Bypass Edge Flags Blocked by Administrator on Windows 11 Easily

If you're looking to solve the issue of the Edge flags page being blocked by the administrator, which will prevent you from changing certain hidden settings, rest assured that our solutions can fix it.

What can I do if Edge flags are blocked by an administrator?​

1. Changing Group Policy settings​

• Press Windows key + R and type gpedit.msc. Click OK.
  
• Next, navigate to the following path:Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/
• In the right pane, select the URLBlocklist policy.
• If flags or edge pages are on the list, remove them or disable the policy.

For this solution to work, you must install Microsoft Edge for Business. In case of using the regular version, do this instead:

• Open Group Policy Editor again.
• Next, go toAdministrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge
  
• Double-click on Prevent access to the about:flags page in Microsoft Edge.
• Set the policy to Not Configured or Disabled and save changes.

2. Modifying the registry​

• Press the Windows key + R and type regedit. Click OK.
  
• Next, navigate toSOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\URLBlocklist
• In the right pane, you should see several entries. Locate the one that mentions flags page or edge, and remove them.

This path is available only if you have Microsoft Edge for Business installed. For the regular version use the following steps:

• Open Registry Editor and go toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main
• Double-click the PreventAccessToAboutFlagsInMicrosoftEdge in the right pane.
  
• Set the Value data to 0 and save changes.
  

For these methods to work, you’ll need to have administrative access.
