Allow pages with Cache-Control: no-store header to enter back/forward cache
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 123, 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 a page with Cache-Control: no-store header can be stored in back/forward cache. The website setting in this header may not expect the page to be restored from back/forward cache since some sensitive information could still be displayed after the restoration even if it's no longer accessible. If you enable or don't configure this policy, the page with Cache-Control: no-store header is restored from back/forward cache unless the cache eviction is triggered (for example, when there's HTTP-only cookie change to the site). If you disable this policy, the page with Cache-Control: no-store header isn't stored in back/forward cache.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: AllowBackForwardCacheForCacheControlNoStorePageEnabled
Enabled: AllowBackForwardCacheForCacheControlNoStorePageEnabled = 1
Disabled: AllowBackForwardCacheForCacheControlNoStorePageEnabled = 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.
