Enable automatic HTTPS upgrades
Verified with Google Chrome — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome Description
Google Chrome attempts to upgrade some navigations from HTTP to HTTPS, when possible. This policy can be used to disable this behavior. If set to "true" or left unset, this feature will be enabled by default. The separate HttpAllowlist policy can be used to exempt specific hostnames or hostname patterns from being upgraded to HTTPS by this feature. See also the HttpsOnlyMode policy.

Software\Policies\Google\Chrome Value name: HttpsUpgradesEnabled
Enabled: HttpsUpgradesEnabled = 1
Disabled: HttpsUpgradesEnabled = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
