Key notes
Microsoft Edge has advanced rapidly in recent years, and it now has a variety of valuable integrations and features to offer users. One of these capabilities is to configure Internet Explorer integration mode, which many reported missing in the Group Policy.
The problem usually lies with the configured settings or Edge’s flags. And the solutions are rather quick and simple and shouldn’t take much time.
Here are some fixes that will most probably help you to enable IE mode in Edge.
What is Edge IE mode?
Microsoft has included a mode that allows users to quickly access the websites that their employer requires in a single browser. It is known as IE mode.
It allows users to access websites that are developed for Internet Explorer without actuallyinstalling the now discontinued browser. Also, to guarantee backward compatibility with existing enterprise apps and internal sites, Edge’s IE mode can be used.
Now let us get back to the question: how do I enable IE mode in Edge via group policy?
?️Quick Tip:
An encrypted privacy browser, such as Opera One, can help you get the most out of your work and personal browsing experiences. It’s fast, memory and battery efficient, and it includes an ad blocker and VPN to keep you safe.
Furthermore, when you switch internet browsers to Opera One, you will be prompted to import any data from your previous web browser. And it also features a native AI.

What can I do if Internet Explorer integration is missing in the group policy?
1. Download the latest Microsoft Edge Policy Template
2. Enable the Edge flag for IE mode
Can I configure the Internet Explorer integration using the Registry?
You can certainly enable IE mode by changing the Registry values. However, this is not advised because any unwanted changes in the registry may cause system failure andresult in BSOD.
The main cause of this problem is that the users have not downloaded the latest Microsoft Edge Policy Template.
With this file in the right place, the IE mode can be enabled both from theSettingsandEdge Flags.
However, enabling it from the flags will provide you with other useful settings, most of which may be experimental, so be sure not to flip switches without enough information about the feature.
That’s how you can configure Internet Explorer integration if it’s missing in the Group Policy and access legacy websites.
