SharePoint Online Site not working in IE (Internet Explorer)
- Finally received my phone call from Microsoft. Spent over an hour on the phone with the representative about the issue. We tried a few powershell commands to see if the IE mode button within edge would allow the sharepoint online site to load. Still generated the same error. Then kept rambling about how IE 11 was deprecated on June 15th of this year and these are the issues were are facing now. But why would it stop working nearly 2nd week of July a month later? They said due to vulnerabilities that were present this is why it was deprecated. Then why give edge the option to run a site in IE mode? So in all there is not a fix i can provide. Hopefully you have more luck with them. But as far as right now we are all up the creek without a paddle and might be forced to just redesign sharepoint to fully work in edge.
Karl_P88 Thanks for sticking it out and sharing your experience. We are experiencing the same issue. Unfortunately in my industry (working with antiquated control system software that seems to never see an update) utilizing SharePoint is no longer an option since the applications will not run outside of IE.
Appreciate the continued updates and eventual outcome.
Hey no problem. I have been checking it from time to time to see if reloading the page in IE works through edge IE mode. To my surprise today this very morning. I decided to just give it the old college try and low and behold. The SharePoint site reloaded properly through edge using IE mode.
Ohhh Microsoft.... I don't doubt somewhere in the future there will be the same problem and eventually we all will need to migrate away. However microsoft should note that there are businesses out there that don't upgrade as they should and still on antiquated equipment.
- Join the club. I opened a ticket yesterday morning with Microsoft and filling out all the information it had the "estimated timer" if i put a call back number 21 response time. Email 1 hour. Well i got an email response back in about 15 minutes stating they are reviewing the information and that they would call me shortly. Which 0 silence and today is a new morning.
I just find it so odd that it worked last week no issues running it in edge with IE mode turned on for that page. Kind of seems redundant on Microsoft to implement an IE mode within their new browser to only have it fail when reloading a sharepoint site.
