Allow DNS queries for more DNS record types
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 140, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This policy controls whether Microsoft Edge can query more DNS record types when making insecure (non-Secure DNS) requests. If this policy is unset or set to Enabled, more record types such as HTTPS (DNS type 65) may be queried in addition to A (DNS type 1) and AAAA (DNS type 28). If this policy is set to Disabled, Microsoft Edge will only query A and AAAA record types for insecure DNS requests. This setting doesn't affect DNS queries made via Secure DNS, which may always use more record types. Note: This is a temporary policy and is planned for removal in a future version of Microsoft Edge. After removal, Microsoft Edge will always be able to query more DNS types during insecure requests.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: AdditionalDnsQueryTypesEnabled
Enabled: AdditionalDnsQueryTypesEnabled = 1
Disabled: AdditionalDnsQueryTypesEnabled = 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.
