Introduction

If you’ve recently discovered that your website is being loaded in IE mode within Microsoft Edge, you’re not alone. This is an issue that can perplex website owners, as Internet Explorer’s compatibility mode may inadvertently impact user experience. You might have already taken some measures, like adding the appropriate meta tag to your website, but those steps aren’t always enough to prevent Edge from rendering your site in IE mode. In this guide, we’ll provide a clear, step-by-step guide to prevent this problem from occurring.

Understanding the Issue

Many users may find that their browser defaults to IE mode, which is designed to help with compatibility for older websites that are not optimized for modern browsers. However, this feature can be more troublesome than helpful, especially if you want to ensure that all visitors get the best experience possible.

The presence of the X-UA-Compatible meta tag you mentioned should generally instruct Edge to use the latest standards. However, there are additional factors and settings within Edge that you may need to adjust.

Step-by-Step Solution to Prevent IE Mode

1. Update Browsing Settings

To ensure that Internet Explorer opens sites in Microsoft Edge only for incompatible sites:

Navigate to Edge’s default browser settings by entering the following URL in the address bar: edge://settings/defaultBrowser.

Under the section labeled Let Internet Explorer open sites in Microsoft Edge, set this option to Incompatible sites only.

This adjustment tells Edge to use IE mode only when absolutely necessary, reducing the chances of your site being impacted.

2. Check Group Policy Settings

If the first step doesn’t resolve your issue, it’s time to look at group policies. Follow these steps:

Type edge://policy/ in the address bar to review the current policies in effect.

Look for the InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList policy. If this policy has a site list assigned, it could be overriding your meta tag settings.

If your site URL appears in that list, consider removing it. After making any changes, make sure to refresh the policies to make sure Edge is utilizing the latest configurations.

3. Reset Edge Browser (if applicable)

If the problem persists for a specific user, the issue may lie within their Edge browser settings. A simple reset can often do wonders:

Go to Edge settings and select the option to reset the browser.

Following the reset, ask the user to check if the website still loads in IE mode.

Conclusion

Dealing with IE mode in Microsoft Edge can be challenging, but with these steps, hopefully, you’ll be able to prevent your website from being accessed in this compatibility mode.

By updating the browsing settings, checking and potentially modifying group policy configurations, and resetting the browser, you can ensure a more consistent and enjoyable experience for your site’s visitors. If issues continue, consider reaching out to Microsoft's support forums or additional technical resources for further assistance.
