Launch Edge to a specific site in IEMode
Is it possible to launch Edge to open a specific site in IEMode. What we're trying to solve is this specifically, we have application A that had a link to a site and that link had a direct call to IE...
Hey @jasonandrewsmith,
We have implemented this setting (it actually took quite a bit of back and forth with Microsoft to assure this applied to the IEMode Cloud Site List), but we ran into issues with this even when it's a new user on the device. After quite a bit of work with the Microsoft App Assure team and the Edge team we did get a launch command that assures Edge opens in IEMode (note that when used all tab sessions are in IEMode). I'll get the string and post here so others can refer to it, since it might be useful as we get closer to the retirement date of standalone IE.

Jamie Hosley Just wondering, did you get the string to force IEmode eventually? I'm experiencing the same problem here. A reload (F5) is needed to force IE mode.
Hi Sander,
Yes I do still have the string. I've pasted the info below.
“c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --ie-mode-force --internet-explorer-integration=iemode --test-type --user-data-dir=c:\temp\edge https://www.example.com
The --user-data-dir=c:\temp\edge just ensures that you don't re-enter an already running instance of Edge (which might be there due to Startup Boost), but you will end up in a separate profile then.- Tested it and it worked great 🤩, thanks a million Jamie.
