Information

Set whether websites can show pop-up windows. Pop-ups can be allowed on all websites ('AllowPopups') or blocked on all sites ('BlockPopups').

If this policy is configured, pop-up windows are blocked by default, and users can change this setting.

Policy options mapping:
- AllowPopups (1) = Allow all sites to show pop-ups.
- BlockPopups (2) = Do not allow any site to show pop-ups.

Solution

Set the policy value for 'Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Content settings/Default pop-up window setting' to 'Enabled' with the option value set to 'Do not allow any site to show pop-ups'.
