This video demonstrates how to enable IE mode in Microsoft Edge settings:

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  1. 1. Open Edge Settings:
    In the Microsoft Edge browser, click on the three dots (Settings and more) in the top-right corner and then select "Settings". 
  2. 2. Navigate to Default Browser:
    Click on "Default browser" in the left-hand menu. 
  3. 3. Enable IE Mode:
    Locate the "Internet Explorer compatibility" section and find the option "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode". Click on the dropdown menu and select "Allow". 
  4. 4. Restart Edge:
    A prompt will appear asking you to restart Edge. Click "Restart" to complete the process. 
  5. 5. Reload in IE Mode:
    After restarting, you can reload a page in IE mode by clicking the three dots (Settings and more), then "More tools," and finally "Reload in Internet Explorer mode". 
    • Alternatively, right-click on the tab and choose "Reload in Internet Explorer mode". 
    Important Considerations:
    • When to use IE mode: Only use IE mode when a website requires it for compatibility, as modern browsers like Edge offer better performance and security. 
    • Testing: If you're developing or testing a website, ensure it renders correctly in IE mode, as there might be differences in CSS, layout, and JavaScript compared to standard Edge rendering. 
    • ActiveX controls: Test any ActiveX components thoroughly, as their behavior might differ in IE mode. 
    • Document modes: Ensure sites render in the correct IE document mode. 
    • Pop-ups and dialogs: Verify that all pop-up windows and dialogs function correctly in IE mode. 
    • Legacy scripts: Test any older JavaScript or DOM manipulation methods carefully, as they might behave differently in IE mode.
