IE Mode popup problem

Going forward; will this fix uniquely require the forthcoming 2004 Update? Or will the fix eventually also be rolled out to IE installs on older builds as well? Through the monthly patches maybe?

UmutG Thanks for reaching out and sorry you're running into issues.

Are you able to collect logs and share back to help us narrow down what's happening? Feel free to send a private message to ensure the logs don't get truncated.

Here's guidance -

- Start Edge with the command line "msedge.exe --enable-logging --v=1 --vmodule=*/dual_engine/*"

- This will create a log in "%localappdata%\microsoft\Edge<Canary/Dev/Beta>\user data\chrome_debug.log"

- The log is human readable and will contain URLs. Please proof read to ensure there is no PII information included before you share back with us.
