IE mode - Disabling the Pop-up Blocker not working

Hi,

I'm using Edge 90.0.818.66(64bit) on Windows 10 1803  x64. 

I set IE mode and created an XML file,  a list of user defined websites and i found it works well.

But the thing is, whenever i access one of the sites for IE mode that opens a pop-up page, 

the browser shows " pop-up blocked" with red icon. 

i tried changing several options, like disabling the pop-up blocker , allowing pop-ups for the websites, but it's not working at all. 

 

Has anyone else run into this issue and resolved it?

Thanks.

    Grace1580 Hello!  Have you tried adding the specific site to the IE "Pop-up allow list" Group Policy?  I believe the IE Group Policy should apply to the site when opened in IE mode in MS Edge.  

     

    Thanks!

      Kelly_Y   Thanks for your reply.
      Like your tips, I added domains to this setting but they never appear, even after a gpupdate /force and a reboot. So i searched for the related popup issue of GP and, fortunately, i finally found a solution and the following guid works great in Edge.
      https://docs.microsoft.com/ko-kr/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#popupsallowedforurls


      * By the way, i realized that an url containing "%" (it is part of some parameters encoded by the "escape()" javascript function) ignores the above policy. When i removed the character, the pop up windows open well. i don't know why, but i think it might be resolved if i upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10.

       

      Thanks for your help! 🙂
