Description
This setting lets you specify whether to block the installation of the Browser Helper Object (BHO) that enables redirecting incompatible sites from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge for sites that require a modern browser. If you enable this policy, the BHO isn't installed. If it's already installed, it will be uninstalled on the next Microsoft Edge update. If you disable or don't configure this policy, the BHO is installed. The BHO is required for incompatible site redirection to occur; however, whether redirection occurs or not is also controlled by 'RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerRedirectMode' (Redirect incompatible sites from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge). For more information about this policy, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2141715.
