Microsoft is slowly moving away from Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) support. As a result more and more companies and organizations are looking to stop supplying IE11 on their user environments. Blueriq is anticipating this moment by developing the successor of Blueriq Studio: Blueriq Encore. Meanwhile, Blueriq Studio still relies on IE11 and XBAP to run properly. We therefore support using Blueriq Studio in Microsoft Edge in IE11 compatibility modus.
To use Microsoft Edge with IE mode, you have to meet prerequisites as listed on the Microsoft site. Additionally, it might be that some adjustments need to be made by you and/or your system administrator to your computer/windows environment to make MS Edge work in IE compatibility mode. These adjustments depend on your scenario.
There are three scenario's:
Quick guide:
Open the "Settings and more" menu
Open "Settings"
Select the "Default Browser" option
Set "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode" to "Allow"
You have 2 options to view a site in IE mode.
Switch the open site to IE Mode
Open the "Settings and more" menu
Select "Reload in Internet Explorer mode"
You should see the Internet Explorer Icon before the URL.
Add site to list to be opened in IE mode
Site is already in IE Mode (see previous steps)
Click on the IE Mode icon
Enable the option "Open this page in Internet Explorer mode next time"
The site will now be opened in Internet Explorer mode (30 days is the default)
Add site to the Internet Explorer mode pages list directly
Open the "Settings and more" menu
Open "Settings"
Select the "Default Browser" option
Press the "Add" button in the "Internet Explorer mode pages" section
Fill the URL under "Enter a URL" and press "Add"
The site will now be opened in Internet Explorer mode for 30 days (30 days is the default)
When browsing to the site you should see the Internet Explorer Icon before the URL.
In any scenario, XAML browser applications need to be enabled in the security settings of your system, as described in the video below and here: IE Security Setting.
Please contact Blueriq Support if you have questions about using Microsoft Edge with IE mode.

For a BMF student with a Windows 11 laptop, I was able to configure the settings as described in scenario 1, but that was not enough. I couldn't find the security settings in Edge itself, but you can access them via the control panel > internet options (thanks for the tip Onno!). When I added the studio url to the trusted sites (and unchecked that https is required), studio was up & running without problems.

The security settings (including how to set them without internet explorer) are described here: IE Security Setting

Thanks for the additional link Vincent. I want to add that this link leads to a page that describes how to adjust the registry to allow XAML browser applications. In the past years in my work with students that are going to use our studio, I hardly ever had to adjust the registry in that way. But I always have to add the Blueriq studio url (e.g. http://classroom.blueriq.com/Studio/Studio.xbap) to the trusted sites in IE (or via the control panel > internet options).
Vincent Jansen
Registry is just one of the options (I think only system administrators will use it), users using edge I think should use the second option on that page (via the control panel).

I've added two video guides that describe the use of the IE compatibility mode in Edge and additional security settings as discussed in the comments above which will cover the most common scenarios.
