IE Site list mode not working
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"
This 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.
Feel free to share the log via Private Message if you prefer.
Thanks!

Shilpa_Subramanian Attached. Thank you.
I see in the log the following, after I placed http://www.google.com in the SiteList file:
"Site found on sitelist. engine == Edge, allow-redirect == 0, for_redirect == 0, IsHostingInternetExplorer == 0, IsRemoteDebugging == 0 for: https://www.google.com/"
So it seems it does recognize the site list, but uses the wrong engine (Edge instead of IE).
I got the same results when setting the SiteList XML file to open the site with IE11, as well.

eladz6 Thanks for sharing the logs. Can you resend the log file when you change the XML entry to be IE11 for google.com? Here's guidance:
1. Update the site list XML entry as follows:
<site url="www.google.com">
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
2. Once you make this change, go to edge://compat/enterprise and click on Force Update next to the XML location.
The list should update and you'll see the column for Engine read IE11 for the google.com entry.
3. Once this is complete, try navigating to google.com from Edge using the command line to retrieve the log again.
Thanks!

Hello,
I read all the topic and didn't found the answer of my issue.
You say : "2. Once you make this change, go to edge://compat/enterprise and click on Force Update next to the XML location"
Is it possible to automate the action "Force Update" button ?
We can't tell at our 10 000 users to do this action! 🙂
Thank you.
Shilpa_Subramanian Sure, I'm attaching the log.
To my surprise - this time it did open http://www.google.com using an IE engine. The surprise stems from the fact that when I tried the same thing - changing the sitelist value to open with IE instead of Edge, then forcing update and opening the site - it still used the Edge engine.
