Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Advanced Page User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Advanced Page Description
This policy setting allows you to manage whether users can download and install self-installing program files (non-Internet Explorer components) that are registered with Internet Explorer (such as Macromedia and Java) that are required in order to view web pages as intended. If you enable this policy setting, non-Internet Explorer components will be automatically installed as necessary. If you disable this policy setting, users will be prompted when non-Internet Explorer components would be installed. If you do not configure this policy setting, non-Internet Explorer components will be automatically installed as necessary.

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.
