Method 1: Using the YouTube Settings
The YouTube Restricted Mode option can be found in the YouTube site settings. You can enable or disable this option with or without an account logged in. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, then the option will appear in the account’s context menu. However, if you are not logged in, then the option can be found in the Settings (three dots) context menu. Follow the below steps to enable or disable the YouTube Restricted Mode in Microsoft Edge:
Method 2: Using the Registry Editor
The Windows Registry is another method to configure a specific setting in any application. If you tried the Local Group Policy Editor method, then your Registry will already have a configured value. However, if you are using this without using any other methods, then you will need to create the missing key and value for the setting. The setting can be configured in both the Current Machine and Current User hives. The path will be the same for both, only the hives will be different. We have also included the registry backup step in the following steps. You can use it to create a registry backup for safety before making any new changes. If you don’t want to create a backup, then skip that particular step.
Method 3: Using the Local Group Policy Editor
The Local Group Policy Editor is another method for configuring the YouTube Restricted Mode. They have included the policy setting for YouTube restriction in Group Policy Editor. It also included three different options when you enable it. Depending on your choice, it will change the setting for YouTube. This setting is only available in the latest policy files. If you already have the latest policy files for the latest Microsoft Edge, then skip downloading the files. Note: This method will not work for Windows 10 Home users. That is because the Group Policy Editor isn’t available in the Windows 10 Home edition operating system.
