Edge insider Dev bypasses IE mode website list
My Server and clients are both Windows Server 2019 (fully updated),
Microsoft Edge insider Version 79.0.279.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit),
here are the Group Policies being applied to Edge insider Dev in edge://policy/
the group policy object is being applied domain-wide to all authenticated users and to user configuration.

And here is my list of Enterprise IE mode website:
<site-list version="3">
<created-by>
<tool>EMIESiteListManager</tool>
<version>10.0.14357.1004</version>
<date-created>09/30/2019 08:56:15</date-created>
</created-by>
<site url="bing.com">
<compat-mode>Default</compat-mode>
<open-in>MSEdge</open-in>
</site>
<site url="necacom.net">
<compat-mode>Default</compat-mode>
<open-in>MSEdge</open-in>
</site>
</site-list>
Created by Enterprise Mode Site List Manager.
in both server and client, I am the administrator.
so what am I missing?
HotCakeX Just making sure I understand the issue - when you say Edge bypasses the site list, are you expecting bing.com from your list to open in IE mode? If so, you will need to set the <open-in> tag to IE11 instead of MSEdge.
Let me know if I misunderstood the problem.

here is what I suspect:
in this part:
"InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList": { "level": "mandatory", "scope": "user", "source": "platform", "value": "\\\\SERVER-1\\share\\sites.xml" },the Value is "\\\\SERVER-1\\share\\sites.xml"
is it possible that the quadruple backward slashes are causing the issue?
as you can see I've correctly only put double backward slashes in the group policy:
as stated here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode#configure-sites-on-the-enterprise-site-list
"
- (Recommended) HTTPS location: https://localhost:8080/sites.xml
- Local network file: \\network\shares\sites.xml
- Local file: file:///c:/Users/<user>/Documents/sites.xml
"
I also tried the HTTPS way but still no luck
this value is set inside group policy object:
https://server-1.domain.local/sitelist/sites.xml
(replaced my actual domain name with domain.local for posting in here)
the list is accessible on both server and client and in Edge insider Dev,
