Description
In order to run webpages in IE mode, within Edge, there are two processes to do. First is to config Edge, then, per web page you need to set IE mode.
Process
To Config (do once)
- Open Edge
- Enter URL edge://settings/defaultBrowser
- For the option ‘Allow Sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) choose ‘Allow’
- To complete click the blue ‘Restart’ button
To Use (repeat for every url you need)
- Go to the desired webpage in Edge
- Click the settings & more options (three dots) top right
- Choose ‘Reload in Internet Explorer mode’
- This will cause the webpage to reload in IE mode
- You can set that this webpage always opens in IE mode (well for 30 days at least) by clicking the IE icon in the URL as below, and then set the slider ‘Open this page in internet Explorer mode next time’
- This will add the url to the Internet Explorer compatibility list as below. Note this only stays set for 30 days, so its worth saving the settings URL on our toolbar for reference ( edge://settings/defaultBrowser).
Notes
URL’s added to compatibility list expire after 30 days
