Edge Beta intermittently ignoring IE Mode
Hi all, sorry if this is a duplicate question. We are seeing multiple users with Edge Beta where a site in the IE Mode site list XML will sometimes load in IE mode, and sometimes it won't. It seems...

MicrosoftSteveSta Hi Steve - Thanks for reaching out! Yes, there was a recent post on the Forum from someone reporting the same issue (Problems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ? - Microsoft Tech Community)
We've also been getting reports of this issue from a few other sources but we still haven't been able to get a consistent repro.
Like I mentioned in the other post, it would be very helpful to get your logs, repro steps, traces and other information we can use to troubleshoot. Would you be able to file a customer support request? Because of the sensitive information/PII that can be in the data we ask that you work with Support Team. They should be able to gather the necessary information for our team. Thanks for your help!

This is happening to us currently (it wasn't happening as of 2 weeks ago) and I can recreate it at will. chrome_debug.log pasted into Word doc below. I can't find any smoking gun causing it but I can cause it easily. On the log below you can see it loads one of my IE mode sites on line 1558, but when I try the exact same site 3 minutes later on line 1781 it loads it in Edge mode. I tested on the current Beta edge (87.0.664.18) and it is still occurring on it.

wbabbit Hi - Thanks for reaching out!
The IE Mode team has been investigating. Would you be able to try run MS Edge with the command --disable-features=msUsePrerenderNTP and see if that fixes the problem?
Let us know if that helps! Thank you!
Also, there have been some other discussions about this on a separate thread (Re: Problems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ? - Microsoft Tech Community), if you want to take a look.

Kelly_Y It looks like that resolves the issue, I haven't been able to make it occur in the last 45 mins and generally it took me 2-3 minutes to make it happen prior.
