Microsoft developed Edge to supersede Internet Explorer. IE will officially be retired and no longer supported by Microsoft as of June 15, 2022.

You can use the same apps in Microsoft Edge as you would Internet Explorer. However, Microsoft has included an Internet Explorer Mode for Edge for organizations that need backward compatibility with IE. By enabling the Internet Explorer Mode, you will have the backward compatibility you need but also all the benefits of running a modern browser (Edge).

The following tutorial demonstrates how to enable/disable Reload in Internet Explorer Mode when using the Microsoft Edge browser.
