How to Extend IE mode more than 30 days

Log out from your profile on MS edge, and close it then run the script it should work

You can use the IEModeExpiryFix script to set the expiry for all Edge IE Mode pages to a far future date of your choice (2099 by default). Please see the notes at that link for more details.

Thanks alot this worked much appreciated !

Thank you! I do not use Edge on any other device, so I used option 1, and it worked perfectly.

I have a Network Video Recorder that requires to be run in Internet Explorer Mode. I am able to get there, but it will only stay that way for 30 days. I can always add that URL again, but that only buys me an additional 30 days. Is there a way to have that particular address "always" open in IE mode?

You have two options: 1) Use my IEModeExpiryFix script to set the expiry to 2099, 0r 2) Use a little launcher script that loads your Network Video Recorder directly into Internet Explorer.

Option 1:

To use the script, your Edge profile must NOT be synced. Click the little person icon at the top of the Edge window:

If you see a dialog like this, you're ready to run the script:

But if you see a dialog like this, the script will not work:

If you run Edge on more than one device and want your Edge data (e.g. bookmarks) synced across those devices, then I'd recommend leaving sync on and go to Option 2. But if you only run Edge on one device, then you can turn off sync (click the gear icon and then click the sign out button).

You can download the script from here: https://lesferch.github.io/IEModeExpiryFix/

Option 2:

Download the IEModeExpiryFix package (same link as above) and extract the file LaunchIE.vbs. Edit the file using a text editor, such as Notepad, and change the string "about:blank" to the URL of your Network Video Recorder. For example:

Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 

oIE.Visible = True 

oIE.Navigate "https://192.168.1.124"

Then, just double-click that script anytime you need to access your NVR. You can put the script anywhere and create a shortcut to it if you like.

I am an individual user, not part of an enterprise and would like to have clear way to fix this issue. I do not use profiles; I do not speak "System Admin".

And if not, why not?
