How to Allow Pop-up Window to Be Displayed in Microsoft Edge

This practical guide walks through how to allow pop-up window to be displayed in Microsoft Edge, explains the main requirements, and highlights common issues that may appear along the way.

How to enable pop-ups on every web page in Edge

First, launch the Microsoft Edge browser on your Windows 10 PC or Mac. In any tab, you click the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to open the system menu. In the list of options that appear, click ' Settings '.

In the Settings tab, look to the left menu and click on ' Cookies and Site Permissions '.

Then, scroll down to the ' Site Permissions ' section and click ' Pop-Ups and Redirects '.

In the ' Pop-Ups and Redirects ' settings, click the switch next to the ' Block (recommended) ' option to turn it off. This will allow pop-ups to display freely on all the websites you visit in Edge.

How to enable pop-ups on specific websites in Edge

If you only want to allow pop-ups to be shown on specific websites you visit in Edge, just do the following setup.

First, launch Microsoft Edge and click the three-dot menu button in the top right corner of the screen, then select ' Settings '. Next, click on ' Cookies and Site Permissions ' in the right menu and select ' Pop-Ups and Redirects '.

This time, we won't make any changes to the ' Block (recommended) ' option. Instead, keep scrolling to the bottom of the page, click the ' Add ' button in the ' Allow ' section .

Immediately a dialog box will appear on the screen, enter or paste the URL of the website you want to allow pop-ups to appear, then click ' Add '.

Repeat this process with any other websites that you want to allow pop-ups to appear on.

Alternatively, you can also go to Settings > Cookies and Permissions , then look under ' Recent Activity '. Click the arrow next to the address of the website for which you want to allow pop-ups.

On that site's ' Site Permissions ' page, scroll down and set the ' Pop-Ups and Redirects ' option to ' Allow '.

Your changes will be saved automatically, so once done, just close the Settings tab. You will now see a pop-up window showing up on all of the above allowed sites.
