Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Edge Website Typo Protection settings User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Edge Website Typo Protection settings Description
This policy setting lets you decide whether users can override the Edge Website Typo Protection warnings about potential typosquatting websites. If you enable this setting, users can't ignore Edge Website Typo Protection warnings, and they're blocked from continuing to the site. If you disable or don't configure this setting, users can ignore Edge Website Typo Protection warnings and continue to the site. This only takes effect when TyposquattingCheckerEnabled policy isn't set or is set to enabled. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management, or macOS instances that are managed via MDM or joined to a domain via MCX.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: PreventTyposquattingPromptOverride
Enabled: PreventTyposquattingPromptOverride = 1
Disabled: PreventTyposquattingPromptOverride = 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.
