UiAutomationProviderEnabled

Enables the UI Automation accessibility framework provider in Google Chrome for use by accessibility tools. This policy is supported in Google Chrome for a one-year transition period to allow enterprise administrators to control the deployment of the browser's UI Automation accessibility framework provider. Accessibility and other tools that use the UI Automation accessibility framework to interoperate with the browser may require updates to function properly with the browser's UI Automation provider. Administrators can use this policy to temporarily disable the browser's UI Automation provider (thereby reverting to the old behavior) while they work with vendors to provide updates to impacted tools. When set to false, Google Chrome only enables its Microsoft Active Accessibility provider. Accessibility and other tools that use the newer UI Automation accessibility framework to interoperate with the browser will communicate with it by way of a compatibility shim in Microsoft® Windows®. When set to true, Google Chrome enables its UI Automation provider in addition to its Microsoft Active Accessibility provider. Accessibility and other tools that use the newer UI Automation accessibility framework to interoperate with the browser will communicate directly with it. When left unset, the variations framework in <ph name="PRODUCT_NAME">$1<ex>Google Chrome</ex></ph> is used to enable or disable the provider. Support for this policy setting will end in <ph name="PRODUCT_NAME">$1<ex>Google Chrome</ex></ph> 136.
