How to use Internet Explorer mode in the Microsoft Edge browser for Windows 11

3. If you’re prompted to restart the browser, click Restart.

4. If you’re using a website in the Edge browser and you want to switch to Internet Explorer mode, click the Options  button and select  Reload in Internet Explorer mode.

NOTE: The AbilityNet site, like most modern websites, will work better in the Edge browser’s standard mode than in Internet Explorer mode. Only switch to Internet Explorer mode if a site or tool or its features aren’t working.

5. When you reload a web page in Internet Explorer mode, you’ll get a warning message. You can close the message or click Open in Microsoft Edge to return to Microsoft Edge’s standard mode. Click Show in toolbar to add an Exit button to the toolbar. Clicking this will switch back to Edge's normal mode, or you can click the Options button and select Exit Internet Explorer mode.

6. You can also add websites or web pages  to Internet Explorer mode so that they load in it automatically. They will only do so for the next 30 days. Click the Options  button then Settings then Default Browser. Click the Add button next to Internet Explorer mode pages.

7. Enter the web address of the site or page, including the HTTP:// or HTTPS:// prefix. Click Add and the site will be added to the Page list.

Note: If this does not work it could be because your computer settings are managed by someone else (an IT department or administrator for example). If so, you will need to contact them to access these settings or for help.
