Description

This setting lets you specify whether to block the install 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 will not be installed. If it is already installed it will be uninstalled on the next Microsoft Edge update. If this policy is not configured or is disabled, the BHO will be 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
