Trusted Sites In Edge Browser

Configuration of Security Zones is performed the same way as it has always been-- you can use the SiteToZone Assignment list in Group Policy, or you can modify the registry using the Internet Control Panel's Security tab.

Having said that, what do you hope to accomplish by updating the Zone settings? Unlike in legacy Internet Explorer, the new Microsoft Edge makes very limited use of Windows Security Zones. The full details can be found in my blog post:

Hi Eric,

This may not be the way to ask about this but I thought I would try. We received the email yesterday saying ie11 will be phased out by June 2022. I have 2 sites that I use to access security cameras and one banking site that use ie11.

All I want to do is use the Edgeie11 compatibility to continue to view these sites in Edge. It tells me to install the LTSwebcomponents.exe but that fails. Can you suggest a place to find tips on how to get this add on to work in Edge? Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm being blocked from downloading most software, because my Windows 10 security thinks it could harm my computer. How can I get it to allow me to download it?

I'm not sure what you mean by "Windows 10 security thinks"; do you have a screenshot, or the exact URLs and text of any blocking screens?

Notably, if you're talking about Edge saying that certain downloaded file types are dangerous, you can use the ... menu on the blocked download to keep it. (Notably, if you turn off SmartScreen, you'll see more blocks, not fewer). See https://textslashplain.com/2021/05/19/download-blocking-by-file-type/ for details.

The updates to the Edge browser now require that you go into the control panel and choose Settings and then click on the Network & Internet icon. You will not find an Internet Options so you will need to go to the Search and type in Internet Options. This will give you the pop up window that allows you to add the trusted site information.

Hope this helps some.
