Windows - How can I skip the pop-up to launch the Schoolyear application on managed PCs?

To start the Schoolyear application, students will launch the locally installed application from the onboarding page of Schoolyear. Students will see the pop-up below and need to click "open".

For managed PCs where Schoolyear is already installed, you can apply a registry change that allows you to skip this step. Schoolyear will then open automatically instead of the student receiving this pop-up and having to click open.

Instructions to skip the pop-up

To skip the pop-up, you need to make a registry change regarding the "AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins" of the browser used. Below are two examples for Edge and Chrome, in which the Protocol and allowed origins are filled in. 

Production environment

Browser: Policy
Google Chrome 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins"="[{\"protocol\":\"schoolyear-exams\",\"allowed_origins\":[\"https://exams.schoolyear.app\"]}]"
Microsoft Edge 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins"="[{\"protocol\":\"schoolyear-exams\",\"allowed_origins\":[\"https://exams.schoolyear.app\"]}]"

 

Beta environment

Browser: Policy
Google Chrome 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins"="[{\"protocol\":\"schoolyear-exams-preview\",\"allowed_origins\":[\"https://beta.exams.schoolyear.app\"]}]"
Microsoft Edge 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins"="[{\"protocol\":\"schoolyear-exams-preview\",\"allowed_origins\":[\"https://beta.exams.schoolyear.app\"]}]"
