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. For those users that do not have IE11 available we now support Microsoft Edge in (IE11 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:

Allow sites to be loaded in IE Mode

Open the "Settings and more" menu

Open "Settings"

Edge Open settings

Select the "Default Browser" option

Set "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode" to "Allow"

Edge Setttings Default Browser Allow sites to be relaoded in Internet Exxplorer mode

Using the IE Mode

You have 2 options to view a site in IE mode.
