I've completely lost the option to reload in IE mode on multiple different pc's that uses edge as of today. Its set to allow in edge://settings/defaultBrowser and I've even added sites to it to try to force it to work that way but no luck. I have old software that runs from a local networked computer that only runs in IE mode. Anyone having this issue and found a fix/work around? I've also reset default settings in IE, cleared cache/history, rebooted pc, and disabled/re-enabled that setting.

As a temporary fix, this worked for me.

Anthony Cerimeli 5 Reputation points2026-01-26T15:10:09.94+00:00 @Huy Dat Nguyen this subject is not talking about accessing Internet Explorer.
The subject is access to the function inside of Edge browser that provides functionality to websites and apps that require IE. "Internet Explorer Mode" is that function inside of Edge. The function still exists, but the button on the toolbar to access it is broken.

Don Schaefer 0 Reputation points2025-11-25T13:56:00.8066667+00:00 Microsoft, here's an idea! Why don't you update RDS (RDWEB) so that it doesn't require Internet Explorer 11 to work properly. In default Edge, the the option to connect to Users Desktops doesn't show.
