This policy is deprecated, use the ''WindowOcclusionEnabled' (Enable Window Occlusion)' policy instead. It won't work in Microsoft Edge version 92. Enables native window occlusion in Microsoft Edge. If you enable this policy, to reduce CPU and power consumption Microsoft Edge detects when a window is covered by other windows, and will suspend work painting pixels. If you disable this policy Microsoft Edge won't detect when a window is covered by other windows. If you don't configure this policy, occlusion detection is enabled.
