Hi,I'm using ieDriverserver.exe to run ie mode in Edge.I meet a problem.
For all sites ,It displays the following messages in info bars.

"You're using an unsupported command-ine flag: --ie-mode-force. This poses stability and security risks."
"All sites in this tab will be opened in Internet Explorer mode."

It seems that the iedriverserver use the --ie-mode-force in default.
Is there anyway to disable the --ie-mode-force in Edge?
I wondered if there is some settings in group policy or registry that can disable --ie-mode-force options in Edge?

Any help appreciated

    Hi @samaliy li

    That's not a problem, that's how automating IE mode in Edge works.

    As you are launching the Edge browser in IE mode, it will display the information bar with that message. If you disable --ie-mode-force in Edge, how can IE mode work? So I think you can't disable --ie-mode-force when automating IE mode, this conflicts with how IE mode works.
