Policy
Enable stricter treatment for mixed content (obsolete)
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 84. This policy doesn't work because it was only intended to be a short-term mechanism to give enterprises more time to update their web content if it was found to be incompatible with stricter mixed content treatment. This policy controls the treatment for mixed content (HTTP content in HTTPS sites) in the browser. If you set this policy to true or not set, audio and video mixed content is automatically upgraded to HTTPS (that is, the URL will be rewritten as HTTPS, without a fallback if the resource isn't available over HTTPS), and a 'Not Secure' warning is shown in the URL bar for image mixed content. If you set the policy to false, auto upgrades are disabled for audio and video, and no warning is shown for images. This policy doesn't affect other types of mixed content other than audio, video, and images.
