Enterprise Mode in Edge Chromium leaving empty tab

Hi,

 

I've configured the Enterprise Mode in Edge Chromium (Version 83.0.478.56 (Official build) (64-bit)) so that I have, for instance, this value in the XML:

 

<site url="http://www.google.com">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
 
and when I reach the URL it indeed opens the site using a new IE11 window. 
 
But the problem is that it leaves the original Edge tab that tried to access the URL open, so I get a new IE11 window and an empty Edge tab.
 
Is there a way to avoid this behavior and also close the open tab once it launches the IE11 window, so I won't have any 'leftovers'?
 
Thank you.

    Group policy - Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Microsoft Edge - enable 'Configure Internet Explorer Integration' select Internet Explorer mode in the drop down menu.

    eladz6 To make sure I understand the problem, are you expecting google.com to open in Internet Explorer mode and instead ending up in IE11 standalone app with Edge as is? 

    If so, can you check if you have enabled the policy for IE mode integration? - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-policies#configure-internet-explorer-integration

    If you already have the policy set and this is still an issue, can you please send over a screenshot of edge://compat/iediagnostic?

      Shilpa_Subramanian Thanks for the reply.

       

      I have the IE mode integration set to 'Internet Explorer 11'. I expect the website to open in a separate IE window, which it does, but it also leaves an empty Edge tab open as well.

       

      Attaching the output you requested. Thank you !
