    eladz6  That is odd. We can take a look. Can you please send us the following - 

    1. A screenshot of edge://compat/iediagnostic

    2.  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"

    Thanks!

eladz6  It looks like you have the policies set correctly. Does the site you expect to open in IE mode  have the <open-in> tag set to IE11? 

 

<site url="contoso.com">

<open-in>IE11</open-in>

</site>

Thanks for the reply.

I tried it both with "open-in" set to IE11 and to MS-Edge, but nothing really occurred on either. I also tried to place the site list Xml file both locally and remotely, but again - it had no effect.

    eladz6 I misread your initial post. 

    Sites configured to open in IE mode through the site list will load in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) on the same tab. The only indicator that the site is in IE mode is the IE11 icon on the top left next to the Refresh button.

    It looks like you are expecting the site to open in the IE11 standalone app and not in Edge. If this is correct, you will need to add an additional attribute to the <open-in> tag.

    <open-in app="true">IE11</open-in>

      Shilpa_Subramanian Thank you, but no, that's not the issue - I want the site to open in MSEdge using the IE engine. Since that didn't work, I tried the open in IE option, but that didn't work either.

      The sites in the site list still open only in Edge with the Chromium engine, despite all settings set to open them using the IE engine.

       

      Any ideas on how to resolve this, or check why it's not working as expected?
