Manual: How to set up IE Mode (Internet Explorer Integration) in Edge C (Updated)
Neon01 I'm not seeing this policy listed - Windows Components > Microsoft Edge > Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list
I downloaded the latest policies (this morning), and that setting is just not available.
I have followed all other steps, and IE mode is not working for me.

I had the same experience with same most actual versions. Also edge://compat showed the configured site correctly. A site with Java applet which works in IE11 well. Finally, the only way to get it work was to starting msedge with the commandline option --ie-mode-test like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe" --ie-mode-test

tomotello the command line is to be used for testing purposes, to validate which sites need to run in IE mode.
I would be more than happy to assist in help with your site list (EMIE) configuration.

tomotello Thanks, but thats not working either. Site still wants to open in IE, and errors out when it does.

Faye Jasman can you please revisit the updated documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode as it has much clear instructions.
"Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" is an Internet Explorer policy found in : Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer

Adrian_Guta Was using that before it was suggested to come to this post. Following those directions exactly and its still not working.

Hi Faye,
the downloaded policies for Edge Dev are directly in
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge
And yes, there is no Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list policy.
But there's a policy for the (built-in) Classic Edge browser located at
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge where you'll find the Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list.
Quite disturbing, but for some unknown reason Edge Dev is also using this policy. So please enable and configure your sitelist there.
If you still can't find it, you can also do the setting via registry. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode
and create a new REG_SZ named SiteList . The value is the path to your sitelist.
Other important thing, if you use a local XML-sitelist, the path in the policy setting must look like:
file:///C:\<your path>\list.xml
Notice the forward and backward slashes, otherwise it won't work.
You can check if your sitelist is recognized correctly by typing edge://compat in Edge Dev. If everything works, it'll show all entries from your sitelist.

Thanks.
That policy is not there (see pic below). I went the registry route though and that key was there but with wrong location (i've put the xml file on a network share).
Thanks for the edge://compat suggestion. It is picking up the right list, but says Engine: EDGE instead of IE (which is how it is set in the xml).
