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! 🙂

Using "popupsallowedforurls" does not make any difference. Pop-ups ar still blocked on te listed sites.
