SmartScreen turned off -> Java Webstart JNLP Files are marked as "can harm your computer"
- Aug 12, 2020
Starting with Edge v85 (currently in beta) there is a new policy "ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings" available which solves this issue:
See Documentation:
I can confirm this works with
Edge Beta 85.0.564.30
Edge Dev 86.0.594.1
BUT be aware: The text in the documentation is correct, but the given Samples in the documentation are currently wrong!
Citing the Sample in the docs:SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings\1
= {'domains': ['https://contoso.com', 'contoso2.com'], 'file_extension': 'jnlp'}
The single quotes in the examples are wrong, only double quotes are accepted and work! So this should be corrected to:
= {"domains": ["https://contoso.com", "contoso2.com"], "file_extension": "jnlp"}To check my JNLP JavaWebStart Sample-Link https://hitco.at/java-webstart-demo/ successfully working, use following registry-Keys:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings] "1"="{\"domains\": [\"https://*.hitco.at\", \"https://hitco.at\"], \"file_extension\": \"jnlp\"}"
