SharePoint Online Site not working in IE (Internet Explorer)
Hi, SharePoint online site is used to work in Internet Explorer browser via Citrix earlier. But, now getting error message as "Error details: Error: spfx loader is not present in the page in IE"....
We have both SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2019 On-Prem. We require IE mode configured on our SharePoint 2019 On-Prem site because that way InfoPath Forms open just fine in InfoPath filler as required. When we try put the SharePoint Online URL on the list to open in IE mode, we cannot login to SharePoint Online at all using EDGE. We had heard that you can't open SharePoint online with IE, but now we can't even open SharePoint Online with EDGE in IE mode. I fear there is no way to move our 1000+ InfoPath forms to SharePoint Online (And please don't helpfully tell me that InfoPath is deprecated and suggest I rebuild all my InfoPath forms in Power Apps unless you would like to come work for me for free for oh, say, the next 2 years rebuilding 1000 complex InfoPath forms in Power Apps!)
Welcome to wonderful world of Microsoft. We have some applications still that are published by another facility that we gain access via a VPN Tunnel. The site needs to be loaded in IE mode and thankfully that still works for now. But yes that is correct loading any SharePoint site with IE mode will generate the "globalthis" error when clicking the IE Mode button. We all know Internet Explorer 11 is deprecated but there are many more people out there that still rely on it and with their recommended options of migrating content that is reliant of IE 11 or IE mode is just not feasible in a matter of days or weeks.
We open File explorer links in SharePoint which is a feature of IE Mode but since it doesn't work. The recommended is to use the feature of One Drive and sync the folders etc etc except the problem is we don't utilize one drive and i foresee staff getting extremely confused on the process.

Stay clear from using IE to access SharePoint. Start using the browser interface (or OneDrive) or use alternatives that circumvent IE problems. See https://directory.collab365.com/office365-sharepoint/best-document-management-tools-for-sharepoint/ and https://directory.collab365.com/listing/slim-companion-explorer/There are solutions that offer 99% of the Windows Explorer functionality and support modern browsers on Windows and macOS.
