# Blocking Edge Add-ons and Chrome Extensions on Windows laptops

|| The setting below is required for Myndr to work properly!
To prevent students from installing all kinds of add-ons or extensions in their browser themselves, you can disable this. With Intune this is fairly easy to set up.

In the Intune admin center, go to:

|| Devices > Windows > Configuration profiles > ➕ Create > ➕ New policy
For **Platform**, select **Windows 10 and later**. For **Profile type**, select **Settings catalog** and click **Create** at the bottom.

Give the new profile a name, e.g. "Block extensions", and click **Next** at the bottom.

Click **+ Add settings**
Type "extensions" in the search bar and click **Search**.
Click **Google Google Chrome Extensions**. A list of results appears; tick the following 2:
✅ **Configure extension installation blocklist**
✅ **Configure extension installation blocklist (User)**

Now click **Microsoft Edge\Extensions**. A new list of results appears; tick the following 2:
✅ **Control which extensions cannot be installed**
✅ **Control which extensions cannot be installed (User)**

Now click the cross at the top right of the Search button.

Then set all toggles to **Enabled** and type an asterisk (*) in each of the 4 input fields.

Click **Next** at the bottom, and click **Next** again at Scope tags

Under "Included groups", click **Add groups** and select the student group(s).

Click **Next**, check the settings and click **Create**

Intune will now roll out this setting to the student accounts. From now on, these accounts can no longer use add-ons or extensions unless they have been explicitly installed from Intune.
