Hello,
One website prompts for Silverlight in EDGE
Added the URL to "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)" but getting the same in EDGE.
Adding the website in the below format does not prompt Silverlight. But it shows a blank page.
<site url="XXXYYYZZZZ.com/ ">
<compat-mode>IE7</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
Kindly help how this can be solved.

Microsoft Silverlight has reached the end of support on October 12, 2021. However, I've found this blog talking about the Silverlight prompt issue. Please check the link here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/rpomeroy/why-do-i-keep-getting-prompted-to-install-silverlight-on-some-websites

Website prompts blank page with below Enterprise Settings.
<site url="fornecedores.***********.com. "> <compat-mode>IE11</compat-mode> <open-in>IE11</open-in> </site></site-list>
Please let me know how this can be fixed

Can you access this site in IE? Since it is a blank page in IE mode, there must be some error messages in the console. You can useIEChooserfor debugging. For reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-faq#how-can-i-debug-my-legacy-application-while-using-ie-mode-on-microsoft-edge
Also, I've noticed the "Not secure" alert. Could you please click on it for more information? -
