats PDF files as downloads and lets users open them with the default application. If you don’t configure this policy or disable it, Microsoft Edge will open PDF files unless the user disables it. If you set the policy to ‘RegularOnly’, it allows ambient authentication for Regular sessions only.

InPrivate and Guest sessions won’t be allowed to ambiently authenticate. Guest sessions won’t be allowed to ambiently authenticate. If you set the policy to ‘GuestAndRegular’, it allows ambient authentication for Guest and Regular sessions.

InPrivate sessions won’t be allowed to ambiently authenticate. In Microsoft Edge version 81 and later, if the policy is left not set, ambient authentication will be enabled in regular sessions only.

If you set this policy to false, or don’t set it, AppCache will follow Microsoft Edge’s defaults. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the specified locale. If the configured locale isn’t supported, ‘en-US’ is used instead. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, Microsoft Edge uses either the user-specified preferred locale if configured or the fallback locale ‘en-US’. This policy lets you configure whether users see a confirmation dialog before closing a browser window with multiple tabs.

This dialog asks users to confirm that the browser window can be closed. If you enable this policy, users will be presented with a confirmation dialog when closing a browser window with multiple tabs. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, a browser window with multiple tabs will close immediately without user confirmation.

Allows you to set whether a user is prompted to grant a website access to their audio capture device. If you enable this policy or don’t configure it the default setting , the user is prompted for audio capture access except from the URLs in the AudioCaptureAllowedUrls list.

These listed URLs are granted access without prompting. If you disable this policy, the user is not prompted, and audio capture is accessible only to the URLs configured in AudioCaptureAllowedUrls. Specify websites, based on URL patterns, that can use audio capture devices without asking the user for permission. Patterns in this list are matched against the security origin of the requesting URL.

If they match, the site is automatically granted access to audio capture devices. This policy controls the priority of the audio process on Windows. If this policy is enabled, the audio process will run with above normal priority. If this policy is disabled, the audio process will run with normal priority. If this policy is not configured, the default configuration for the audio process will be used. This policy is intended as a temporary measure to give enterprises the ability to run audio with higher priority to address certain performance issues with audio capture.

This policy will be removed in the future. If you disable this policy, the audio process will run unsandboxed and the WebRTC audio-processing module will run in the renderer process. This leaves users open to security risks related to running the audio subsystem unsandboxed.

If you don’t configure this policy, the default configuration for the audio sandbox will be used, which might differ based on the platform.

This policy is intended to give enterprises flexibility to disable the audio sandbox if they use security software setups that interfere with the sandbox. If you enable this policy, all supported datatypes and settings from the specified browser will be silently and automatically imported at first run.

During the First Run Experience, the import section will also be skipped. The browser data from Microsoft Edge Legacy will always be silently migrated at the first run, irrespective of the value of this policy.

If this policy is set to ‘FromDefaultBrowser’, then the datatypes corresponding to the default browser on the managed device will be imported. If the browser specified as the value of this policy is not present in the managed device, Microsoft Edge will simply skip the import without any notification to the user. If you set this policy to ‘DisabledAutoImport’, the import section of the first-run experience is skipped entirely and Microsoft Edge doesn’t import browser data and settings automatically.

If this policy is set to the value of ‘FromInternetExplorer’, the following datatypes will be imported from Internet Explorer:. If this policy is set to the value of ‘FromGoogleChrome’, the following datatypes will be imported from Google Chrome:.

If this policy is set to the value of ‘FromSafari’, user data is no longer imported into Microsoft Edge. This is due to the way Full Disk Access works on Mac. On macOS Mojave and above, it’s no longer possible to have automated and unattended import of Safari data into Microsoft Edge. Starting with Microsoft Edge version 83, if this policy is set to the value of ‘FromMozillaFirefox’, the following datatypes will be imported from Mozilla Firefox:.

If you want to restrict specific datatypes from getting imported on the managed devices, you can use this policy with other policies such as ImportAutofillFormData , ImportBrowserSettings , ImportFavorites , and etc. Specifies whether the AutoLaunch Protocols component should be enabled. This component allows Microsoft to provide a list similar to that of the AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins policy, allowing certain external protocols to launch without prompt or blocking certain protocols on specified origins.

By default, this component is enabled. Allows you to set a list of protocols, and for each protocol an associated list of allowed origin patterns, that can launch an external application without prompting the user.

The trailing separator should not be included when listing the protocol. If you configure this policy, a protocol will only be permitted to launch an external application without prompting by policy if:. If you don’t configure this policy, no protocols can launch without a prompt. This policy has no impact on automatically open values set by users via the download shelf If either condition is false, the download won’t automatically open by policy. If you don’t set this policy, all downloads where the file type is in AutoOpenFileTypes will automatically open.

This policy sets a list of file types that should be automatically opened on download. Note: The leading separator should not be included when listing the file type, so list “txt” instead of “.

By default, these file types will be automatically opened on all URLs. Files with types that should be automatically opened will still be subject to the enabled Microsoft Defender SmartScreen checks and won’t be opened if they fail those checks. File types that a user has already specified to automatically be opened will continue to do so when downloaded.

The user will continue to be able to specify other file types to be automatically opened. If you don’t set this policy, only file types that a user has already specified to automatically be opened will do so when downloaded. Enables the AutoFill feature and allows users to auto-complete address information in web forms using previously stored information. If you disable this policy, AutoFill never suggests or fills in address information, nor does it save additional address information that the user might submit while browsing the web.

If you enable this policy or don’t configure it, users can control AutoFill for addresses in the user interface. Note that if you disable this policy you also stop all activity for all web forms, except payment and password forms. No further entries are saved, and Microsoft Edge won’t suggest or AutoFill any previous entries. Enables Microsoft Edge’s AutoFill feature and lets users auto complete payment instruments like credit or debit cards in web forms using previously stored information.

If you enable this policy or don’t configure it, users can control AutoFill for payment instruments. If you disable this policy, AutoFill never suggests, fills, or recommends new payment Instruments. Additionally, it won’t save any payment instrument information that users submit while browsing the web. This feature helps protect against man-in-the-middle attacks by enforcing more secure connections, but users might experience more connection errors.

Note: The ‘UpgradeCapableDomains’ configuration requires a component list, and will not upgrade these connections if ComponentUpdatesEnabled is set to ‘Disabled’. Connection errors might occur more often.

The default setting, “Not configured” respects the current media autoplay settings and lets users configure their autoplay settings. Setting to “Enabled” sets media autoplay to “Allow”. All websites are allowed to autoplay media. Users can’t override this policy. Setting to “Disabled” sets media autoplay to “Limit”.

This limits websites that are allowed to autoplay media to webpages with high media engagement and active WebRTC streams. Prior to Microsoft Edge version 92, this would set media autoplay to “Block”. If you don’t configure this policy, the global default value from the AutoplayAllowed policy if set or the user’s personal configuration is used for all sites. Allows Microsoft Edge processes to start at OS sign-in and keep running after the last browser window is closed. In this scenario, background apps and the current browsing session remain active, including any session cookies.

An open background process displays an icon in the system tray and can always be closed from there. This policy is deprecated because we are moving to a new policy. It won’t work in Microsoft Edge as soon as version Lets you enable or disable background updates to the list of available templates for Collections and other features that use templates.

Templates are used to extract rich metadata from a webpage when the page is saved to a collection. If you enable this setting or the setting is unconfigured, the list of available templates will be downloaded in the background from a Microsoft service every 24 hours.

If you disable this setting the list of available templates will be downloaded on demand. This type of download might result in small performance penalties for Collections and other features. If you enable this policy, then a user can search on bing.

At the same time, the SafeSearch setting will be set to ‘Strict’ and can’t be changed by the user. If you don’t configure this policy, then the default experience will have ads in the search results on bing. SafeSearch will be set to ‘Moderate’ by default and can be changed by the user. You were experiencing an ad-free search experience on Microsoft Edge Legacy and want to upgrade to the new version of Microsoft Edge.

Block web page elements that aren’t from the domain that’s in the address bar from setting cookies. If you enable this policy, web page elements that are not from the domain that is in the address bar can’t set cookies. If you disable this policy, web page elements from domains other than in the address bar can set cookies. If you don’t configure this policy, third-party cookies are enabled but users can change this setting.

Allows users to create new profiles, using the Add profile option. If you enable this policy or don’t configure it, Microsoft Edge allows users to use Add profile on the Identity flyout menu or the Settings page to create new profiles. If you disable this policy, users cannot add new profiles from the Identity flyout menu or the Settings page. This policy controls the use of code integrity guard in the browser process, which only allows Microsoft signed binaries to load. Setting this policy to Audit or leaving the policy unset will enable audit mode for code integrity guard in the browser process.

Audit mode will emit logs to the event viewer under Security-Mitigations and CodeIntegrity providers when a binary is loaded after CIG was enabled that is not Microsoft signed. Setting this policy to Disabled will prevent the browser from enabling code integrity guard in the browser process.

This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, or Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management.

Enable the option to allow the use of guest profiles in Microsoft Edge. In a guest profile, the browser doesn’t import browsing data from existing profiles, and it deletes browsing data when all guest profiles are closed.

If you enable this policy or don’t configure it, Microsoft Edge lets users browse in guest profiles. Sets the ProcessExtensionPointDisablePolicy on Microsoft Edge’s browser process to block code injection from legacy third party applications. If you enable or don’t configure this policy, the ProcessExtensionPointDisablePolicy is applied to block legacy extension points in the browser process.

If you disable this policy, the ProcessExtensionPointDisablePolicy is not applied to block legacy extension points in the browser process. This has a detrimental effect on Microsoft Edge’s security and stability as unknown and potentially hostile code can load inside Microsoft Edge’s browser process. Only turn off the policy if there are compatibility issues with third-party software that must run inside Microsoft Edge’s browser process. Prevents Microsoft Edge from occasionally sending queries to a browser network time service to retrieve an accurate timestamp.

If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge will stop sending queries to a browser network time service. If you enable this policy or don’t configure it, Microsoft Edge will occasionally send queries to a browser network time service. Specify whether a user can sign into Microsoft Edge with their account and use account-related services like sync and single sign on.

To control the availability of sync, use the SyncDisabled policy instead. If you set this policy to ‘Disable’, make sure that you also set the NonRemovableProfileEnabled policy to disabled because NonRemovableProfileEnabled disables the creation of an automatically signed in browser profile. If both policies are set, Microsoft Edge will use the ‘Disable browser sign-in’ policy and behave as if NonRemovableProfileEnabled is set to disabled. If you set this policy to ‘Enable’, users can sign into the browser.

Signing into the browser doesn’t mean that sync is turned on by default; the user must separately opt-in to use this feature.

If you set this policy to ‘Force’, users must sign into a profile to use the browser. By default, this will allow the user to choose whether they want to sync to their account, unless sync is disabled by the domain admin or with the SyncDisabled policy. The default value of BrowserGuestModeEnabled policy is set to false. If you don’t configure this policy users can decide if they want to enable the browser sign-in option and use it as they see fit.

Configures browsing data lifetime settings for Microsoft Edge. This policy controls the lifetime of selected browsing data. This policy has no effect if Sync is enabled. The deletion of expired data will happen 15 seconds after the browser starts then every hour while the browser is running.

This policy does not affect which DNS servers are used: if, for example, the operating system is configured to use an enterprise DNS server, that same server would be used by the built-in DNS client. This policy is obsolete because it was a short-term mechanism to give enterprises more time to update their environments and report issues if they are found to be incompatible with the built-in certificate verifier.

If you enable or don’t configure the policy, Microsoft Edge will support the CORS non-wildcard request headers and behave as previously described. This policy is a temporary workaround for the new CORS non-wildcard request header feature. It’s intended to be removed in the future. Disables enforcement of Certificate Transparency requirements for a list of subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes.

This policy lets you disable Certificate Transparency disclosure requirements for certificate chains that contain certificates with one of the specified subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes. This allows certificates that would otherwise be untrusted because they were not properly publicly disclosed to still be used for Enterprise hosts. To disable Certificate Transparency enforcement when this policy is set, one of the following sets of conditions must be met:.

Unrecognized hash algorithms are ignored. The only supported hash algorithm at this time is “sha”. If you disable this policy or don’t configure it, any certificate that’s required to be disclosed via Certificate Transparency will be treated as untrusted if it’s not disclosed according to the Certificate Transparency policy. Disables enforcing Certificate Transparency requirements for a list of legacy certificate authorities Cas.

This allows certificates that would otherwise be untrusted because they were not properly publicly disclosed, continue to be used for enterprise hosts. In order for Certificate Transparency enforcement to be disabled, you must set the hash to a subjectPublicKeyInfo appearing in a CA certificate that is recognized as a legacy certificate authority CA. A legacy CA is a CA that has been publicly trusted by default by one or more operating systems supported by Microsoft Edge.

If you don’t configure this policy, any certificate that’s required to be disclosed via Certificate Transparency will be treated as untrusted if it isn’t disclosed according to the Certificate Transparency policy. This policy lets you not disclose certificates for the hostnames in the specified URLs via Certificate Transparency.

This lets you use certificates that would otherwise be untrusted, because they weren’t properly publicly disclosed, but it makes it harder to detect mis-issued certificates for those hosts. Because certificates are valid for a given hostname, independent of the scheme, port, or path, only the hostname part of the URL is considered.

Wildcard hosts are not supported. If you don’t configure this policy, any certificate that should be disclosed via Certificate Transparency is treated as untrusted if it’s not disclosed.

Microsoft Edge doesn’t clear the browsing data by default when it closes. Browsing data includes information entered in forms, passwords, and even the websites visited. If you enable this policy, all browsing data is deleted each time Microsoft Edge closes. Note that if you enable this policy, it takes precedence over how you configured DefaultCookiesSetting. If you disable or don’t configure this policy, users can configure the Clear browsing data option in Settings.

If you enable this policy, cached images and files will be deleted each time Microsoft Edge closes. If you don’t configure this policy, users can choose whether cached images and files are cleared on exit. If you disable this policy, don’t enable the ClearBrowsingDataOnExit policy, because they both deal with deleting data. Allow users to open files using the ClickOnce protocol. The ClickOnce protocol allows websites to request that the browser open files from a specific URL using the ClickOnce file handler on the user’s computer or device.

If you enable this policy, users can open files using the ClickOnce protocol. If you disable this policy, users can’t open files using the ClickOnce protocol. Instead, the file will be saved to the file system using the browser. If you don’t configure this policy, users with Microsoft Edge versions before Microsoft Edge 87 can’t open files using the ClickOnce protocol by default.

Disabling ClickOnce may prevent ClickOnce applications. Configure the list of URL patterns that specify which sites can use the clipboard site permission. Setting the policy lets you create a list of URL patterns that specify which sites can use the clipboard site permission. This doesn’t include all clipboard operations on origins that match the patterns.

For example, users will still be able to paste using keyboard shortcuts because this isn’t controlled by the clipboard site permission. Leaving the policy unset means DefaultClipboardSetting applies for all sites if it’s set. If it isn’t set, the user’s personal setting applies. Setting the policy lets you create a list of URL patterns that specify sites that can’t use the clipboard site permission.

List specific services and export targets that users can’t access in the Collections feature in Microsoft Edge. This includes displaying additional data from Bing and exporting collections to Microsoft products or external partners.

This ensures new favorites appear on the container as well. For security reasons, favorites sync is only possible from the host to the container and not the other way around. To ensure a unified list of favorites across the host and the container, we have disabled favorites management inside the container. Several customers are using WDAG in a specific configuration where they want to identify network traffic coming from the container.

Some of the scenarios for this are:. You can use the header to identify which traffic is through the container or the host using ApplicationGuardTrafficIdentificationEnabled. Extension support inside the container has been one of the top requests from the customers. Scenarios ranged from wanting to run ad-blockers inside the container to boost browser performance to having the ability to run custom home-grown extensions inside the container. Extension installs in the container is now supported, starting from Microsoft Edge version It’s also possible to manually install individual extensions inside the container from the extension store.

Manually installed extensions will only persist in the container when Allow Persistence policy is enabled. Some enterprise customers are deploying Application Guard with a specific use case where they need to identify web traffic coming out of a Microsoft Defender Application Guard container at the proxy level.

Starting with Stable Channel version 84, Microsoft Edge will support dual proxy to address this requirement. You can configure this functionality using the ApplicationGuardContainerProxy policy. Another user pain point is troubleshooting the Application Guard configuration on a device when a problem is reported.

One of these diagnostics is being able to check the URL trust based on the configuration on the user’s device. The next screenshot shows a multiple tab diagnostics page to help diagnose user reported issues on the device. Because the new version of Microsoft Edge updates itself independent of the Windows OS, there is no longer any dependency on container updates. The channel and version of the host Microsoft Edge is replicated inside the container.

One of the management solutions described in Software requirements. The following articles provide the information you need to install, configure, and test Application Guard with Microsoft Edge. IE mode is recommended to be deployed for a list of trusted internal sites, and Application Guard is for untrusted sites only.

No, the Application Guard feature is natively supported in Microsoft Edge. In Windows 10 Enterprise edition, version , users are able to download documents from the isolated Application Guard container to the host PC. This capability is managed by policy. In Windows 10 Enterprise edition, version , or Windows 10 Professional edition, version , it is not possible to download files from the isolated Application Guard container to the host computer.

Depending on your organization’s settings, employees can copy and paste images. If the extensions policy is enabled for MDAG in configuration, check if your extension requires Native Message Handling components, those extensions are not supported in the Application Guard container.
