Internet Explorer Mode broken in Edge Dev Version 80.0.361.9
GreatToHearFromYou dmcaylor There is a known issue being worked on right now which casues IE not to validate a Microsoft signature on a dll shipped with Edge. If you are affected by this bug, you will be find a Microsoft certificate in the "Trusted Publishers" folder in certmgr.msc that matches the one Edge is being signed with. The workaround would be to remove this cert from Trusted Publishers until we get a fix out.

Hi, I have not found a solution yet. I have tried several versions of Windows 10 with different versions of Edge Beta. I'll make sure I have the newest version out there and try again. One thing I found is that if I remove IE 11, then nothing opens. If I have IE 11 installed, it opens in a completely new window, but the error still pops up. Very strange. I almost wonder if there is another GPO that is messing with it.....
Thanks for your reply! Yes, IE11 is definitely needed in able to have IE Mode run properly in Edge. Edge doesn't have the IE engine built-in, it uses it from the installed IE11. So yes, you do have exact the same problem, IE pops out in a new Window and Edge shows the "administrator privileges" message, neither one should happen. Did you ever got it working properly before, or did you always have this problem? When testing it on a Windows 7 computer (even though we're phasing them out right now) I see an IE Error that requires to close the program, see print screen below. This happens before receiving the "administrator privileges" message. Only when I click "Close the program" the "administrator privileges" message appears in Edge and IE opens in a new windows instead of within Edge. That made me wonder if the same error happens in Windows 10, but get suppressed and sure enough, when checking the Event Viewer, I saw the error in the print screen below. Now I will have to concentrate on that error to see what that is all about.
Thanks for the info! I did not know about IE needing to stay on there. I was hoping I would be able to remove it once I roll out Edge just to make it cleaner and so nobody uses it anymore unless it's needed for compatibility. : )
All of my testing has been with Windows 10 to this point. I could try to spin up a Windows 7, but it sounds like you already verified it's the same issue. I'll put IE back on my test machines and install the latest version of Edge Dev too. Right now I am only setting 2 things in group policy under the computer config. Just the IE integration setting and then the setting for sending all intranet sites to IE.
I'll keep playing, but thanks for all the info.
