Apologies for replying to a very old post... but I think this is relevant.

I added the following key to the Registry on my Windows 11 23H2 laptop, and it solved the problem:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\AutoOpenFileTypes]
"1"="rdp"


No IE Mode neccessary...

I open lots of RDP connections every day via BeyondTrust and the security warning was a painful extra step that stole hundreds of clicks from the life of my mouse😉. Now it's not an issue.
