IE11 need for MS Edge compatability
Hi MS Team, Can you share the need of IE11 for Edge compatibility? As an enterprise we would like to remove IE11 from the users machine.
Thanksmindst .
Are there any alternatives or may be is it possible that IE11 is not available to the user but can remain installed in the background for the Edge to work correctly ?
The query is more towards, why is it required? Since MS recommends using the new Edge browser and because of security reasons IE11 is not encouraged.
IE11 is required to render sites that are displayed in IE Mode. You can remove all shortcuts to IE11 and make Edge default browser, so users will not be able to use in normal cases.
If you are not planning on using IE mode, then IE11 is not required.

Why not be able to remove IE from the system and in Edge. There is a option to opt in with IE mode and it downloads the required software into the browserDeleted, can you share the link for the option or any reference or screenshot ? Thanks
- There isn't a option, it was just a suggstion. It hasnt been implented yet, sorrry.
