Refresh Enterprise Mode Site List

If there is a new version of the Enterprise Mode Site List (XML) available, how is the update process in Edge C to that? In MSIE we had to wait 65 seconds after start of MSIE and in Edge there is an "Force Update" button. But how to refresh in Edge C?

    stesch79  At the moment, you will need to wait the 65 seconds and restart the Edge browser for the site list XML to reflect changes.

    We are working towards a better experience for this. Thanks for the feedback!

      Wouldn't it make sense to have it try to get a file right away when there is nothing in cache?  The EntMode not kicking in right away is an issue on terminal servers where the profile doesn't roam and main sites accessed need to be told IE. Thanks! Shilpa_Subramanian

        jeffj I'm sorry I did not circle back. If you go to edge://compat/enterprise, there is now a Force Update button that will refresh XML changes instantly. Hope that helps!

      ist there a way to force EDGE to update the Site List.xml  throug cmd? (Command Processor Software)

      This would be a easy way to get EDGE update the list and build a (for example) .bat file and let this run on logon.

        Reviving this thread.  Anyone have any luck getting this to work w/o having to manually "Force update"?

         

        I'm on the latest version of Edge, Version 108.0.1462.76, and it's doing what the OP described.  It doesn't remember the site list after closing an Edge session.

    Hi All, Enterprise mode site list is not refreshing automatically in EDGE Browser. Only after clicking 'Force Update' site is updating. This should be automatically carried out. Any solution?

      Shilpa_Subramanian, Could you please shed some light on this issue? After force update only, I can see the list. This is not happening automatically. also, this is annoying for users as well.

      Any solution to overcome this?

        NConnects Hello!  Did the automatic refresh not working issue start recently?  Did the behavior change coincide with a MS Edge version update?  Also, can you share what version of MS Edge you are using that reproduces the issue? 

         

        Let us know and I can check with the team.  Thanks!

    Any news on this one? I am just now coming across this issue with brand new machines. Every time we go to Edge, we must force update for the correct list to populate.

    Thanks for your time!

    One recent discovery one of our techs made was that the intranet site we hosted the XML on was using Windows Logon (default from parent site). Usually this would not be an issue, but did seem to be when he navigated directly to the URL and was challenged. I change to anonymous. You may want to check the security around your XML.
