Microsoft Edge works with Group Policy and Microsoft Intune to help you manage your organization's computer settings. Group Policy objects (GPO's) can include registry-based Administrative Template policy settings, security settings, software deployment information, scripts, folder redirection, and preferences.
By using Group Policy and Intune, you can set up a policy setting once, and then copy that setting onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a GPO that's linked to a domain, and then apply all of those settings to every computer in the domain.
<p>**Note**<br>For more info about Group Policy, see the [Group Policy TechCenter](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=214514). This site provides links to the latest technical documentation, videos, and downloads for Group Policy.

If you have specific web sites and apps that you know have compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge, you can use the Enterprise Mode site list so that the web sites will automatically open using Internet Explorer 11. Additionally, if you know that your intranet sites aren't going to work properly with Microsoft Edge, you can set all intranet sites to automatically open using IE11.
Using Enterprise Mode means that you can continue to use Microsoft Edge as your default browser, while also ensuring that your apps continue working on IE11.

# Browser cache changes and roaming profiles
We’ve redesigned the browser cache to improve the performance, flexibility, reliability, and scalability of Internet Explorer and the apps that rely on the Windows Internet (WinINet) cache. Our new database design stops multiple clients from simultaneously accessing and using cached information, while also providing a higher level of data integrity.
You won’t notice any changes to the management of your roaming profile data if you use our new database implementation in conjunction with the [roaming user profile guidelines](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=401544). This means that IE data that’s stored in the `AppData\Roaming` user profile folder is still be uploaded to your normal profile storage location after a user successfully logs off.<p>**Note**<br>Cookies in a roaming profile can only be set by Internet Explorer for the desktop, with Enhanced Protected Mode turned off. Cookies set by the immersive version of IE or by Windows Store apps, can’t be part of a roaming profile. For more information about persistent cookies and roaming, see [Persistent cookies are not roamed in Internet Explorer](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=401545).

## What is document mode?
Each release after Internet Explorer 8 has helped with the transition by introducing additional document modes that emulated previously supported versions, while also introducing support for features defined by industry standards. During this time, numerous websites and apps were updated to the latest and greatest industry standards, while many other sites and apps continued to simply rely on document modes to work properly.

Enterprises can have critical apps that are coded explicitly for a specific browser version and that might not be in their direct control, making it very difficult and expensive to update to modern standards or newer browser versions. Because you can decide which URLs should open using specific document modes, this update helps ensure better compatibility, faster upgrades, and reduced testing and fixing costs.
## How does this fix work?
You can continue to use your legacy and orphaned web apps, by specifying a document mode in the centralized Enterprise Mode site list. Then, when IE11 goes to a site on your list, the browser loads the page in the specified document mode just as it would if it were specified through an X-UA-Compatible meta tag on the site. For more information about document modes and X-UA-compatible headers, see [Defining document compatibility](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=518412).

To help you move forward, you can now use the Enterprise Mode site list to specify sites or web paths to use the IE7 document mode, which goes down to IE5 “Quirks” mode if the page doesn’t have an explicit `DOCTYPE` tag. Using this document mode effectively helps you provide the Compatibility View functionality for single sites or a group of sites, which after thorough testing, can help you turn off Compatibility View as the default setting for your intranet sites.

Unfortunately, because many ActiveX controls aren’t automatically updated, they can become outdated as new versions are released. It’s very important that you keep your ActiveX controls up-to-date because malicious software (or malware) can target security flaws in outdated controls, damaging your computer by collecting info from it, installing unwanted software, or by letting someone else control it remotely. To help avoid this situation, IE includes a new security feature, called <em>out-of-date ActiveX control blocking</em>. |

To fix this, you need to update the affected settings using Group Policy preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), or the IEAK 11.<p>Because Group Policy Preferences and IEAK 11 run using asynchronous processes, you should choose to use only one of the tools within each group of settings. For example, using only IEAK 11 in the <b>Security</b> settings or Group Policy Preferences within the <b>Internet Zone</b> settings.

As a result, IE11 simplifies web page compatibility for users by removing the <b>Compatibility View</b> button and reducing the number of compatibility options in the F12 developer tools for developers. |

# Install Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and your Windows images
You can install Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and your Windows images.
You'll need to extract the .cab file for each supported operating system and platform combination and the .msu file for each prerequisite update. Download the IE11 update and prerequisites here:
- [Microsoft Download Center](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=279697)

- [Microsoft Update Catalog](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=214287)
- [Microsoft Update Catalog](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214287)
After you install the .msu file updates, you'll need to add them to your MDT deployment. You'll also need to extract the IE11 .cab update file from the IE11 installation package, using the `/x` command-line option. For example, `IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe /x:c:\ie11cab`.

MDT adds IE11 to your Windows images, regardless whether you are creating or deploying a customized or non-customized image. MDT also lets you perform offline servicing during the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager task sequence, letting you add IE11 before starting Windows.

**To add IE11 to a MDT deployment share**
1. Right-click **Packages** from each **Deployment Shares** location, and then click **Import OS Packages**.
2. Go to the **Specify Directory** page, search for your folder with your update files (.cab and .msu) for import, and click **Next**.
3. Go to the **Summary** page and click **Next**.
MDT starts importing your update files.
**Note**  
Ignore any warnings that say, "Skipping invalid CAB file". This shows up because the **Import OS Packages** wizard skips the IE11\_Support.cab file, which isn't an actual update file.

# Intranet problems with Internet Explorer 11
You might experience the following issues with your intranet site, after upgrading to the latest version of Internet Explorer.
# Fix intranet search problems with Internet Explorer 11
After upgrading to Internet Explorer 11, you might experience search issues while using your intranet site.
## Why is my intranet redirecting me to search results?
Internet Explorer 11 works differently with search, based on whether your organization is domain-joined.
IE11 works differently with search, based on whether your organization is domain-joined.
- **Domain-joined computers.** A single word entry is treated as a search term. However, IE11 also checks for available intranet sites and offers matches through the **Notification bar**. If you select **Yes** from the **Notification bar** to navigate to the intranet site, IE11 associates that word with the site so that the next time you type in the intranet site name, inline auto-complete will resolve to the intranet site address.
- **Non-domain-joined computers.** A single word entry is treated as an intranet site. However, if the term doesn't resolve to a site, IE11 then treats the entry as a search term and opens your default search provider.
To explicitly go to an intranet site, regardless of the environment, users can type either a trailing slash, like" contoso/", or the http:// prefix. Either of these will cause IE11 to treat the entry as an intranet search.
To explicitly go to an intranet site, regardless of the environment, users can type either a trailing slash like ` contoso/` or the `http://` prefix. Either of these will cause IE11 to treat the entry as an intranet search. You can also change the default behavior so that IE11 treats your single word entry in the address bar as an intranet site, regardless of your environment.

2. Click **Advanced**, check the **Go to an intranet site for a single word entry in the Address bar** box, and then click **OK**.

Description: 'The Internet Explorer Maintenance (IEM) settings have been deprecated in favor of Group Policy Preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), and the IE Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11).Because of this change, your IEM-configured settings will no longer work on computers running Internet Explorer 10 or newer. To fix this, you need to update the affected settings using Group Policy Preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), or IE Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11).Because Group Policy Preferences and IEAK 11 run using asynchronous processes, you should choose to use only one of the tools within each group of settings. For example, using only IEAK 11 in the Security settings or Group Policy Preferences within the Internet Zone settings. Also, it''s important to remember that policy is enforced and can''t be changed by the user, while preferences are configured, but can be changed by the user.'

# Missing the Compatibility View Button
**Last updated**

Thanks to these changes, using Internet Explorer 11 in the latest standards mode is more compatible with the web than ever before. As a result, IE11 simplifies web page compatibility for users by removing the **Compatibility View** button and reducing the number of compatibility options in the F12 developer tools for developers.
## What happened to the Compatibility View button?
In previous versions of IE, the **Compatibility View** button would attempt to fix a broken standards-based website, by getting the page to appear like it did in Internet Explorer 7. Today however, more standards-based websites are broken by attempting to appear like they did in Internet Explorer 7. So instead of implementing and using Compatibility View, developers are updating their server configuration to add X-UA-Compatible meta tags, which forces the content to the “edge”, making the **Compatibility View** button disappear. In support of these changes, the Compatibility View button has been completely removed for IE11.
## What if I still need Compatibility View?
There might be extenuating circumstances in your company, which require you to continue to use Compatibility View. In this situation, this process should be viewed strictly as a workaround. You should work with the website vendor to make sure that the affected pages are updated to match the latest web standards. The functionality described here is currently deprecated and will be removed at a time in the future.
**Important**  
This functionality is only available in Internet Explorer for the desktop.

# .NET Framework problems with Internet Explorer 11
If you’re having problems launching your legacy apps while running Internet Explorer 11, it’s most likely because Internet Explorer no longer starts apps that use managed browser hosting controls, like in .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0.

Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking also gives you a security warning that tells you if a webpage tries to launch specific outdated apps, outside of IE:
![warning about outdated activex controls outside ie](images/ieoutdatedcontroloutsideofie.png)
## How do I fix an outdated ActiveX control or app?
From the notification about the outdated ActiveX control, you can go to the control’s website to download its latest version.

## How does IE decide which ActiveX controls to block?
IE uses Microsoft’s versionlist.xml file to determine whether an ActiveX control should be stopped from loading. This file is updated with newly-discovered out-of-date ActiveX controls, which IE automatically downloads to your local copy of the file.
You can see your copy of the versionlist.xml file here `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\VersionManager\versionlist.xml`, or you can view Microsoft’s version at [Internet Explorer version list](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=403864).
You can see your copy of the versionlist.xml file here `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\VersionManager\versionlist.xml`, or you can view Microsoft’s version at [Internet Explorer version list](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=403864).
**Security Note:  **
Although we strongly recommend against it, if you don’t want your computer to automatically download the updated version list from Microsoft, run the following command from a command prompt:
`reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\VersionManager" /v DownloadVersionList /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f`
**Security Note:**<br>Although we bly recommend against it, if you don’t want your computer to automatically download the updated version list from Microsoft, run the following command from a command prompt:
```
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\VersionManager" /v DownloadVersionList /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
```
Turning off this automatic download breaks the out-of-date ActiveX control blocking feature by not letting the version list update with newly outdated controls, potentially compromising the security of your computer. Use this configuration option at your own risk.

Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking includes 4 new Group Policy settings that you can use to manage your web browser configuration, based on your domain controller. You can download the administrative templates, including the new settings, from the [Administrative Templates for Internet Explorer](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=444484) page.

# Problems after installing Internet Explorer 11
After you install Internet Explorer 11 in your organization, you might run into the following issues. By following these suggestions, you should be able to fix them.
## Internet Explorer is in an unusable state
If IE11 gets into an unusable state on an employee's computer, you can use the **Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES)** feature to restore the default settings for many of the browser features, including:
- Search scopes

RIES turns off all custom toolbars, browser extensions, and customizations installed with IE11. If you change your mind, you can turn each of the customizations back on through the **Manage Add-ons** dialog box. For more information about resetting IE settings, see [How to Reset Internet Explorer Settings](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=214528).

For more information about resetting IE settings, see [How to Reset Internet Explorer Settings](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214528).
## IE is crashing or seems slow
If you notice that CPU usage is running higher than normal, or that IE is frequently crashing or slowing down, you should check your browser add-ons and video card. By default, IE11 uses graphics processing unit (GPU) rendering mode. However, some outdated video cards and video drivers don't support GPU hardware acceleration. If IE11 determines that your current video card or video driver doesn't support GPU hardware acceleration, it'll use Software Rendering mode.
![](../common/wedge.gif)**To check your browser add-ons**
**To check your browser add-ons**
1. Start IE11 in **No Add-ons mode** by running the **Run** command from the **Start** menu, and then typing **iexplore.exe -extoff** into the box.

If the browser doesn't crash, open Internet Explorer for the desktop, click the **Tools** menu, and click **Manage Add-ons**.
3. Click **Toolbars and Extensions**, click each toolbar or extension, clicking **Disable** to turn off all of the browser extensions and toolbars.

4. Restart IE11. Go back to the **Manage Add-Ons** window and turn on each item, one-by-one.<p>
After you turn each item back on, see if IE crashes or slows down. Doing it this way will help you identify the add-on that's causing IE to crash. After you've figured out which add-on was causing the problem, turn it off until you have an update from the manufacturer.

2. On the **Advanced** tab, go to the **Accelerated graphics** section, and then turn on Software Rendering mode by choosing the **Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering** box.
If the **Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering** option is greyed out, it means that your current video card or video driver doesn't support GPU hardware acceleration. For more information, see [Is Internet Explorer slow? 5 things to try](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=214531).

## Adaptive streaming and DRM playback don’t work with Windows Server 2012 R2
IE11 in Windows Server 2012 R2 doesn’t include media features like adaptive streaming or Digital Rights Management (DRM) playback. To add these features, you’ll need to download and install the Media Feature Pack from the [Microsoft Download Center](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=320789), as well as an app that uses PlayReady DRM from the Windows Store, such as the Xbox Music app or Xbox Video app. The app must be installed to specifically turn on DRM features, while all other media features are installed with the Media Feature Pack.

Using Group Policy, you can turn on Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer and then you can turn on local user control using the **Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu** setting, located in the Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Internet Explorer category path. After you turn this setting on, your users can turn on Enterprise Mode locally, from the IE **Tools** menu.

## Using ASP to collect your data
When you turn logging on, you need a valid URL that points to a server that can be listened to for updates to a user’s registry key. This means you need to set up an endpoint server for the incoming POST messages, which are sent every time the user turns Enterprise Mode on or off from the **Tools** menu.
![](../common/wedge.gif)**To set up an endpoint server**
**To set up an endpoint server**
1. Configure an IIS server to work with your Enterprise Mode data collection process. If you’re unsure how to set up IIS, see the [IIS installation webpage](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=507609).

## Using the GitHub sample to collect your data
Microsoft has created the [EMIE-Data\_Collection\_Sample](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=507401) that shows how to collect your Enterprise Mode reports. This sample only shows how to collect data, it doesn’t show how to aggregate the data into your Enterprise Mode site list.

This sample starts with you turning on Enterprise Mode and logging (either through Group Policy, or by manually setting the EnterpriseMode registry key) so that your users can use Enterprise Mode locally. For the steps to do this, go to [Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode](turn-on-local-control-and-logging-for-enterprise-mode.md).
**Note**  
If you decide to manually change the registry key, you can change the **Enable** setting to `[deployment url]/api/records/`, which automatically sends your reports to this page.

### Setting up, collecting, and viewing reports
For logging, you’re going to need a valid URL that points to a server that can be listened to for updates to a user’s registry key. This means you need to set up an endpoint server for the incoming POST messages, which are sent every time the user turns Enterprise Mode on or off from the **Tools** menu. These POST messages go into your database, aggregating the report data by URL, giving you the total number of reports where users turned on Enterprise Mode, the total number of reports where users turned off Enterprise Mode, and the date of the last report.

# Setup problems with Internet Explorer 11
Installing Internet Explorer creates the following log files, which are stored in the Windows installation folder (typically, the C:\\Windows folder):
- IE11\_main.log
- `IE11_main.log`
- IE11\_NR\_Setup.log
- `IE11_NR_Setup.log`
- IE11\_uninst.log
- `IE11_uninst.log`
- cbs\*.log
- `cbs*.log`
- WU\_ IE11\_LangPacks.log
- `WU_ IE11_LangPacks.log`
These log files continuously record the entire process from the moment the IE setup program starts running until the last .cab file is downloaded, including error codes. The possible error codes are:

Computers running localized versions of Windows should run the same version of IE11. For example, if your employees use the Spanish edition of Windows, you should deploy the Spanish version of IE11. On the other hand, if your employees use multiple localized versions of Windows, like Spanish, French, and Catalan, you should install IE11 in one of the languages, and then install language packs for the others.

If your company is considering upgrading to the latest version of Internet Explorer, but is hesitant because of a large number of web apps that need to be tested and moved, we recommend that you consider virtualization. Virtualization lets you set up a virtual environment where you can run earlier versions of IE.
**Important**  
We strongly suggest that while you're using virtualization, you also update your web apps so they run natively in the newer version of IE. For more information about how to update your code, see the [Internet Explorer 11 Compatibility Cookbook (Windows)](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=279707) to learn about the developer features that have been changed or deprecated since Internet Explorer 10.

The Microsoft-supported options for virtualizing web apps are:
- **Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V).** Uses Microsoft Virtual PC to provide an enterprise solution for desktop virtualization.

You can install IE11 on computers running either Windows 7 with SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1. To download IE11, see the IE11[home page](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=290956).

**Q: How does IE11 integrate with Windows 8.1?**<br>
IE11 is the default handler for the HTTP and HTTPS protocols and the default browser for Windows 8.1. There are two experiences in Windows 8.1: Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop. IE is the default browser for touch-first, immersive experiences. Internet Explorer for the desktop provides a more traditional window and tab management experience. The underlying platform of IE11 is fully interoperable across both IE and the familiar Internet Explorer for the desktop, letting developers write the same markup for both experiences.
**What are the new or improved security features?**
**Q: What are the new or improved security features?**<br>
IE11 offers improvements to Enhanced Protected Mode, password manager, and other security features. IE11 also turns on Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 by default.
**How is Microsoft supporting modern web standards, such as WebGL?**
Microsoft is committed to providing an interoperable web by supporting modern web standards. Doing this lets developers use the same markup across web browsers, helping to reduce development and support costs.

**Q: Why am I having problems launching my legacy apps with Internet Explorer 11**?<br>
It’s most likely because IE no longer starts apps that use managed browser hosting controls, like in the .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0. You can get IE11 to use managed browser hosting controls again, by:
- **For x86 systems or for 32-bit processes on x64 systems:** Go to the HKLM/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/.NETFramework registry key and change the EnableIEHosting value to 1.
- **For x86 systems or for 32-bit processes on x64 systems:** Go to the `HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\.NETFramework` registry key and change the **EnableIEHosting** value to **1**.

For more information, see [Browsing Without Plug-ins](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=242587).
