Enable keyboard focusable scrollers (obsolete)
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 128-138, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 138. This policy provides a temporary opt-out for the new keyboard focusable scrollers behavior. When this policy is Enabled or unset, scrollers without focusable children are keyboard focusable by default. When this policy is Disabled, scrollers aren't keyboard focusable by default. This policy is a temporary workaround. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 139, this policy is obsolete.

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.
