    Using VBS script, was failing with 'Edge profile sign-in detected. Profile cannot be updated."

    But was not signed-in. So, commented out the check for signed-in, and then it worked.

    You shouldn't have needed to modify the script. The correct procedure would be to open Edge, sign out (or sign in, sign out) and then close Edge.

    What probably happened is that you were signed in and then signed out without closing Edge. The Edge Preferences file does not get updated until you close Edge. So, when the script ran, it killed the msedge.exe processes, leaving the Preferences file as it was (i.e. signed in) and therefore detected a sign-in. If you were to open Edge again at that point, you would see that Edge is back to signed-in because the Preferences file didn't get updated to signed-out.

    If you were never signed-in to Edge, then this is an issue I've never seen. I don't think that's possible.

    Is there an easy way to auto set the listed sites to use the "Open this page in Internet Explorer mode next time" switch? Perhaps the compatibility one as well for those who may need it?

    I KNOW many of our users will complain that things didn't work because they fail to verify the state of the Open in IE Mode button now...

    The script already sets "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)" to Allow:

    I just double-checked and found that, even for a site that was previously opened, once added and/or updated by the script, it will load in IE Mode, as long as the page is not coded to prevent that. For example, cnn.com will not load in IE Mode.

    P.S. In testing, I found a bug (in the VBS version of the script) where the script wasn't updating and/or adding a URL that existed elsewhere in the Preferences file. That has now been fixed. Perhaps you encountered this bug. Please download a fresh copy and test again. Thanks.
