(Edge) Turn Off Protected Mode in Internet Explorer Mode

Question

I use UiPath to automate processes in Oracle, but the browser needs to have the Protect mode off...

The option to turn off the protected mode is not available!

I need to turn off protected mode, how can I do that?

Hi @彥崴 張 ,

In Windows 11, Protected Mode settings are missing in Internet Options, but you still can modify them via registry editor. These settings are stored in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones. Under Zones is a subkey for each zone, named numerically:

0 is the Local Machine zone
1 is the Intranet zone
2 is the Trusted Sites zone
3 is the Internet zone
4 is the Restricted Sites zone

Under each numerically-named key, you can create or set a REG_DWORD value named 2500 to control whether Protected Mode is enabled for the zone. Setting that value to 0 enables Protected Mode; a setting of 3 disables it.

So, to disable Protected Mode for the Internet zone, set this entry to 3:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3\2500

Protected mode is turned off by default for trusted sites. Can you add the site you're using to Trusted sites in the Internet Options control panel (inetcpl.cpl)?
