How to enforce safesearch on Google chrome and Internet explorer through group policy
Hi
We have windows 7 and windows 10 PC in our network. Recently when students searches particular image on google search, it returns with unsuitable materials that is unsuitable for a school environment.
We use Google chrome and Internet explorer and Is there any Group policy to turn the safe search on the students GPO.
I noticed very interesting, please see the attached picture PC -1. On the windows 7 PC s when imaged is searched on the Google chrome or Internet Explorer the "SafeSearch on is not on.
But at the same time if I go to a windows 10 PC (attached PC-2 image) and open Google chrome or Microsoft edge it says "SafeSearch" is on and it doesn’t bring any inappropriate images.
Our filtering system is BLOXX and is hosted outside our network and not sure from where the "SafeSearch on" settings are picked from. Please help where could be the problem, any help to resolve this will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I am wondering , how SafeSearch is on by default and working fine on a windows 10 PC without , without creating a GPO or adding CNAME via DNS
it is on by default, when recently installed, this can be changed by users, also windows 10 has an option for safe browsing included,

I did on the chrome and it dosent work and still user able to off the safeSearch
Rather use a CNAME via DNS
