IE mode just opens IE?
I followed this guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode
I have in GPO set "Configure Internet Explorer integration." to Internet Explorer Mode
The XML file is:
<site-list version="205">
<site url="*url*">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
</site-list>
I did this according to the guide. Now when i open the URL in new edge it just opens IE browser, and not emulated inside of Edge. What have i done wrong? 🙂 Please help..
mindst Yea i have it, but it says 2. Which is Internet Explorer Mode.
Edit: Wait all nevermind. Apparently Edge just took it's sweet time to update the GPO... It actually does work now and open in-browser like it should. Sorry for bothering 😄

Hi Oliver,
let's see if we can work it out.
Which branch of Edge are you running (Beta/Dev/Canary) and what is the build number?
Also, what OS version are you using?
To check if Edge is recognizing your sitelist correctly, type edge://compat into the address bar. This will list all entries from your XML-sitelist. Can you try and tell me what output you get?
Well, your XML is looking good and the path to your file is recognized correctly.
With Dev #81.0.389.2 on Windows 1903 it should definitely work, just tested with an identical machine.
So, let's check your configuration.
1. Did you install the necessary updates? For IE mode on 1903 you need KB4503293 or higher and KB4501375 or higher
2. Go to edge://flags/ and check the following
- Enable IE Integration is set to IE mode
- Enable enhanced hang resistance for IE Integration is set to Enabled
- Enable IE window hang resistance for IE Integration is set to Enabled
3. Open the registry and check if the GPO policies for IE mode are set correctly:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge >
InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel (REG_DWORD) with value 1 (or decimal: 0x00000001) - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode > SiteList (REG_SZ) with path to your XML-sitelist
- I've the same issue and I'm interested in the solution. The XML file is working but it opens IE instead of emulate it on the Edge chromium.
