# Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge
> 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.

# Change history for Microsoft Edge
Discover what's new and updated in the Microsoft Edge for both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.
#### [2018](#tab/2018/)
## October 2018
The Microsoft Edge team introduces new group policies and MDM settings for Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. The new policies let you enable/disable
full-screen mode, printing, favorites bar, saving history. You can also prevent certificate error overrides, and configure the New Tab page, Home button, and startup options, as well as manage extensions.
We have discontinued the **Configure Favorites** group policy, so use the [Provision Favorites](available-policies.md#provision-favorites) policy instead.
>>You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:

# Change history for Microsoft Edge
Discover what's new and updated in the Microsoft Edge for both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.
#### [2018](#tab/2018/)
## October 2018
The Microsoft Edge team introduces new group policies and MDM settings for Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. The new policies let you enable/disable
full-screen mode, printing, favorites bar, saving history. You can also prevent certificate error overrides, and configure the New Tab page, Home button, and startup options, as well as manage extensions.
We have discontinued the **Configure Favorites** group policy, so use the [Provision Favorites](available-policies.md#provision-favorites) policy instead.
>>You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:
>>

# Browser experience
Not only do the other Microsoft Edge group policies enhance the browsing experience, but we also want to mention some of the other and common browsing experiences. For example, printing web content is a common browsing experience. However, if you want to prevent users from printing web content, Microsoft Edge has a group policy that allows you to prevent printing. The same goes for Pop-up Blocker; Microsoft Edge has a group policy that lets you prevent pop-up windows or let users choose to use Pop-up Blocker. You can use any one of the following group policies to continue enhancing the browsing experience for your users.
You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:

# Browser experience
Not only do the other Microsoft Edge group policies enhance the browsing experience, but we also want to mention some of the other and common browsing experiences. For example, printing web content is a common browsing experience. However, if you want to prevent users from printing web content, Microsoft Edge has a group policy that allows you to prevent printing. The same goes for Pop-up Blocker; Microsoft Edge has a group policy that lets you prevent pop-up windows or let users choose to use Pop-up Blocker. You can use any one of the following group policies to continue enhancing the browsing experience for your users.
You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:

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.

# 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, we recommend upgrading to IE11, so that any legacy apps continue to work correctly.
**Technology not supported by Microsoft Edge**
- ActiveX controls
- Browser Helper Objects
- VBScript
- x-ua-compatible headers
- \<meta\> tags
- Legacy document modes
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
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.
Microsoft Edge runs in 64-bit not just by default, but anytime it’s running on a 64-bit operating system. Because Microsoft Edge doesn’t support legacy ActiveX controls or 3rd-party binary extensions, there’s no longer a reason to run 32-bit processes on a 64-bit system.
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.
For more details on the security features in Microsoft Edge, see [Help protect against web-based security threats](#help-protect-against-web-based-security-threats) below.
You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:

## Help protect against web-based security threats
While most websites are safe, some sites have been intentionally designed to steal sensitive and private information or gain access to your system’s resources. You can help protect against threats by using strong security protocols to ensure against such threats.
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.
Another method thieves often use _hacking_ to attack a system through malformed content that exploits subtle flaws in the browser or various browser extensions. This exploit lets an attacker run code on a device, taking over a browsing session, and perhaps the entire device.
Microsoft Edge addresses these threats to help make browsing the web a safer experience.

| **[Windows Hello](https://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 early implementation of the [Web Authentication (formerly FIDO 2.0 Web API) specification](https://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).

| **Code integrity and image loading restrictions** | Microsoft Edge content processes support code integrity and image load restrictions, helping to prevent malicious DLLs from loading or injecting into the content processes. Only [properly signed images](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/11/17/microsoft-edge-module-code-integrity/) are allowed to load into Microsoft Edge. Binaries on remote devices (such as UNC or WebDAV) can’t load. |
| **Memory corruption mitigations** | Memory corruption attacks frequently happen to apps written in C or C++ don’t provide safety or buffer overflow protection. When an attacker provides malformed input to a program, the program’s memory becomes corrupt allowing the attacker to take control of the program. Although attackers have adapted and invented new ways to attack, we’ve responded with memory safety defenses, mitigating the most common forms of attack, including and especially [use-after-free (UAF)](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.html) vulnerabilities. |
| **Memory Garbage Collector (MemGC) mitigation** | MemGC replaces Memory Protector and helps to protect the browser from UAF vulnerabilities. MemGC frees up memory from the programmer and automating it. Only freeing memory when the automation detects no references left pointing to a given block of memory. |
| **Control Flow Guard** | Attackers use memory corruption attacks to gain control of the CPU program counter to jump to any code location they want. Control Flow Guard, a Microsoft Visual Studio technology, compiles checks around code that performs indirect jumps based on a pointer. Those jumps get restricted to function entry points with known addresses only making attacker take-overs must more difficult constraining where an attack jumps. |

Microsoft Edge doesn’t support 3rd party binary extensions, so there is no reason for it to run outside of the container, making Microsoft Edge more secure. |
| **Extension model and HTML5 support** | Microsoft Edge does not support binary extensions because they can bring code and data into the browser’s processes without any protection.

# Managing group policy ADMX files
>Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
ADMX files, which are registry-based policy settings provide an XML-based structure for defining the display of the Administrative Template policy settings in the Group Policy Object Editor. The ADMX files replace ADM files, which used a different markup language.
>[!NOTE]
>The administrative tools you use—Group Policy Object Editor and Group Policy Management Console—remain mostly unchanged. In the majority of situations, you won’t notice the presence of ADMX files during your day-to-day Group Policy administration tasks.
Unlike ADM files, ADMX files are not stored in individual GPOs by default; however, this behavior supports less common scenarios. For domain-based enterprises, you can create a central store location of ADMX files accessible by anyone with permission to create or edit GPOs. Group Policy tools continue to recognize other earlier ADM files you have in your existing environment. The Group Policy Object Editor automatically reads and displays Administrative Template policy settings from both the ADMX and ADM files.

Some situations require a better understanding of how ADMX files are structured and the location of the files. In this article, we show you how ADMX files are incorporated when editing Administrative Template policy settings in a local or domain-based Group Policy object (GPO).

# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for IT Pros
>Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
## How can I get the next major version of Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium?
In December 2018, Microsoft [announced](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/06/microsoft-edge-making-the-web-better-through-more-open-source-collaboration/#8jv53blDvL6TIKuS.97) our intention to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop, to create better web compatibility for our customers and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers. You can get more information at the [Microsoft Edge Insiders site](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/).
## What’s the difference between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11? How do I know which one to use?
Microsoft Edge is the default browser for all Windows 10 devices. It’s built to be highly compatible with the modern web. For some enterprise web apps and a small set of sites that were built to work with older technologies like ActiveX, [you can use Enterprise Mode](emie-to-improve-compatibility.md) to automatically send users to Internet Explorer 11.
For more information on how Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge work together to support your legacy web apps, while still defaulting to the higher security and modern experiences enabled by Microsoft Edge, see [Legacy apps in the enterprise](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/04/07/legacy-web-apps-enterprise/#RAbtRvJSYFaKu2BI.97).
## Does Microsoft Edge work with Enterprise Mode?
[Enterprise Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/enterprise-mode-overview-for-ie11) helps you run many legacy web applications with better backward compatibility. You can configure both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer to use the same Enterprise Mode Site List, switching seamlessly between browsers to support both modern and legacy web apps.
## How do I customize Microsoft Edge and related settings for my organization?
You can use Group Policy or Microsoft Intune to manage settings related to Microsoft Edge, such as security settings, folder redirection, and preferences. See [Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/group-policies/) for a list of policies currently available for Microsoft Edge and configuration information. Note that the preview release of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge might not include management policies or other enterprise functionality; our focus during the preview is modern browser fundamentals.
## Is Adobe Flash supported in Microsoft Edge?
Adobe Flash is currently supported as a built-in feature of Microsoft Edge on PCs running Windows 10. In July 2017, Adobe announced that Flash support will end after 2020. With this change to Adobe support, we’ve started to phase Flash out of Microsoft Edge by adding the [Configure the Adobe Flash Click-to-Run setting group policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/available-policies#configure-the-adobe-flash-click-to-run-setting) - this lets you control which websites can run Adobe Flash content.
To learn more about Microsoft’s plan for phasing Flash out of 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).
## Does Microsoft Edge support ActiveX controls or BHOs like Silverlight or Java?
No. Microsoft Edge doesn’t support ActiveX controls and BHOs like Silverlight or Java. If you’re running web apps that 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 standards support.
## How often will Microsoft Edge be updated?
In Windows 10, we’re delivering Windows as a service, updated on a cadence driven by quality and the availability of new features. Microsoft Edge security updates are released every two to four weeks, while bigger feature updates are included in the Windows 10 releases on a semi-annual cadence.
## How can I provide feedback on Microsoft Edge?
Microsoft Edge is an evergreen browser - we’ll continue to evolve both the web platform and the user interface with regular updates. To send feedback on user experience, or on broken or malicious sites, use the **Send Feedback** option under the ellipses icon (**...**) in the Microsoft Edge toolbar.
## Will Internet Explorer 11 continue to receive updates?
We’re committed to keeping Internet Explorer a supported, reliable, and safe browser. Internet Explorer is still a component of Windows and follows the support lifecycle of the OS on which it’s installed. For details, see [Lifecycle FAQ - Internet Explorer](https://support.microsoft.com/help/17454/). While we continue to support and update Internet Explorer, the latest features and platform updates will only be available in Microsoft Edge.
## How do I find out what version of Microsoft Edge I have?
In the upper right corner of Microsoft Edge, click the ellipses icon (**...**), and then click **Settings**. Look in the **About Microsoft Edge** section to find your version.
## What is Microsoft EdgeHTML?

Microsoft Edge does not use a shared folder by default but downloads book files to a per-user folder for each user. With this policy, you can configure Microsoft Edge to store books from the Books Library to a default, shared folder in Windows, which decreases the amount of storage used by book files. When you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge downloads books to a shared folder after user action to download the book to their device, which allows them to remove downloaded books at any time. For this policy to work correctly, you must also enable the **Allow a Windows app to share application data between users** group policy. Also, the users must be signed in with a school or work account.

Microsoft Edge shows the Address bar drop-down list and makes it available by default, which takes precedence over the Configure search suggestions in Address bar policy. We recommend disabling this policy if you want to minimize network connections from Microsoft Edge to Microsoft service, which hides the functionality of the Address bar drop-down list. When you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge also disables the _Show search and site suggestions as I type_ toggle in Settings.

Microsoft Edge does not clear the browsing data on exit by default, but users can configure the _Clear browsing data_ option in Settings. Browsing data includes information you entered in forms, passwords, and even the websites visited. With this policy, you can configure Microsoft Edge to clear the browsing data automatically each time Microsoft Edge closes.

# Troubleshoot Microsoft Edge
## Microsoft Edge and IPv6
We are aware of the known issue with Microsoft Edge and all UWP-based apps, such as Store, Mail, Feedback Hub, and so on. It only happens if you have disabled IPv6 (not recommended), so a temporary workaround is to enable it.
## Microsoft Edge hijacks .PDF and .HTM files
## Citrix Receiver in Microsoft Edge kiosk mode
If you want to deliver applications to users via Citrix through Microsoft Edge, you must create the kiosk user account and then log into the account to install Citrix Receiver BEFORE setting up assigned access.
1. Create the kiosk user account.
2. Log into the account.
3. Install Citrix Receiver.

# Use Windows PowerShell to manage group policy
Windows PowerShell supports group policy automation of the same tasks you perform in Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) for domain-based group policy objects (GPOs):
- Maintain GPOs (GPO creation, removal, backup, and import)
- Associate GPOs with Active Directory service containers (group policy link creation, update, and removal)
- Set permissions on GPOs
- Modify inheritance flags on Active Directory organization units (OUs) and domains
- Configure registry-based policy settings and group policy preferences registry settings (update, retrieval, and removal)
- Create starter GPOs

# Web Application Compatibility lab kit
>Updated: October, 2017
Upgrading web applications to modern standards is the best long-term solution to ensure compatibility with today’s web browsers, but using backward compatibility can save time and money. Internet Explorer 11 has features that can ease your browser and operating system upgrades, reducing web application testing and remediation costs. On Windows 10, you can standardize on Microsoft Edge for faster, safer browsing and fall back to Internet Explorer 11 just for sites that need backward compatibility.
The Web Application Compatibility Lab Kit is a primer for the features and techniques used to provide web application compatibility during a typical enterprise migration to Microsoft Edge. It walks you through how to configure and set up Enterprise Mode, leverage Enterprise Site Discovery, test web apps using the F12 developer tools, and manage the Enterprise Mode Site List.
The Web Application Compatibility Lab Kit includes:
- A pre-configured Windows 7 and Windows 10 virtual lab environment with:
- Windows 7 Enterprise Evaluation

# Web Application Compatibility lab kit
>Updated: October, 2017
Upgrading web applications to modern standards is the best long-term solution to ensure compatibility with today’s web browsers, but using backward compatibility can save time and money. Internet Explorer 11 has features that can ease your browser and operating system upgrades, reducing web application testing and remediation costs. On Windows 10, you can standardize on Microsoft Edge for faster, safer browsing and fall back to Internet Explorer 11 just for sites that need backward compatibility.
The Web Application Compatibility Lab Kit is a primer for the features and techniques used to provide web application compatibility during a typical enterprise migration to Microsoft Edge. It walks you through how to configure and set up Enterprise Mode, leverage Enterprise Site Discovery, test web apps using the F12 developer tools, and manage the Enterprise Mode Site List.
The Web Application Compatibility Lab Kit includes:
- A pre-configured Windows 7 and Windows 10 virtual lab environment with:
- Windows 7 Enterprise Evaluation
- Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation (version 1607)
- Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
- Enterprise Site Discovery Toolkit
- A "lite" lab option to run the lab on your own Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating system
- A step-by-step lab guide
- A web application compatibility overview video
- A white paper and IT Showcase studies
