Policy overview

Key metadata and intent for this policy.

Category
Microsoft Edge
Supported on
Microsoft Edge version 149, Windows 7 or later

Supported OS tags: Windows7

This policy controls whether background fetch requests from Service Workers are restricted. If a feature that downloads files in the background is affected, this policy may be relevant. If you enable this policy or don't configure it, the restriction is active, and background fetch requests from Service Worker contexts may be blocked. If you disable this policy, the restriction is bypassed, allowing Service Workers to make background fetch requests. This policy is temporary and will be removed after Microsoft Edge version 152.
