IE Mode Zoom Reset
Edge seems to remember zoom setting changes except for IE Mode sites, they always reset to 100%. Is there any way to change this behavior?
MPetro-Hoganas AndrewSAIF A fix for this issue should be available in Edge versions 84.0.496 or after. Can you confirm if you're still seeing this behavior on the latest version of Edge Dev/Beta?
Thanks,
Shilpa

We just had our users report this zoom reset occurring as well for IE mode in our environment. Would like to see a resolution if anyone finds one.
Hadn't thought to test this before, but sure enough it resets every time. I'm positive I will hear complaints from users about this.
Adding to this:
- Opening Internet Explorer and setting a zoom level there does not affect the zoom level of IE Mode tabs opened in Edge
- Opening one IE Mode tab in Edge and adjusting the zoom there does not affect the zoom level of subsequently opened IE Mode tabs
- There do not appear to be any Edge flags controlling IE Mode zoom behavior
- Changing the zoom level on a Chromium tab and on an IE Mode tab both leave identical entries in the Preferences file in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default under per_host_zoom_levels, but I doubt the IE engine interacts with this file to retrieve this info
- Changing the ZoomFactor value in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Zoom has no effect on IE Mode tabs in Edge
- The IE Setting in Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Accessibility>Reset Zoom level for new windows and tabs does not have any bearing on how IE Mode tabs open in Edge
It looks like IE Mode tabs also ignore the minimum font size setting in Edge.
Deleted Sorry to tag you, but it would be nice to know if the Enterprise team has this on their radar.
MPetro-Hoganas We have the same problem. I hope there is a solution!
