Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management Description
This policy setting allows you to manage whether the listed processes respect add-on management user preferences (as entered into Add-on Manager) or policy settings. By default, only Internet Explorer processes use the add-on management user preferences and policy settings. This policy setting allows you to extend support for these user preferences and policy settings to specific processes listed in the process list. If you enable this policy setting and enter a Value of 1, the process entered will respect the add-on management user preferences and policy settings. If you enter a Value of 0, the add-on management user preferences and policy settings are ignored by the specified process. The Value Name is the name of the executable. If a Value Name is empty or the Value is not 0 or 1, the policy setting is ignored. Do not enter Internet Explorer processes in this list because these processes always respect add-on management user preferences and policy settings. If the All Processes policy setting is enabled, the processes configured in this policy setting take precedence over that setting. If you do not configure this policy, processes other than the Internet Explorer processes will not be affected by add-on management user preferences or policy settings (unless "All Processes" is enabled).
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl Value name: ListBox_Support_FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEMENT
Enabled: ListBox_Support_FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEMENT = 1
Disabled: ListBox_Support_FEATURE_ADDON_MANAGEMENT = 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.
