  • Device

Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting specifies whether active content links in trusted assistance content are rendered. By default, the Help viewer renders trusted assistance content with active elements such as ShellExecute links and Guided Help links.

If you enable this policy setting, active content links are not rendered. The text is displayed, but there are no clickable links for these elements.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default behavior applies (Help viewer renders trusted assistance content with active elements).

Tip

This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to Enabling a policy.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.
