Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 96, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
From Microsoft Edge version 96, navigations that switch between Internet Explorer mode and Microsoft Edge include form data. If you enable this policy, you specify which data types are included in navigations between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer mode. If you disable or don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the new behavior of including form data in navigations that change modes. To learn more, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2174004. Policy options mapping: * IncludeNone (0) = Do not send form data or headers * IncludeFormDataOnly (1) = Send form data only * IncludeHeadersOnly (2) = Send additional headers only * IncludeFormDataAndHeaders (3) = Send form data and additional headers Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

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.
