Policy
Force networking code to run in the browser process (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OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 83. This policy doesn't work because it was only intended to be a short-term mechanism to give enterprises more time to migrate to third party software that doesn't depend on hooking networking APIs. Proxy servers are recommended over Label-Switched Paths (LSPs) and Win32 API patching. This policy forces networking code to run in the browser process. This policy is disabled by default. If enabled, users are open to security issues when the networking process is sandboxed.
