Description

Online revocation checks don't provide a significant security benefit and are disabled by default. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge performs soft-fail, online OCSP/CRL checks. "Soft fail" means that if the revocation server can't be reached, the certificate is considered valid. If you disable the policy or don't configure it, Microsoft Edge can't perform online revocation checks.

Configure 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.
