How to enable IE mode on Microsoft Edge

Question

How to enable IE mode on Microsoft Edge

Sandeep Gupta 26

I have tried the below steps:

Open Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.
Click the Settings and More (ellipsis) button on the top-right corner.
Select the Settings option.
Click on Default browser.
Under the “Internet Explorer compatibility” section, turn on the “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode” toggle switch.
Click the Restart button.

I am not seeing "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode” toggle switch in Edge browser.

Microsoft Edge Version 91.0.864.54 (Official build) (64-bit)

Is there any way to enable it as my website is only supported in IE?

I appreciate any pointer in this regard.

Thank you

While YuZhou is 100% Correct I have been using that method and it has worked for me for about 18 months. I would like to confirm that using the Directions you have posted he have also worked for me recently. The other thing that you might want to confirm if that Your Internet Options are configured and that the Wild Card for your Trusted Sites for the Domain of your Site is set. also there may be some configuration if your page as some sort of Active X control that you Org is dependent on.

You may have already fix this but. I have been having this issue and came across this thread. and wanted to put some more info for the next person.

Hi all - I am having the same issue and I keep thinking I must be missing something. I have tried this process on two machines - one on our corporate LAN, the other is not. Both machines have all the latest patches.
Security in Trusted Sites is Low; and I have tried with Require server verification (https) for all sites checked on and off. I added all of the necessary sites to Internet Explorer mode pages in case that might change the behaviour - but nothing.
Do you have any other suggestions I could try?

May be you can try below line of code just after the HEAD tag, to work on the EDGE browser.

We have done the same thing on our website https://seowebchecker.com/ , and it is working.

Lifesaver! This ^ is the only thing that helped us prevent our issues in the dev tool console window from coming up when using Edge and Chrome. Thanks - everything working now with minimal effort!

Hi @Sandeep Gupta

From this article, we can find the reason we can't see Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer:

If you are on a device managed by your organization you will NOT see the option to Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer under edge://settings/defaultbrowser to allow Internet Explorer mode through the More tools menu.

In this situation, you can set your site to be opened in IE mode by configuring IE mode policies. For the detailed steps, you can refer to this doc.
There're two steps required to configure IE mode:

Hi @Sandeep Gupta

You can use this video to guide you from scratch on how to enable IE mode. If your environment is AD domain based, there is also series on how to implement that using group policy.

Hi All,

Not sure but I was working on the same issue yesterday and found this URL useful:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list

I have gone through the docs and if test the solution in my lab environment then would surely share in it..
