In the screenshot below, is it possible to set this setting via GPO? Or do end users have to set this themselves inside the browser?

With the Edge release Version 102.0.1245.30: May 31 it seems that an option must be chosen here to still work with the Enterprise Mode Site List for sites that we want to open in IE11. I know this won't exist much longer but we need to keep it till 15June.

    I found the answer to this. The GPO setting that needs edited is Redirect incompatible sites from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#redirectsitesfrominternetexplorerredirectmode

    This puts an entry in the box of Never or Incompatible.... 0 for Never 1 for the Incompatible...... option

    This resolved the issue for us, it seems like 102.0.1245.30: May 31 needs an answer in that box to continue to work with the Site Mode List

    Documentation on it all just seems backwards of what is trying to be achieved. Additionally the fact that we never saw this issue till this Edge update is a concern.
