>The Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2016, don’t include Microsoft Edge or many other Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. Systems running the LTSB operating systems do not support these apps because their services get frequently updated with new functionality. For customers who require the LTSB for specialized devices, we recommend using Internet Explorer 11.
## Minimum system requirements
Some of the components might also need additional system resources. Check the component's documentation for more information.

# Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge
> Applies to: Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile
Set up a policy setting once and then copy that setting onto many computers.
Microsoft Edge works with Group Policy and Microsoft Intune to help you manage your organization's computer settings. Group Policy objects (GPOs) can include registry-based Administrative Template policy settings, security settings, software deployment information, scripts, folder redirection, and preferences.
By using Group Policy and Intune, you can set up a policy setting once, and then copy that setting onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a GPO that is linked to a domain, and then apply all of those settings to every computer in the domain.
> [!NOTE]
> For more info about the tools you can use to change your Group Policy objects, see the Internet Explorer 11 topics, [Group Policy and the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=617921), [Group Policy and the Local Group Policy Editor](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=617922), [Group Policy and the Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=617923), and [Group Policy and Windows PowerShell](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=617924).
> Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
You can customize your organization’s browser settings in Microsoft Edge with Group Policy or Microsoft Intune, or other MDM service. When you do this, you set the policy once and then copy it onto many computers—that is, touch once, configure many. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a Group Policy Object (GPO) linked to a domain, and then apply those settings to every computer in the domain.
Other policy settings in Microsoft Edge include allowing Adobe Flash content to play automatically, provision a favorites list, set default search engine, and more. You configure a Group Policy setting in the Administrative Templates folders, which are registry-based policy settings that Group Policy enforces. Group Policy stores these settings in a specific registry location, which users cannot change. Also, Group Policy-aware Windows features and applications look for these settings in the registry, and if found the policy setting gets used instead of the regular settings.
**_You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor:_**
      *Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Microsoft Edge\\*
When you edit a Group Policy setting, you have the following configuration options:
• Enabled - writes the policy setting to the registry with a value that enables it.
• Disabled - writes the policy setting to the registry with a value that disables it.
• Not configured leaves the policy setting undefined. Group Policy does not write the policy setting to the registry and has no impact on computers or users.
Some policy settings have additional options you can configure. For example, if you want to set the default search engine, set the Start page, or configure the Enterprise Mode Site List, you would type the URL.

# Use Enterprise Mode to improve compatibility
> Applies to: Windows 10
If you have specific web sites and apps that you know have compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge, you can use the Enterprise Mode site list so that the web sites will automatically open using Internet Explorer 11. Additionally, if you know that your intranet sites aren't going to work properly with Microsoft Edge, you can set all intranet sites to automatically open using IE11.
Using Enterprise Mode means that you can continue to use Microsoft Edge as your default browser, while also ensuring that your apps continue working on IE11.
>[!NOTE]
>If you want to use Group Policy to set Internet Explorer as your default browser, you can find the info here, [Set the default browser using Group Policy]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=620714).
## Fix specific websites
Microsoft Edge doesn't support ActiveX controls, Browser Helper Objects, VBScript, or other legacy technology. If you have websites or web apps that still use this technology and need IE11, you can add them to the Enterprise Mode site list, using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager.
**To add sites to your list**
1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, click **Add**.<p>If you already have an existing site list, you can import it into the tool. After it's in the tool, the xml updates the list, checking **Open in IE** for each site. For info about importing the site list, see [Import your Enterprise Mode site list to the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618322).<p>![Enterprise Mode Site List Manager with Open in IE box](images/emie_open_in_ie.png)
2. Type or paste the URL for the website that’s experiencing compatibility problems, like *&lt;domain&gt;*.com or *&lt;domain&gt;*.com/*&lt;path&gt;* into the **URL** box. <p>You don’t need to include the `http://` or `https://` designation. The tool will automatically try both versions during validation.
3. Type any comments about the website into the **Notes about URL** box.<p>Administrators can only see comments while they’re in this tool.
4. Click **Open in IE** next to the URL that should automatically open in IE11.<p>The path within a domain can require a different compatibility mode from the domain itself. For example, the domain might look fine in the default IE11 browser, but the path might have problems and require the use of Enterprise Mode. If you added the domain previously, your original compatibility choice is still selected. However, if the domain is new, Enterprise Mode is automatically selected.
5. Click **Save** to validate your website and to add it to the site list for your enterprise.<p>If your site passes validation, it’s added to the global compatibility list. If the site doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the site or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway.
6. On the **File** menu, go to where you want to save the file, and then click **Save to XML**.<p>You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your Group Policy setting. For more info, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618952).
### Set up Microsoft Edge to use the Enterprise Mode site list
You must turn on the **Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List** Group Policy setting before Microsoft Edge can use the Enterprise Mode site list. This Group Policy applies to both Microsoft Edge and IE11, letting Microsoft Edge switch to IE11 as needed, based on the Enterprise Mode site list. For more info about IE11 and Enterprise Mode, see [Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=618377).
> **Note**<br>
> If there’s an .xml file in the cache container, IE waits 65 seconds and then checks the local cache for a newer version of the file from the server, based on standard caching rules. If the server file has a different version number than the version in the cache container, the server file is used and stored in the cache container.<p>If you’re already using a site list, enterprise mode continues to work during the 65 second wait; it just uses your existing site list instead of your new one.
**To turn on Enterprise Mode using Group Policy**
1. Open your Group Policy editor and go to the **Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Microsoft Edge\\Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List** policy.<p>Turning this setting on also requires you to create and store a site list.<p>![Local Group Policy Editor for using a site list](images/edge-emie-grouppolicysitelist.png)
2. Click **Enabled**, and then in the **Options** area, type the location to your site list.
3. Refresh your policy in your organization and then view the affected sites in Microsoft Edge.<p>The site shows a message in Microsoft Edge, saying that the page needs IE. At the same time, the page opens in IE11; in a new frame if it's not yet running, or in a new tab if it is.
**To turn on Enterprise Mode using the registry**
1. **To turn on Enterprise Mode for all users on the PC:** Open a registry editor, like regedit.exe and go to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode`.
2. Edit the `SiteList` registry key to point to where you want to keep your Enterprise Mode site list file. For example:<p>![Enterprise mode with site list in the registry](images/edge-emie-registrysitelist.png)
- **HTTP location**: *“SiteList”=”http://localhost:8080/sites.xml”*
- **Local network**: *"SiteList"="\\\network\\shares\\sites.xml"*
- **Local file**: *"SiteList"="file:///c:/Users/&#060;username&#062;/Documents/testList.xml"*
All of your managed devices must have access to this location if you want them to be able to access and use Enterprise Mode and your site list.
3. Refresh your policy in your organization and then view the affected sites in Microsoft Edge.<p>The site shows a message in Microsoft Edge, saying that the page needs IE. At the same time, the page opens in IE11; in a new frame if it's not yet running, or in a new tab if it is.
## Fix your intranet sites
You can add the **Send all intranet traffic over to Internet Explorer** Group Policy setting for Windows 10 so that all of your intranet sites open in IE11. This means that even if your employees are using Microsoft Edge, they will automatically switch to IE11 while viewing the intranet.
> **Note**<br>
> If you want to use Group Policy to set IE as the default browser for Internet sites, you can find the info here, [Set the default browser using Group Policy]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=620714).
**To turn on Sends all intranet traffic over to Internet Explorer using Group Policy**
1. Open your Group Policy editor and go to the `Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\Sends all intranet traffic over to Internet Explorer` setting.
![Local Group Policy Editor with setting to send all intranet traffic to IE11](images/sendintranettoie.png)
2. Click **Enabled**.
3. Refresh your policy in your organization and then view the affected sites in Microsoft Edge.<p>The site shows a message in Microsoft Edge, saying that the page needs IE. At the same time, the page opens in IE11; in a new frame if it's not yet running, or in a new tab if it is.

# Browser: Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11
**Microsoft Edge content applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 10 Mobile
**Internet Explorer 11 content applies to:**
- Windows 10
## Enterprise guidance
Microsoft Edge is the default browser experience for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. However, if you're running web apps that need ActiveX controls, we recommend that you continue to use Internet Explorer 11 for them. If you don't have IE11 installed anymore, you can download it from the Microsoft Store or from the [Internet Explorer 11 download page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=290956).
We also recommend that you upgrade to IE11 if you're running any earlier versions of Internet Explorer. IE11 is supported on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. So any legacy apps that work with IE11 will continue to work even as you migrate to Windows 10.
If you're having trouble deciding whether Microsoft Edge is good for your organization, you can take a look at this infographic about the potential impact of using Microsoft Edge in an organization.

### Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge takes you beyond just browsing to actively engaging with the web through features like Web Note, Reading View, and Cortana.
- **Web Note.** Microsoft Edge lets you annotate, highlight, and call things out directly on webpages.
- **Reading view.** Microsoft Edge lets you enjoy and print online articles in a distraction-free layout that's optimized for your screen size. While in reading view, you can also save webpages or PDF files to your reading list, for later viewing.
- **Cortana.** Cortana is automatically enabled on Microsoft Edge. Microsoft Edge lets you highlight words for more info and gives you one-click access to things like restaurant reservations and reviews, without leaving the webpage.
- **Compatibility and security.** Microsoft Edge lets you continue to use IE11 for sites that are on your corporate intranet or that are included on your Enterprise Mode Site List. You must use IE11 to run older, less secure technology, such as ActiveX controls.
### IE11
IE11 offers enterprises additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and modern standards support.
- **Backward compatibility.** IE11 supports 9 document modes that include high-fidelity emulations for older versions of IE.
- **Modern web standards.** IE11 supports modern web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and WebGL, which help to ensure today's modern websites and apps work just as well as your old, legacy websites and apps.
- **More secure.** IE11 was designed with security in mind and is more secure than older versions. Using security features like SmartScreen and Enhanced Protected Mode can help IE11 reduce your risk.
- **Faster.** IE11 is significantly faster than previous versions of Internet Explorer, taking advantage of network optimization and hardware-accelerated text, graphics, and JavaScript rendering.
- **Easier migration to Windows 10.** IE11 is the only version of IE that runs on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. Upgrading to IE11 on Windows 7 can also help your organization support the next generation of software, services, and devices.
- **Administration.** IE11 can use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) 11 or MSIs for deployment, and includes more than 1,600 Group Policies and preferences for granular control.

Configure Microsoft Edge to either show or hide the favorites bar on all pages. Microsoft Edge hides the favorites bar by default but shows the favorites bar on the Start and New tab pages. Also, by default, the favorites bar toggle, in Settings, is set to Off but enabled allowing users to make changes.
You can customize the favorites bar, for example, you can turn off features such as Save a Favorite and Import settings, and hide or show the favorites bar on all pages. Another customization you can make is provisioning a standard list of favorites, including folders, to appear in addition to the user’s favorites. If it’s important to keep the favorites in both IE11 and Microsoft Edge synced, you can turn on syncing where changes to the list of favorites in one browser reflect in the other.

# Interoperability and enterprise mode guidance
Microsoft Edge is the default browser experience for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. However, Microsoft Edge lets you continue to use IE11 for sites that are on your corporate intranet or included on your Enterprise Mode Site List. If you are running web apps that continue to use ActiveX controls, x-ua-compatible headers, or legacy document modes, you need to keep running them in IE11. IE11 offers additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and modern standards support.
>[!TIP]
> If you are running an earlier version of Internet Explorer, then we recommend upgrading to IE11, so any legacy apps continue to work correctly.
>If you are running an earlier version of Internet Explorer, we recommend upgrading to IE11, so that any legacy apps continue to work correctly.
**Technology not supported by Microsoft Edge**
- ActiveX controls
- Browser Heler Objects
- VBScript
- x-ua-compatible headers
- &lt;meta&gt; tags
- \<meta\> tags
- Legacy document modes
>[!TIP]
>You can also use Enterprise Mode with Microsoft Edge to transition only the sites that need these technologies to load in IE11. For info about Enterprise Mode and Edge, see [Use Enterprise Mode to improve compatibility](../emie-to-improve-compatibility.md).
If you have specific websites and apps that you know have compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge, you can use the Enterprise Mode site list so that the websites automatically open using Internet Explorer 11. Additionally, if you know that your intranet sites aren't going to work correctly with Microsoft Edge, you can set all intranet sites to open using IE11 automatically.
Using Enterprise Mode means that you can continue to use Microsoft Edge as your default browser, while also ensuring that your apps continue working on IE11.

# Security and privacy settings
# Security and privacy
Microsoft Edge is designed with improved security in mind, helping to defend people from increasingly sophisticated and prevalent web-based attacks against Windows. Because Microsoft Edge is designed like a Universal Windows app, changing the browser to an app, it fundamentally changes the process model so that both the outer manager process and the different content processes all live within app container sandboxes.
@ -15,11 +16,11 @@ Microsoft Edge runs in 64-bit not just by default, but anytime it’s running on
The value of running 64-bit all the time is that it strengthens Windows Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), randomizing the memory layout of the browser processes, making it much harder for attackers to hit precise memory locations. In turn, 64-bit processes make ASLR much more effective by making the address space exponentially larger and, therefore, more difficult for attackers to find sensitive memory components.

Thieves use things like _phishing_ attacks to convince someone to enter personal information, such as a banking password, into a website that looks like a legitimate bank, but isn't. Attempts to identify legitimate websites through the HTTPS lock symbol and the EV Cert green bar have met with only limited success since attackers are too good at faking legitimate experiences for many people to notice the difference.

All browsers are faced with threats like these, so it's important that we explore how Microsoft Edge addresses these threats to help make browsing the web a safer experience.

|---|---|
| **[Windows Hello](http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/17/making-windows-10-more-personal-and-more-secure-with-windows-hello/)** | Microsoft Edge is the first browser to natively support Windows Hello to authenticate the user and the website with asymmetric cryptography technology, powered by an early implementation of the [Web Authentication (formerly FIDO 2.0 Web API) specification](http://w3c.github.io/webauthn/). |

| **Microsoft SmartScreen** | Defends against phishing by performing reputation checks on sites visited and blocking any sites that are thought to be a phishing site. SmartScreen also helps to defend against installing malicious software, drive-by attacks, or file downloads, even from trusted sites. Drive-by attacks are malicious web-based attacks that compromise your system by targeting security vulnerabilities in commonly used software and may be hosted on trusted sites. |
| **Certificate Reputation system** | Collects data about certificates in use, detecting new certificates and flagging fraudulent certificates automatically, and sends the data to Microsoft. The systems and tools in place include<ul><li>Certificate Reputation system: Protects users from fraudulent certificates.</li><li>Bing Webmaster Tools (for developers): Reports fake certificates directly to Microsoft.</li></ul> |
| **Microsoft EdgeHTML and modern web standards** | Microsoft Edge uses Microsoft EdgeHTML as the rendering engine. This engine focuses on modern standards letting web developers build and maintain a consistent site across all modern browsers. It also helps to defend against hacking through these security standards features:<ul><li>Support for the W3C standard for [Content Security Policy (CSP)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/content-Security-Policy), which can help web developers defend their sites against cross-site scripting attacks.</li><li> Support for the [HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/HSTS/) security feature (IETF-standard compliant). HSTS helps ensure that connections to important sites, such as to your bank, are always secured.</li></ul><p>**NOTE:** Both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 support HSTS. |

**A:** Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2016, don't include Microsoft Edge or many other Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. These apps and their services are frequently updated with new functionality and can't be supported on systems running LTSB operating systems. For customers who require the LTSB for specialized devices, we recommend using Internet Explorer 11.

**Q: Is Adobe Flash supported in Microsoft Edge?**
**A:** Currently, Adobe Flash is supported as a built-in feature of Microsoft Edge on devices running the desktop version of Windows 10. In July 2017, Adobe announced that Flash will no longer be supported after 2020. We will phase out Flash from Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, culminating in the removal of Flash from Windows entirely by the end of 2020. This process began already for Microsoft Edge with [Click-to-Run for Flash](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2016/12/14/edge-flash-click-run/) in the Windows 10 Creators Update.
**A:** Currently, Adobe Flash is supported as a built-in feature of Microsoft Edge on devices running the desktop version of Windows 10. In July 2017, Adobe announced that Flash will no longer be supported after 2020. With Adobe no longer supporting Flash after 2020, Microsoft has started to phase out Flash from Microsoft Edge by adding the [Configure the Adobe Flash Click-to-Run setting](#configure-the-adobe-flash-click-to-run-setting) group policy giving you a way to control the list of websites that have permission to run Adobe Flash content.
To learn more about Microsoft’s plan for phasing out Flash from Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, see [The End of an Era — Next Steps for Adobe Flash]( https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/07/25/flash-on-windows-timeline/#3Bcc3QjRw0l7XsZ4.97) (blog article).

**Q: Does Microsoft Edge support ActiveX controls or BHOs like Silverlight or Java?**
**A:** No, ActiveX controls and BHOs such as Silverlight or Java are not supported in Microsoft Edge. The need for ActiveX controls has been significantly reduced by modern web standards, which are more interoperable across browsers. We are working on plans for an extension model based on the modern web platform in Microsoft Edge. We look forward to sharing more details on these plans soon. Not supporting legacy controls in Microsoft Edge provides many benefits including better interoperability with other modern browsers, as well as increased performance, security, and reliability.
**A:** No. Microsoft Edge does not support ActiveX controls and BHOs such as Silverlight or Java. If you are running web apps that continue to use ActiveX controls, x-ua-compatible headers, or legacy document modes, you need to keep running them in IE11. IE11 offers additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and modern standards support.

**A:** Microsoft Edge has been designed and built to showcase Windows 10 features like Cortana, and is built on top of the Universal Windows Platform. Although we don’t have any plans to bring Microsoft Edge to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 at this time, you can test Microsoft Edge with older versions of Internet Explorer using [free virtual machines](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/).

Microsoft Edge kiosk mode works with assigned access, which lets IT administrators create a tailored browsing experience designed for kiosk devices. Assigned access prevents users from accessing the file system and running other apps from Microsoft Edge, such as the address bar or downloads. For example, you can configure Microsoft Edge to load only a single URL in full-screen mode when you configure digital/interactive signage on a single-app kiosk device.
In addition to digital/interactive signage, you can configure Microsoft Edge for public browsing either on a single and multi-app kiosk device. Public browsing runs a multi-tab version of InPrivate browsing mode with limited functionality to run in full-screen mode or a normal version of Microsoft Edge.

Public browsing runs a multi-tab version of InPrivate browsing mode with limited functionality to run in full-screen mode or normal browsing of Microsoft Edge.
Both digital/interactive signage and public browsing help protect the user’s data by running Microsoft Edge with InPrivate browsing. In single-app public browsing, there is both an ‘End Session’ button that users click to end the browsing session or that resets the session after a specified time of user inactivity. The idle timer is set to 5 minutes by default, but you can choose your own value.
