Microsoft Edge sign in requires the latest version of Internet Explorer
- Jan 07, 2021
To wrap this up (it still crops up occasionally), here's an official response with the solution:
The team has looked into this issue and determined this is related to Compatibility mode. On Windows 10 if Edge is configured to run in Compatibility mode as Windows 8, you will see this error. This is not a supported configuration to run Edge on Windows 10.
The fix for this is to turn Compatibility mode off (right click on Edge from the File Explorer > Properties > Compatibility tab > Uncheck "Run the program in compatibility mode for:")

Noel Burgess December 2022 and Edge still requires Internet Explorer. A little ridiculous, don't you agree?

I follow your instructions to uncheck the setting for compatibility and my Microsoft Edge did not have that setting checked. So that is not the issue in my problem, but I still have the same problem.
