Internet Explorer is no longer supported as of June 15 2022 as the new Windows web browser is Microsoft Edge. There are still many sites that require the use of Internet Explorer due to their infrastructure and integration with the old browser. Microsoft has integrated Internet Explorer into Edge so that the sites that need it can be fully functional. This article will show you how to add websites to a list that automatically open them in Internet Explorer.


1. Go to your URL address bar and type: edge://settings/defaultBrowser




Note: Some versions of Windows 10 will still have Internet Explorer installed as a separate application due to Microsoft Edge being integrated with the operating system. Older systems will have Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge separate.


2. Select Allow for "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode(IE mode)". Your browser will reset for the changes to take effect.



3. Copy the URL address of the webpage and add it to the Internet Explorer mode pages.


Note: Websites only stay on the list for 1 month and must be re-added.


4. Refresh the page and the added website(s) will automatically open in IE mode. 


Note: Some websites are not compatible with IE mode.
