DisableDefaultBrowserAgent

Prevent the default browser agent from taking any actions. Only applicable to Windows; other platforms don't have the agent.

The browser agent is a Windows-only scheduled task which runs in the background to collect and submit data about the browser that the user has set as their OS default. More information is available in the Default Browser Agent article.

Values

• Set to true to stop the Windows default browser agent running.
• Set to false to leave the agent running. This is the same as not setting the policy.
