Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 101, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This policy enables 'Save page as' functionality in Internet Explorer mode. Users can use this option to save the current page in the browser. When a user reopens a saved page, it's loaded in the default browser. If you enable this policy, the "Save page as" option is clickable in "More tools". If you disable or don't configure this policy, users can't select the "Save page as" option in "More tools". Note: To make the "Ctrl+S" shortcut work, users must enable the Internet Explorer policy, namely 'Enable extended hot key in Internet Explorer mode'. To learn more about Internet Explorer mode, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2094210
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: InternetExplorerModeEnableSavePageAs
Enabled: InternetExplorerModeEnableSavePageAs = 1
Disabled: InternetExplorerModeEnableSavePageAs = 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.
