What is the code to run IE in Edge?
Two questions for you:
- Is your problem not being able to use your program to open a page / site in Edge using IE mode at all, or is the issue that you are using IE Mode, but Edge in IE Mode is acting differently in some way (i.e. in not allowing the tab to be closed on a timer) than IE11 does?
- On which release channel(s) (i.e. Public, Beta, Dev, or Canary) of Edge have you experienced this?
In the meantime, the notes below may help you and others in similar situations.

Microsoft is committed to minimize impacts to existing applications from IE11 to Edge:
- Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge will be supported through at least 2029.
- Send us a note when you’re ready (ietoedge@microsoft.com) and we can add your IE site to our list which will enable this transition experience. Learn more about how we can help your IE users switch smoothly.
From this Windows IT Pro blog post:
- Apps developed for IE should work in Microsoft Edge through IE mode. If you encounter an issue, contact App Assure for remediation assistance (ACHELP@microsoft.com).
- IE to Microsoft Edge Redirection
- It appears this is for the opposite case as yours (i.e. when a website is changed to make it incompatible with IE11) but there may also be a whitelist for sites on which to enforce IE mode in Edge
If the support teams are contacted directly, then they will be more aware of your specific type of issue and may be able to make changes or publish guidance to better help others with similar issues in the future.
M365 customers with at least 150 seats (officially... there may be some flexibility there?) should probably start with App Assure via FastTrack, but there are options for everyone:

I am having a similar issue... but dont see an answer to it in your reply.
I also have a program in Excel vba which needs to open a browser like:
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With ie
.Visible = True
.navigate "https://www.example.com"
Do Until .readyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop ....................
The problem is that the code ALWAYS opens IE11. How can I have the code open Edge instead? what will happen after June 22 when IE gets deprecated?
- any clues if you have been able to find a solution for this ? 🙂 thanks!
