In the end we managed to get around this by blocking JavaScript on the URL "file:///*" and pushing that as a group policy to students. Nothing else has broken yet...

I'll look into both of these. I'd rather not have a blanket ban on local files being opened in Edge/Chrome, but if that ends up being to only way to do it, so be it

How would you go about this? I can block Edge urls with a group policy but I'm not to sure how I would go about blocking based on tab name.

Hi Apologies if this is in the wrong place. Recently we've found that students have been accessing a Minecraft port called Eaglercraft (https://eaglercaft.com), we've blocked all links to it online but have found out that all the students need is a HTML file downloaded from the site to be able run the entire thing in a browser offline. Does anyone have any idea how we could go about blocking this file? My go-to was Applocker but as this file isn't technically an executable file Applocker doesn't detect it and so we can't block its hash. Thanks in advance

Hey The school I work at have just purchased a handful of Surface laptops running Windows 11 SE for exam use. I need to find a way of locking these down so that students using them can only access a text editor (with no spellcheck or autocorrect) and nothing else but this is proving to be a pain, mostly as the various solutions I've come across online require Powershell and Windows 11 SE can't run Powershell; it just gives an error (I am an admin on the machine so I have full permissions to run all programs). My current solution is to set the PC's up in Kiosk mode with access to the Edge browser only. The Edge browser can only access a Microsoft Form that has a single question and the students can type their answer in the response box as if it were a text editor. This form is tied to a Power Automate Flow that takes the question response and converts it to TXT file that saves to OneDrive (at the moment mine while I'm testing this solution but can be pointed to a different OneDrive account). I'm not 100% convinced with this setup so I'd like to get peoples thoughts and suggestions. Also, if you have any experience setting up/managing Windows 11 SE on Intune I'd be interested in hearing how easy you've found it.
