After update to this version IEMode no longer works. It shows "Internet explorer stopped working" error dialog, starts normal IE and shows text: "To open this page in Internet Explorer mode, reinstall Edge with administrative privileges" . I'm on windows 7, UAC is turned off and I have admin rights. Edge was installed using MSI for enterprise. Error details:

I've never had IE mode come on. I'm curious about which sites still only work with IE.

  Basically, every site that still uses ActiveX (almost all "chinesium" IP Cams relied on ActiveX to play the live video for years, maybe decades) is dependent on IE. I also happen to know an enterprise web app that interacts with the local scanner for digitizing documents and upload it to the app via ActiveX. For what I'm told, there are many enterprise applications still relying on IE for working correctly.

  That is really annoying, and I've had that problem too. How do you keep track of all those bookmarks? I use folders, so that only the folder is duplicated, but 900 bookmarks seems like a massive amount to keep track of. I really hope their working to fix this issue, but it only seems to affect me when I add something on a different browser or device.

  You're paying to test Edge? That's a strange statement to make. Seems to me that it's free software, and you can simply uninstall anytime you don't like it.
