Enable Printing LPAC Sandbox
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 129, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Printing User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Printing Description
Setting this policy to Enabled or leaving it unset enables the LPAC Sandbox for printing services when the system configuration supports it. Setting this policy to Disabled has a detrimental effect on Microsoft Edge's security because services used for printing might run in a weaker sandbox configuration. Only turn this policy off if there are compatibility issues with third party software that prevent printing services from operating correctly inside the LPAC Sandbox.

Disabled: PrintingLPACSandboxEnabled = 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.
