Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode Greyed Out
Shilpa_SubramanianThis answer is not good at all. And I feel that that can not be the right answer.
Why would Microsoft be trying to stop corporate computers from being able to use those functions.
Microsoft, please please please remove the blocks that is stopping corporate computers from using the Internet Explorer compatibility settings in Edge. Your answer makes no sense that Microsoft would be doing this.
Can you please provide more info on what is happening here?
MicrosoftMike_Bound to clarify, we are working on a policy for the first setting to "Let Internet Explorer open sites in Microsoft Edge". Until the policy is available, this setting will be hidden so as to not cause confusion.
For the second setting - "Allow sites to be loaded in Internet Explorer mode", corporate devices can already use this feature using group policies available. For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-policies
I've already read through https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-policies before reaching out.
Note that I already have GPO setting "Configure Internet Explorer integration" set to 1 which is "Internet Explorer mode". Still the 2nd option under "Internet Explorer compatibility" is still in the off position and the 1st option is "never".
It is the current stable version 85 I'm using.
Web page above says version 77 and above.
Am also well use to Site compatibility lists and have them in place since IE11 came out and for use with Edge legacy.
If "Configure Internet Explorer integration" is the right answer, then something doesn't work.
Further so issue is clear:
1) There is no menu option under more tools to open the current site in IE mode.
2) There is no blue "e" icon at the start of the web address on any page that might be showing in IE mode. Or any other indication that a page is showing in IE mode.
Both of these things aren't happening with GPO setting "Configure Internet Explorer integration" turned on.
Mike_Bound ABSOLUTELY! same problem here, I have scrupulously followed the setting up of the GPO in every detail and I still get the option greyed out and it's still not working on Edge ... a real beginner's job, I have to ask users to wait...
To enable "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode" on managed devices (version 86 and above), either
- enable it in GPO settings under "Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Allow Internet Explorer mode testing"
- or go to registry "HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" and create a REG-DWORD with the name "InternetExplorerIntegrationTestingAllowed" and set its value to 0x00000001
After a log-off the option to open sites in IE Mode is available in the menu under "More tools", although it's still greyed out on the settings page.
Afaik the background behind is that MS assumes that organizations with managed devices don't want to allow users to open any site in IE Mode due to security reasons and therefore control the access via IE site lists.
