ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox policy no longer works in Edge Dev and Canary
Hi there, We have the ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox policy enabled so that folks can have the browser remember their preference for frequently-used protocol handler links. It looks...
Hi Andrew,
This policy to show the checkbox was recently restricted to only work from secure (i.e. https) pages. I suspect that you are expecting to see the checkbox from a non-secure page and that it is not showing up.
Can you confirm?
This change was made as part of a broader set of changes to the opt-out checkbox, including:
- The checkbox now applies per-origin. So if you select the checkbox because you tried to launch skype: from sharepoint.com, that combination will skip the prompt in the future, but other origins will still see the prompt when launching skype: until opted out.
- The checkbox will be turned on by default for all users in an upcoming release, so that the group policy is no longer needed. It will continue to be possible to ensure the checkbox is never shown by explicitly disabling the policy though.

Not the solution I prefer, but it looks like as a workaround I can just throw the page on my IE Mode list. No popups at all.
