IE mode stuck in IE5 mode

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a way to fix this for two whole days of seaching. We have a .xml to configure IE mode in Edge with multiple websites. Some configured in IE8, others in IE10 or IE11... But absolutely none in IE5. But Edge doesn't care. Edge loves IE5 and will give us IE5 whenever we configure anything else than IE11 in the xml file.

I did multiple tries in the config files, only IE11 works when I put it. If I put anything under IE11 (like IE8 for example), it will give me IE5. Every single time.

An example of a website configuration:

<site url="xxx.xxx.xxx"> <compat-mode>IE8</compat-mode> <open-in>IE11</open-in> </site>

This will give me IE5.

I tried some fixes found on the net, like creating a registry key:

Computer\\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\BrowserEmulation REG\_DWORD: IntranetCompatibilityMode - set it to 0

But it didn't work either.

I'm starting to feel out of options. Does anyone have an idea?

We're running on Windows 10 and latest Edge version (118).
