IE Explorer Mode
I went ahead and tried this a couple of different ways and it seems that nothing seems to work, nor when I uninstall and reinstall and reset up the policies it seems to all stay the same.
Any other suggestions? I also assume that I must being doing the site list part wrong as well as it is my first time messing around with something like this as well.
WillieT1986 Did I understand correctly that the first site you tried did open in IE mode on Edge? When you needed to log in, you were no longer in IE mode. And refreshing the page brought you back to IE mode?
If the first part is true, then the site list is probably working right.

Yeah, when I go to access the login screen on Edge Dev it enables IE Mode but when I go to log in it would go back to Edge and then when I click on a link it would take me back to the log in screen. Odd right? I tried to make that site list xml file as well and now it just switches back n forth between IE Mode and Edge for the Log In screen and nothing else.
I am able to I will try and get the time to take some screenshots and make a google doc file to list my settings and the screens that I am looking at that will not violate my company at all.

WillieT1986 I just noticed a typo in the XML above and corrected it, if you want to give it another try.
<site url="login.contoso.com"> <compat-mode>default</compat-mode> <open-in>None</open-in> </site>
If it still doesn't work, we can look at other options to troubleshoot.
In general, the sites that you have listed in the XML with the element <open-in>IE11</open-in> should open in IE mode. All other sites will open in Edge. Here's the updated documentation.

I got a little bit of time yesterday to read that article over and realized I was doing the setup wrong with the sites.xml file and pointing to its location. I am going to try messing around with that some more and see how it goes but so far still prevents my intranet site from working and any other sites similar to it that support IE 11 does not switch over either but I will try and get some time to play around with it this week.
