This policy setting determines whether scripted windows are automatically displayed. If you enable this policy setting, scripted windows are displayed. If you disable this policy setting, the user must choose to display any scripted windows by using the Notification bar. If you do not configure this policy setting, the user can enable or disable the Notification bar behavior.

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.
