since edge stable version 108 automatically open downloaded rdp files is no longer possible. the option "always open files of this type" is greyed out. auto open rdp files works with edge 107...

MicrosoftStephenFeltmate DrDuzi Hi! I've heard from our developer, RDP was added to the download_file_types.asciipb file with a danger_level of ALLOW_ON_USER_GESTURE.
If users are getting a warning message that RDP files might be dangerous, enterprises can leverage the ExemptFileTypeDownloadWarnings policy to flag RDP downloads from specific domains as safe.
We are working on updating our documentation with this information. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips.
With the ExemptFileTypeDownloadWarnings we have no more alert message but "always open files of this type" is still grey out? Does someone has a solution please?
I think we can use AutoOpenAllowedForURLs and AutoOpenFileTypes but I think in this case it will be restrictive and the user will not have the possibility to add other extension or URL.

MichaelOliv Set Computer Configuration Policy: Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge
Policies:
List of file types that should be automatically opened on download: Enabled, "List of file types that should be automatically opened on download: rdp".
URLs where AutoOpenFileTypes can apply: Enabled, "URLs where AutoOpenFile Types can apply: [URL]".
I'm still testing this one myself. We haven't rolled this out yet; still have to test on 108. Let me know if it works for you.- I need to test after holidays. But with this I think user will not have the possibility to add extension to open automatically.
