IE Explorer Mode
WillieT1986 This might be due to the intermediary authentication site running in the Edge engine.
Can you try adding the authentication site as a neutral site?
If you're using the Enterprise Site List Tool, enter the authentication URL, such as login.contoso.com and in the "Open In" drop down, select "None".
If you're using the site list XML, you could add:
<site url="login.contoso.com"> <compat-mode>default</compat-mode> <open-in>None</open-in> </site>

I went ahead and tried this a couple of different ways and it seems that nothing seems to work, nor when I uninstall and reinstall and reset up the policies it seems to all stay the same.
Any other suggestions? I also assume that I must being doing the site list part wrong as well as it is my first time messing around with something like this as well.

WillieT1986 Did I understand correctly that the first site you tried did open in IE mode on Edge? When you needed to log in, you were no longer in IE mode. And refreshing the page brought you back to IE mode?
If the first part is true, then the site list is probably working right.

Yeah, when I go to access the login screen on Edge Dev it enables IE Mode but when I go to log in it would go back to Edge and then when I click on a link it would take me back to the log in screen. Odd right? I tried to make that site list xml file as well and now it just switches back n forth between IE Mode and Edge for the Log In screen and nothing else.
I am able to I will try and get the time to take some screenshots and make a google doc file to list my settings and the screens that I am looking at that will not violate my company at all.
