What it does

This policy setting defines whether a reference to an object is accessible when the user navigates within the same domain or to a new domain. If you enable this policy setting, an object reference is no longer accessible when navigating within or across domains for Internet Explorer processes. If you disable this policy setting, an object reference is retained when navigating within or across domains for Internet Explorer processes. If you do not configure this policy setting, an object reference is no longer accessible when navigating within or across domains for Internet Explorer processes.

What it writes

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry key: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_OBJECT_CACHING
When enabled: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_OBJECT_CACHING\(Reserved) = "1"; Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_OBJECT_CACHING\explorer.exe = "1"; Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_OBJECT_CACHING\iexplore.exe = "1"

Why it needs changes for Intune

Policy references a Windows supportedOn definition.
ADMX-INTUNE-WINDOWS-SUPPORTEDON-REFERENCE

In Intune

No native CSP; import the ADMX (needs changes first).

From Microsoft's Policy CSP DDF files (DDF v2 Files, February 2026), read 18 Oct 2026.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
