New versions of Edge allow using a simplified process:

  1. Start Edge > Menu in top bar ...  > Settings > Default Browser  (shortcut: go to edge://settings/defaultBrowser )
  2. Change setting Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode > Allow
  3. Restart the Browser
  4. Add URLs to the list for Internet Explorer mode pages > Add
  5. The whole AccessPoint will have to be opened in IE-mode. Add the access point URL (e.g.: http://localhost/qlikview/index.htm)
  6. Notethis list will need to be updated every 30 days. At the end of that period, users will be prompted to add back the page to the list.
  7. check with your IT Policies administrators for possible ways of automating the process above for all users
  8. Note: if the "Old process" (see below) had previously been applied, those changes will need to be reverted:
    1. Start Group Policy Editor
