Refresh Enterprise Mode Site List

John_Dodo I'm not exactly sure how IE mode is set up in your environment.  If you are using Cloud Site List Management for IE mode there is some documentation here: Cloud Site List Management for Internet Explorer (IE) mode" | Microsoft Learn

Or possibly this FAQ might help: Internet Explorer (IE) mode troubleshooting and FAQ | Microsoft Learn

Also, you can reach out to Support (https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness) to help with any IE mode configuration issues.  Thanks!

Hi Kelly,
The version of Edge is the following: 125.0.2535.51
For my part, we deliberately blocked the version of Windows 10 1809 on our VDI, to keep Internet Explorer (business application compatibility), and not move to Edge Chromium.
Since then, for corporate security reasons, we've opted to ugrade to Windows 10 20H2 (then 22H2 shortly) with the latest versions of Edge Chromium (updated weekly).
Currently 125.0.2535.51, soon 125.0.2535.67
Would you have an alternative way of benefiting from Refresh Enterprise Mode Site List without having Edge Chromium running in the background for 65 seconds and without clicking on the Force Update button? 
Thank you in advance for your help.

RyanE94 Hi - What version of Microsoft Edge are you using?  Did the issue start happening after a specific Microsoft Edge update?  Let me know if you have any other information that would be helpful to try and investigate.  Thanks!

Hey. everybody. I just had the bizarre behavior again out of the blue just clicking bookmarks for IE mode sites. It launched IE in a standalone window. I went to edge://compat/iediagnostic and under "Internet Explorer mode diagnostics" it says "Failed (Internet Explorer mode setting isn't enabled in Edge)". It has a Retry button next to it. Further down it says Internet Explorer mode setting is Off....Group policy settings...Off. So it's not a site list.

Ok, trying Retry button and nothing is happening. I can't get it to reload the Policy. I'm going to try the last recourse to close Edge and do the 65 seconds thing. Yep, that restored IE mode again. Something is definitely up with Edge dropping the group policy intermittently. Thank you.

I posted in another thread and am wondering if related issue since move to Edge IE mode on June 15. I don't have error specifics but IE mode seems to simply konk out randomly, intermittently. Same set up, pushed out gpo policy, site list on share. When happening, users close all Edge windows and reopening and waiting the 65 seconds. Then ok again. The other day, I asked them to bookmark the edge diagnostics page and try Force update when it happens.

Today, on my pc, although not having any issues, i went to the edge diagnostics page and noticed a red error dot next to the Force Update button. clicked Force Update and the dot went away. Thank you so much for reading.

k3nnyg If you had IE mode working previously and a recent update has caused an issue, have you reached out to Support?  Support - Microsoft Edge Developer  They should be able to gather logs and help investigate your specific case.

We are also having this exact issue and I believe this resurfaced after the latest Edge update. When we moved to Edge we saw this issue frequently then it went away as IE mode loaded for our users. Now that Edge has updated it seems it is doing it all over again. 

We push our policies through GPO and load the XML from a file share. On a PC with the issue there is an error message that states, "Error: No URL or invalid URL for EMIE Sitelist." Pressing Force update loads the list immediately. Would be great if we could get a fix, our EMR application requires IE mode.

TomGriffith3 Hello! ActiveX Controls are supported in IE mode.  Please see this documentation: What is Internet Explorer mode? | Microsoft Docs

Thanks!

Hello. If you have a minute, I read in an online forum that Microsoft isn't supporting OLE in applications. I hope this doesn't affect ActiveX and Edge IE mode. Is IE Mode/ActiveX still good? I use  MS Word interoperability in javascript to populate Ms Word ranges, etc. from browser fields.  thank you very much.

Kelly_Y I too have asked my coworker who is fielding most of these tickets to also directly join this conversation to be able to get the requested info.

R_Whitmire23 Our developers have started to investigate and have a couple of follow up questions. 

Would you be able to confirm if you have enabled the group policy for IE mode, “Configure Internet Explorer integration” (Configure IE mode Policies | Microsoft Docs)?  Or how are you enabling IE mode?  

If you are not using the Configure Internet Explorer integration policy, can you try to enable and test again?  

Thanks!

R_Whitmire23 Thank you!  I've passed it along to the team!

Kelly_Y  Saved it into a .doc to be able to attach it here.

R_Whitmire23 NConnects jeffj The team would like to investigate further.  If there is no private/confidential information, would you be able to send an export of edge://compat/iediagnostic when the device is in the broken state and the issue reproduces?  

If there is confidential information in the export, can you reach out to Support https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com/hc/en-us ?  They will be able to gather the information securely to help investigate.  

Thanks!

R_Whitmire23 Thanks for the additional information!  I'll reach out/follow up with the team and see if they have any insights.
