How to open XML files with Edge in Windows 10

WJ ZH 0

I used to open XML data files with IE8 on my Windows XP system. However, after switching to Windows 10, I tried to open these files with Microsoft Edge and was only presented with a blank page. What can I do to open these files with Edge?

Hi @WJ ZH,

You can navigate to this location: Edge Settings>Default browser>Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) and set this option to "Allow". Then, you can click the three dots in the upper right corner of Edge, and you will see "Reload in Internet Explorer mode". You can try to open the xml file in this mode to see if it can be opened normally.

After following your instructions, when I open the file, it displays the XML code instead of the actual content I need.

Hi @WJ ZH,

You can use IEChooser to open Internet Explorer DevTools to check if there are any errors when accessing the website with IE mode, as follows:

In Windows, open the Run dialog. For example, press Windows logo key + R.

Enter %systemroot%\system32\f12\IEChooser.exe, and then click OK.

In IEChooser, select the entry for the IE mode tab.

You can also try adjusting the "Document mode" under emulation to see if it loads normally. In addition, you can also try loading other XML files with Edge (IE mode) to see if they can be loaded normally.
