Configure ShadowStack crash rollback behavior (obsolete)

OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge version 109.

Supported versions

  • On Windows since 95, until 109

Description

This policy is deprecated because it's intended to serve only as a short-term mechanism to give enterprises more time to update their environments and report issues if they are found to be incompatible with Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. It won't work in Microsoft Edge as soon as version 109.

Microsoft Edge includes a Hardware-enforced Stack Protection security feature. This feature may result in the browser crashing unexpectedly in cases that do not represent an attempt to compromise the browser's security.

Using this policy, you may control the behavior of the Hardware-enforced Stack Protection feature after a crash triggered by this feature is encountered.

Set this policy to 'Disable' to disable the feature.

Set this policy to 'DisableUntilUpdate' to disable the feature until Microsoft Edge updates next time.

Set this policy to 'Enable' to keep the feature enabled.

Policy options mapping:

  • Disable (0) = Disable Hardware-enforced Stack Protection

  • DisableUntilUpdate (1) = Disable Hardware-enforced Stack Protection until the next Microsoft Edge update

  • Enable (2) = Enable Hardware-enforced Stack Protection
