I am testing the Enterprise Mode Site List which is being deployed through GPO. I am running Microsoft Edge 86.0.622.51 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
I have a certain website declared in the list to use the IE11 Engine and it appears in edge://compat as such.
If I open Edge immediately and go to this website, it will indeed open in IE11 mode. However, it will not open in IE11 mode if I let Edge sit idle for a few minutes and load the page again. In this circumstance, I can often get it to load in IE11 mode by simply closing the tab and reopening the page again.
Has anyone come across this behavior or know a fix?
Is there anyway to troubleshoot why Edge is decidedly not opening this page in IE11 some of the time?

Hi @AMH08 ,
I can reproduce the issue on the same Edge version but it works well with Edge Dev 88.0.673.0 on my side. So it might be an issue with Edge 86.0.622.51.
To make things more clear, I want to confirm something with you:
Could you please run edge://compat/iediagnostic in Edge and provide the screenshot of the result? How do you set the Enterprise Mode Site List?
I also find a similar thread and you can refer to the solution in it to see if it can solve your issue. Please inform us the result after you trying.
Regards,
Yu Zhou
I have the Enterprise Mode Site List set through Group Policy.
Currently, I am testing with a setting change in Edge:
Settings
New tab page
Disable "Preload the new tab page for a faster experience"
When this is disabled, I have yet to see Edge fail to load a site in IE when appropriate.
@AMH08 , I also tried with disabling "Preload the new tab page for a faster experience" and it seems to work.
You can also put this workaround as an asnwer and mark it as an accepted answer. It can help other community members in future in similar kind of issues. Thanks for your understanding.
I have tested for a day. It appears that setting "Preload the new tab page for a faster experience" to disabled under Settings > New tab page will allow IE mode to trigger consistently.
