wbabbit Hello! Good news! Just heard from the IE Mode team that the next update being released to MS Edge Stable V86 should include the fix.

Hello. We have been in IE mode since June 15 and I'm getting feedback from users reporting similar behavior. Edge suddenly forgets to launch IE mode at random. The user has to close all Edge windows, reopen and wait the 65 seconds and IE mode seems to work again. The site list, stored on a share, never changes. Also, sometimes the site launches a standalone IE window! Something is up. Does anybody have any ideas? Thank you so much.

wbabbit Sorry for the duplicated responses but I wanted to post in both threads.

Got word from the IE Mode team that the fix was released yesterday to the Canary Channel and will get to Stable next week. Thanks!

Kelly_Y That is great news! Can you share what specific version of Edge Stable (and Edge Beta) will include the fix? That will make it easier to check as users report the issue, to see if they got the right update yet. Thanks
