Internet Explorer mode gone?

Hello Microsoft Community,

For the past 2 months I had been using and testing IE Mode integration within the chromium version of the Edge Browser.

I had the "Enable IE integration" enabled in edge://flags and had been running Edge in admin with the command line "--ie-mode-test"

This was working on Friday 29th May but this morning 1st June the option in "More tools > Open in Internet Explorer Mode" is no longer present.

Any ideas or has IE integration moved exclusively to Local Group Policy ?

Welcome to any suggestions,

Thanks for you time,

Omega.

    This did not help. Several other options are grayed out as well.

    I definitely didn't see the IE options in Edge after the latest updates. However, I think I managed to get this working by first setting up an Enterprise Mode site list and then adding these three registry keys.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode] "SiteList"="https://<yourserver>/IEMode.xml" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode] "SiteList"="https://<yourserver>/IEMode.xml" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] "InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel"=dword:00000001

    You can confirm the list is working by going to edge://compat/enterprise and see how Edge is trying to use IE at edge://compat/iediagnostic

    Hi,

    Anyone got updates on this? Will we still be able to use IE after Jun or Aug/2021?

    I've tried below 3 ways, but they are either don't work or not ideal.

    1. put '-flag-switches-begin --internet-explorer-integration=iemode --ie-mode-test --enable-features=msInternetExplorerIntegrationEnhancedHangResistance --flag-switches-end' in the properties of the Edge desktop icon, but user will have to go to the desire site then click on More Tools and launch the site again in IE mode - Not ideal

    2. I tried to find the sitelist.xml in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Edge, but there is no folder Microsoft Edge under C:\Program Files (x86), only C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge. And there is no sitelist.xml file existed

    3. I tried to modify the registry records, but can't find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode or any other records

    Anyone got any new ideas to beat this stupid MS decision?

    You have to create the sitelist yourself. It's generated with the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49974). That produces the XML file that you reference in the registry keys. You then have to make it accessible to the machines trying to look at it (either a website, UNC path, or locally on each machine).

    For the keys themselves, try plopping those three registry lines into a file called change.reg, then double clicking it. That will add the required keys to the registry in the right place.
