IE Mode popup problem
Shilpa_Subramanian I have just tried it on our intranet sites with the latest Insider build (19037.1) with Edge Dev 80.0.358.0 and all the required
edge://flagsall set and the test mode string added to the launch shortcut:
--ie-mode-testand I can confirm it behaves as expected now:
A link with 'target=_blank' specified will now really open the link in a new IE mode tab, loading the webpage as expected. No longer resulting in an empty tab with 'about:_blank' staring at me from the address bar... Thanks! Great work!
Going forward; will this fix uniquely require the forthcoming 2004 Update? Or will the fix eventually also be rolled out to IE installs on older builds as well? Through the monthly patches maybe?
UmutG Thanks for reaching out and sorry you're running into issues.
Are you able to collect logs and share back to help us narrow down what's happening? Feel free to send a private message to ensure the logs don't get truncated.
Here's guidance -
- Start Edge with the command line "msedge.exe --enable-logging --v=1 --vmodule=*/dual_engine/*"
- This will create a log in "%localappdata%\microsoft\Edge<Canary/Dev/Beta>\user data\chrome_debug.log"
- The log is human readable and will contain URLs. Please proof read to ensure there is no PII information included before you share back with us.
Hi Shilpa_Subramanian
Could you keep us informed on if you have been able to reproduce this problem and subsequently it's status for fixing it?Thanks! Marco

Moaske UmutG Thanks for your patience. We've made some improvements in the IE code for this issue. Internet Explorer fixes will ship as part of the OS update early next year. In the meantime, can you validate on the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview builds - https://insider.windows.com/en-us/how-to-pc/#install-windows-10-insider-preview.
Hi Shilpa_Subramanian Would using the IE Mode testmode be enough to test this? I guess it doesn't make a difference how/why IE Mode was triggered, right? (got some policy issues on the work machine and of course it doesn't have and Insider build).
My Insider machine is on the very latest build right now
Shilpa_Subramanian Thanks for your reply, i've sent you a private message containing the urls and debug log files.
