Edige IE mode, 32-bit?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/ieinternals/understanding-enhanced-protected-mode
So by default it IE content processes uses 32bit, you need extra action to make them 64bit. That blog post was for win7 and win8, but things doesn't changed for win10.
mindst Hello. It's been a awhile, obviously, and I've been messing around some more, particularly with the IE "Display intranet sites in Compatibility view". I have this enabled by policy because a few intranet sites have emulate IE9 meta tags. This was doen because they have XML islands and to recode all those calls with XHR and controlling asynchronous/synchronous calls would be an undertaking. Would you know if compatibility and emulate previous IE versions is supported in Edge IE mode?
While I'm here, I've een reading about a new Chrome Edge browser? Does this still have IE mode capability? Thank you so much.
Hey there Tom, the Chromium Edge browser does indeed have IE mode configurable through group policy, though it's IE11 - Configure IE mode Policies | Microsoft Docs
I am honestly not very familiar with the legacy Microsoft Edge group policy but it doesn't look like there's an option to emulate previous IE versions using IE mode in either the legacy or new (Chromium) Microsoft Edge.
Hope that helps!

Alexandra-R Hello. If you have a minute, I read in an online forum that Microsoft isn't supporting OLE in applications. I hope this doesn't affect ActiveX and Edge IE mode. Is IE Mode/ActiveX still good? I use MS Word interoperability in javascript to populate Ms Word ranges, etc. from browser fields. thank you very much.
Alexandra-R Hey, another quick question. When I go through the Configure IE mode document you linked...
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode-policies#configure-internet-explorer-integration
I try this...
Enable Internet Explorer integration using Group Policy
Download and use the latest https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download.
but the link takes me to a general Edge download page. I can't find where I am able download the Policy Template. I doubt I will have the administrator access to do much on my local but I am trying to engage the desktop support team. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
TomGriffith3 You need to scroll down and select your channel/version and build, then click 'Get Policy Files' 😃
Alexandra-R Hi, Alex. i was going to test all of the above but wanted to "one-off" enabling IE mode on my desktop Edge settings. Not going through IT team and policy settings. There supposedly used to be a toggle switch of some sort in Edge Settings but its not there. Has this been removed? Thank you.
TomGriffith3 Unfortunately there's no longer a toggle for consumers, and to your above question I'm a little concerned about the emulate IE9 tag also but I'm not positive if it will work. Let me check in with the team that handles IE mode and see what they have to say on that (sorry for the delay!)
