# Microsoft Edge system and language requirements
>Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
Microsoft Edge is the new, default web browser for Windows 10, helping you to experience modern web standards, better performance, improved security, and increased reliability. Microsoft Edge lets you stay up-to-date through the Microsoft Store and to manage your enterprise through Group Policy or your mobile device management (MDM) tools.
>[!IMPORTANT]
>The Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2016, don’t include Microsoft Edge or many other Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. Systems running the LTSB operating systems do not support these apps because their services get frequently updated with new functionality. For customers who require the LTSB for specialized devices, we recommend using Internet Explorer 11.
## Minimum system requirements
Some of the components might also need additional system resources. Check the component's documentation for more information.

## Supported languages
Microsoft Edge supports all of the same languages as Windows 10 and you can use the [Microsoft Translator extension](https://www.microsoft.com/p/translator-for-microsoft-edge/9nblggh4n4n3) to translate foreign language web pages and text selections for 60+ languages.
If the extension does not work after install, restart Microsoft Edge. If the extension still does not work, provide feedback through the Feedback Hub.

# Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge
> Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
You can customize your organization’s browser settings in Microsoft Edge with Group Policy or Microsoft Intune, or other MDM service. When you do this, you set the policy once and then copy it onto many computers—that is, touch once, configure many. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a Group Policy Object (GPO) linked to a domain, and then apply those settings to every computer in the domain.
Other policy settings in Microsoft Edge include allowing Adobe Flash content to play automatically, provision a favorites list, set default search engine, and more. You configure a Group Policy setting in the Administrative Templates folders, which are registry-based policy settings that Group Policy enforces. Group Policy stores these settings in a specific registry location, which users cannot change. Also, Group Policy-aware Windows features and applications look for these settings in the registry, and if found the policy setting gets used instead of the regular settings.
**_You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor:_**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Microsoft Edge\\*
When you edit a Group Policy setting, you have the following configuration options:
- **Enabled** - writes the policy setting to the registry with a value that enables it.
- **Disabled** - writes the policy setting to the registry with a value that disables it.
- **Not configured** - leaves the policy setting undefined. Group Policy does not write the policy setting to the registry and has no impact on computers or users.
Some policy settings have additional options you can configure. For example, if you want to set the default search engine, set the Start page, or configure the Enterprise Mode Site List, you would type the URL.

# Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge
> Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
You can customize your organization’s browser settings in Microsoft Edge with Group Policy or Microsoft Intune, or other MDM service. When you do this, you set the policy once and then copy it onto many computers—that is, touch once, configure many. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a Group Policy Object (GPO) linked to a domain, and then apply those settings to every computer in the domain.
Other policy settings in Microsoft Edge include allowing Adobe Flash content to play automatically, provision a favorites list, set default search engine, and more. You configure a Group Policy setting in the Administrative Templates folders, which are registry-based policy settings that Group Policy enforces. Group Policy stores these settings in a specific registry location, which users cannot change. Also, Group Policy-aware Windows features and applications look for these settings in the registry, and if found the policy setting gets used instead of the regular settings.
**_You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor:_**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Microsoft Edge\\*
When you edit a Group Policy setting, you have the following configuration options:
- **Enabled** - writes the policy setting to the registry with a value that enables it.
- **Disabled** - writes the policy setting to the registry with a value that disables it.
- **Not configured** - leaves the policy setting undefined. Group Policy does not write the policy setting to the registry and has no impact on computers or users.
Some policy settings have additional options you can configure. For example, if you want to set the default search engine, set the Start page, or configure the Enterprise Mode Site List, you would type the URL.

# Change history for Microsoft Edge
Discover what's new and updated in the Microsoft Edge for both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.
#### [2018](#tab/2018/)
## October 2018
The Microsoft Edge team introduces new group policies and MDM settings for Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. The new policies let you enable/disable
full-screen mode, printing, favorites bar, saving history. You can also prevent certificate error overrides, and configure the New Tab page, Home button, and startup options, as well as manage extensions.
We have discontinued the **Configure Favorites** group policy, so use the [Provision Favorites](available-policies.md#provision-favorites) policy instead.

# Favorites
You can customize the favorites bar, for example, you can turn off features such as Save a Favorite and Import settings, and hide or show the favorites bar on all pages.

# Interoperability and enterprise mode guidance
Microsoft Edge is the default browser experience for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. However, Microsoft Edge lets you continue to use IE11 for sites that are on your corporate intranet or included on your Enterprise Mode Site List. If you are running web apps that continue to use ActiveX controls, x-ua-compatible headers, or legacy document modes, you need to keep running them in IE11. IE11 offers additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and modern standards support.
>[!TIP]
>If you are running an earlier version of Internet Explorer, we recommend upgrading to IE11, so that any legacy apps continue to work correctly.
**Technology not supported by Microsoft Edge**
- ActiveX controls
- Browser Helper Objects
- VBScript
- x-ua-compatible headers
- \<meta\> tags
- Legacy document modes
If you have specific websites and apps that you know have compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge, you can use the Enterprise Mode site list so that the websites automatically open using Internet Explorer 11. Additionally, if you know that your intranet sites aren't going to work correctly with Microsoft Edge, you can set all intranet sites to open using IE11 automatically.
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.

# Security and privacy
Microsoft Edge is designed with improved security in mind, helping to defend people from increasingly sophisticated and prevalent web-based attacks against Windows. Because Microsoft Edge is designed like a Universal Windows app, changing the browser to an app, it fundamentally changes the process model so that both the outer manager process and the different content processes all live within app container sandboxes.
Microsoft Edge runs in 64-bit not just by default, but anytime it’s running on a 64-bit operating system. Because Microsoft Edge doesn’t support legacy ActiveX controls or 3rd-party binary extensions, there’s no longer a reason to run 32-bit processes on a 64-bit system.
The value of running 64-bit all the time is that it strengthens Windows Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), randomizing the memory layout of the browser processes, making it much harder for attackers to hit precise memory locations. In turn, 64-bit processes make ASLR much more effective by making the address space exponentially larger and, therefore, more difficult for attackers to find sensitive memory components.
For more details on the security features in Microsoft Edge, see [Help protect against web-based security threats](#help-protect-against-web-based-security-threats) below.

## Prevent using Localhost IP address for WebRTC
[!INCLUDE [prevent-localhost-address-for-webrtc-include](../includes/prevent-localhost-address-for-webrtc-include.md)]
## Help protect against web-based security threats
While most websites are safe, some sites have been intentionally designed to steal sensitive and private information or gain access to your system’s resources. You can help protect against threats by using strong security protocols to ensure against such threats.
Thieves use things like _phishing_ attacks to convince someone to enter personal information, such as a banking password, into a website that looks like a legitimate bank but isn't. Attempts to identify legitimate websites through the HTTPS lock symbol and the EV Cert green bar have met with only limited success since attackers are too good at faking legitimate experiences for many people to notice the difference.
Another method thieves often use _hacking_ to attack a system through malformed content that exploits subtle flaws in the browser or various browser extensions. This exploit lets an attacker run code on a device, taking over a browsing session, and perhaps the entire device.
Microsoft Edge addresses these threats to help make browsing the web a safer experience.
| Feature | Description |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **[Windows Hello](https://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/17/making-windows-10-more-personal-and-more-secure-with-windows-hello/)** | Microsoft Edge is the first browser to natively support Windows Hello to authenticate the user and the website with asymmetric cryptography technology, powered by early implementation of the [Web Authentication (formerly FIDO 2.0 Web API) specification](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/). |
| **Microsoft SmartScreen** | Defends against phishing by performing reputation checks on sites visited and blocking any sites that are thought to be a phishing site. SmartScreen also helps to defend against installing malicious software, drive-by attacks, or file downloads, even from trusted sites. Drive-by attacks are malicious web-based attacks that compromise your system by targeting security vulnerabilities in commonly used software and may be hosted on trusted sites. |
| **Certificate Reputation system** | Collects data about certificates in use, detecting new certificates and flagging fraudulent certificates automatically, and sends the data to Microsoft. The systems and tools in place include<ul><li>Certificate Reputation system: Protects users from fraudulent certificates.</li><li>Bing Webmaster Tools (for developers): Reports fake certificates directly to Microsoft.</li></ul> |
| **Microsoft EdgeHTML and modern web standards** | Microsoft Edge uses Microsoft EdgeHTML as the rendering engine. This engine focuses on modern standards letting web developers build and maintain a consistent site across all modern browsers. It also helps to defend against hacking through these security standards features:<ul><li>Support for the W3C standard for [Content Security Policy (CSP)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/content-Security-Policy), which can help web developers defend their sites against cross-site scripting attacks.</li><li> Support for the [HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/HSTS/) security feature (IETF-standard compliant). HSTS helps ensure that connections to important sites, such as to your bank, are always secured.</li></ul><p>**NOTE:** Both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 support HSTS. |
| **Code integrity and image loading restrictions** | Microsoft Edge content processes support code integrity and image load restrictions, helping to prevent malicious DLLs from loading or injecting into the content processes. Only [properly signed images](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/11/17/microsoft-edge-module-code-integrity/) are allowed to load into Microsoft Edge. Binaries on remote devices (such as UNC or WebDAV) can’t load. |
| **Memory corruption mitigations** | Memory corruption attacks frequently happen to apps written in C or C++ don’t provide safety or buffer overflow protection. When an attacker provides malformed input to a program, the program’s memory becomes corrupt allowing the attacker to take control of the program. Although attackers have adapted and invented new ways to attack, we’ve responded with memory safety defenses, mitigating the most common forms of attack, including and especially [use-after-free (UAF)](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.html) vulnerabilities. |
| **Memory Garbage Collector (MemGC) mitigation** | MemGC replaces Memory Protector and helps to protect the browser from UAF vulnerabilities. MemGC frees up memory from the programmer and automating it. Only freeing memory when the automation detects no references left pointing to a given block of memory. |
| **Control Flow Guard** | Attackers use memory corruption attacks to gain control of the CPU program counter to jump to any code location they want. Control Flow Guard, a Microsoft Visual Studio technology, compiles checks around code that performs indirect jumps based on a pointer. Those jumps get restricted to function entry points with known addresses only making attacker take-overs must more difficult constraining where an attack jumps. |
| **All web content runs in an app container sandbox** | Microsoft Edge takes the sandbox even farther, running its content processes in containers not just by default, but all of the time. Microsoft Edge doesn’t support 3rd party binary extensions, so there is no reason for it to run outside of the container, making Microsoft Edge more secure. |
| **Extension model and HTML5 support** | Microsoft Edge does not support binary extensions because they can bring code and data into the browser’s processes without any protection. So if anything goes wrong, the entire browser itself can be compromised or go down. We encourage everyone to use our scripted HTML5-based extension model. For more info about the new extensions, see the [Microsoft Edge Developer Center](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/extensions/). |
| **Reduced attack surfaces** | Microsoft Edge does not support VBScript, JScript, VML, Browser Helper Objects, Toolbars, ActiveX controls, and [document modes](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/jj676915.aspx). Many IE browser vulnerabilities only appear in legacy document modes, so removing support reduced attack surface making the browser more secure. <p>It also means that it’s not as backward compatible. With this reduced backward compatibility, Microsoft Edge automatically falls back to Internet Explorer 11 for any apps that need backward compatibility. This fall back happens when you use the Enterprise Mode Site List. |

The value of running 64-bit all the time is that it strengthens Windows Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), randomizing the memory layout of the browser processes, making it much harder for attackers to hit precise memory locations. In turn, 64-bit processes make ASLR much more effective by making the address space exponentially larger and, therefore, more difficult for attackers to find sensitive memory components.
For more details on the security features in Microsoft Edge, see [Help protect against web-based security threats](#help-protect-against-web-based-security-threats) below.
You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:

## Help protect against web-based security threats
While most websites are safe, some sites have been intentionally designed to steal sensitive and private information or gain access to your system’s resources. You can help protect against threats by using strong security protocols to ensure against such threats.
Thieves use things like _phishing_ attacks to convince someone to enter personal information, such as a banking password, into a website that looks like a legitimate bank but isn't. Attempts to identify legitimate websites through the HTTPS lock symbol and the EV Cert green bar have met with only limited success since attackers are too good at faking legitimate experiences for many people to notice the difference.
Another method thieves often use _hacking_ to attack a system through malformed content that exploits subtle flaws in the browser or various browser extensions. This exploit lets an attacker run code on a device, taking over a browsing session, and perhaps the entire device.
Microsoft Edge addresses these threats to help make browsing the web a safer experience.
| Feature | Description |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **[Windows Hello](https://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/17/making-windows-10-more-personal-and-more-secure-with-windows-hello/)** | Microsoft Edge is the first browser to natively support Windows Hello to authenticate the user and the website with asymmetric cryptography technology, powered by early implementation of the [Web Authentication (formerly FIDO 2.0 Web API) specification](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/). |
| **Microsoft SmartScreen** | Defends against phishing by performing reputation checks on sites visited and blocking any sites that are thought to be a phishing site. SmartScreen also helps to defend against installing malicious software, drive-by attacks, or file downloads, even from trusted sites. Drive-by attacks are malicious web-based attacks that compromise your system by targeting security vulnerabilities in commonly used software and may be hosted on trusted sites. |
| **Certificate Reputation system** | Collects data about certificates in use, detecting new certificates and flagging fraudulent certificates automatically, and sends the data to Microsoft. The systems and tools in place include<ul><li>Certificate Reputation system: Protects users from fraudulent certificates.</li><li>Bing Webmaster Tools (for developers): Reports fake certificates directly to Microsoft.</li></ul> |
| **Microsoft EdgeHTML and modern web standards** | Microsoft Edge uses Microsoft EdgeHTML as the rendering engine. This engine focuses on modern standards letting web developers build and maintain a consistent site across all modern browsers. It also helps to defend against hacking through these security standards features:<ul><li>Support for the W3C standard for [Content Security Policy (CSP)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/content-Security-Policy), which can help web developers defend their sites against cross-site scripting attacks.</li><li> Support for the [HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/HSTS/) security feature (IETF-standard compliant). HSTS helps ensure that connections to important sites, such as to your bank, are always secured.</li></ul><p>**NOTE:** Both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 support HSTS. |
| **Code integrity and image loading restrictions** | Microsoft Edge content processes support code integrity and image load restrictions, helping to prevent malicious DLLs from loading or injecting into the content processes. Only [properly signed images](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/11/17/microsoft-edge-module-code-integrity/) are allowed to load into Microsoft Edge. Binaries on remote devices (such as UNC or WebDAV) can’t load. |
| **Memory corruption mitigations** | Memory corruption attacks frequently happen to apps written in C or C++ don’t provide safety or buffer overflow protection. When an attacker provides malformed input to a program, the program’s memory becomes corrupt allowing the attacker to take control of the program. Although attackers have adapted and invented new ways to attack, we’ve responded with memory safety defenses, mitigating the most common forms of attack, including and especially [use-after-free (UAF)](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.html) vulnerabilities. |
| **Memory Garbage Collector (MemGC) mitigation** | MemGC replaces Memory Protector and helps to protect the browser from UAF vulnerabilities. MemGC frees up memory from the programmer and automating it. Only freeing memory when the automation detects no references left pointing to a given block of memory. |
| **Control Flow Guard** | Attackers use memory corruption attacks to gain control of the CPU program counter to jump to any code location they want. Control Flow Guard, a Microsoft Visual Studio technology, compiles checks around code that performs indirect jumps based on a pointer. Those jumps get restricted to function entry points with known addresses only making attacker take-overs must more difficult constraining where an attack jumps. |
| **All web content runs in an app container sandbox** | Microsoft Edge takes the sandbox even farther, running its content processes in containers not just by default, but all of the time. Microsoft Edge doesn’t support 3rd party binary extensions, so there is no reason for it to run outside of the container, making Microsoft Edge more secure. |
| **Extension model and HTML5 support** | Microsoft Edge does not support binary extensions because they can bring code and data into the browser’s processes without any protection. So if anything goes wrong, the entire browser itself can be compromised or go down. We encourage everyone to use our scripted HTML5-based extension model. For more info about the new extensions, see the [Microsoft Edge Developer Center](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/extensions/). |
| **Reduced attack surfaces** | Microsoft Edge does not support VBScript, JScript, VML, Browser Helper Objects, Toolbars, ActiveX controls, and [document modes](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/jj676915.aspx). Many IE browser vulnerabilities only appear in legacy document modes, so removing support reduced attack surface making the browser more secure. <p>It also means that it’s not as backward compatible. With this reduced backward compatibility, Microsoft Edge automatically falls back to Internet Explorer 11 for any apps that need backward compatibility. This fall back happens when you use the Enterprise Mode Site List. |

# Managing group policy ADMX files
>Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
ADMX files, which are registry-based policy settings provide an XML-based structure for defining the display of the Administrative Template policy settings in the Group Policy Object Editor. The ADMX files replace ADM files, which used a different markup language.
>[!NOTE]
>The administrative tools you use—Group Policy Object Editor and Group Policy Management Console—remain mostly unchanged. In the majority of situations, you won’t notice the presence of ADMX files during your day-to-day Group Policy administration tasks.
Unlike ADM files, ADMX files are not stored in individual GPOs by default; however, this behavior supports less common scenarios. For domain-based enterprises, you can create a central store location of ADMX files accessible by anyone with permission to create or edit GPOs. Group Policy tools continue to recognize other earlier ADM files you have in your existing environment. The Group Policy Object Editor automatically reads and displays Administrative Template policy settings from both the ADMX and ADM files.
Some situations require a better understanding of how ADMX files are structured and the location of the files. In this article, we show you how ADMX files are incorporated when editing Administrative Template policy settings in a local or domain-based Group Policy object (GPO).

# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for IT Pros
>Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
## How can I get the next major version of Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium?
In December 2018, Microsoft [announced](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/06/microsoft-edge-making-the-web-better-through-more-open-source-collaboration/#8jv53blDvL6TIKuS.97) our intention to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop, to create better web compatibility for our customers and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers. You can get more information at the [Microsoft Edge Insiders site](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/).
## What’s the difference between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11? How do I know which one to use?
Microsoft Edge is the default browser for all Windows 10 devices. It’s built to be highly compatible with the modern web. For some enterprise web apps and a small set of sites that were built to work with older technologies like ActiveX, [you can use Enterprise Mode](emie-to-improve-compatibility.md) to automatically send users to Internet Explorer 11.
For more information on how Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge work together to support your legacy web apps, while still defaulting to the higher security and modern experiences enabled by Microsoft Edge, see [Legacy apps in the enterprise](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/04/07/legacy-web-apps-enterprise/#RAbtRvJSYFaKu2BI.97).
## Does Microsoft Edge work with Enterprise Mode?
[Enterprise Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/enterprise-mode-overview-for-ie11) helps you run many legacy web applications with better backward compatibility. You can configure both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer to use the same Enterprise Mode Site List, switching seamlessly between browsers to support both modern and legacy web apps.
## How do I customize Microsoft Edge and related settings for my organization?
You can use Group Policy or Microsoft Intune to manage settings related to Microsoft Edge, such as security settings, folder redirection, and preferences. See [Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/group-policies/) for a list of policies currently available for Microsoft Edge and configuration information. Note that the preview release of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge might not include management policies or other enterprise functionality; our focus during the preview is modern browser fundamentals.
## Is Adobe Flash supported in Microsoft Edge?
Adobe Flash is currently supported as a built-in feature of Microsoft Edge on PCs running Windows 10. In July 2017, Adobe announced that Flash support will end after 2020. With this change to Adobe support, we’ve started to phase Flash out of Microsoft Edge by adding the [Configure the Adobe Flash Click-to-Run setting group policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/available-policies#configure-the-adobe-flash-click-to-run-setting) - this lets you control which websites can run Adobe Flash content.
To learn more about Microsoft’s plan for phasing Flash out of Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, see [The End of an Era — Next Steps for Adobe Flash](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/07/25/flash-on-windows-timeline/#3Bcc3QjRw0l7XsZ4.97) (blog article).
## Does Microsoft Edge support ActiveX controls or BHOs like Silverlight or Java?
No. Microsoft Edge doesn’t support ActiveX controls and BHOs like Silverlight or Java. If you’re running web apps that use ActiveX controls, x-ua-compatible headers, or legacy document modes, you need to keep running them in IE11. IE11 offers additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and standards support.
## How often will Microsoft Edge be updated?
In Windows 10, we’re delivering Windows as a service, updated on a cadence driven by quality and the availability of new features. Microsoft Edge security updates are released every two to four weeks, while bigger feature updates are included in the Windows 10 releases on a semi-annual cadence.
## How can I provide feedback on Microsoft Edge?
Microsoft Edge is an evergreen browser - we’ll continue to evolve both the web platform and the user interface with regular updates. To send feedback on user experience, or on broken or malicious sites, use the **Send Feedback** option under the ellipses icon (**...**) in the Microsoft Edge toolbar.
## Will Internet Explorer 11 continue to receive updates?
We’re committed to keeping Internet Explorer a supported, reliable, and safe browser. Internet Explorer is still a component of Windows and follows the support lifecycle of the OS on which it’s installed. For details, see [Lifecycle FAQ - Internet Explorer](https://support.microsoft.com/help/17454/). While we continue to support and update Internet Explorer, the latest features and platform updates will only be available in Microsoft Edge.
## How do I find out what version of Microsoft Edge I have?
In the upper right corner of Microsoft Edge, click the ellipses icon (**...**), and then click **Settings**. Look in the **About Microsoft Edge** section to find your version.
## What is Microsoft EdgeHTML?
Microsoft EdgeHTML is the web rendering engine that powers the current Microsoft Edge web browser and Windows 10 web app platform. (As opposed to *Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium*.)

# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for IT Pros
>Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
## How can I get the next major version of Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium?
In December 2018, Microsoft [announced](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/06/microsoft-edge-making-the-web-better-through-more-open-source-collaboration/#8jv53blDvL6TIKuS.97) our intention to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop, to create better web compatibility for our customers and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers. You can get more information at the [Microsoft Edge Insiders site](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/).
## What’s the difference between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11? How do I know which one to use?
Microsoft Edge is the default browser for all Windows 10 devices. It’s built to be highly compatible with the modern web. For some enterprise web apps and a small set of sites that were built to work with older technologies like ActiveX, [you can use Enterprise Mode](emie-to-improve-compatibility.md) to automatically send users to Internet Explorer 11.
For more information on how Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge work together to support your legacy web apps, while still defaulting to the higher security and modern experiences enabled by Microsoft Edge, see [Legacy apps in the enterprise](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/04/07/legacy-web-apps-enterprise/#RAbtRvJSYFaKu2BI.97).
## Does Microsoft Edge work with Enterprise Mode?
[Enterprise Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/enterprise-mode-overview-for-ie11) helps you run many legacy web applications with better backward compatibility. You can configure both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer to use the same Enterprise Mode Site List, switching seamlessly between browsers to support both modern and legacy web apps.
## How do I customize Microsoft Edge and related settings for my organization?
You can use Group Policy or Microsoft Intune to manage settings related to Microsoft Edge, such as security settings, folder redirection, and preferences. See [Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/group-policies/) for a list of policies currently available for Microsoft Edge and configuration information. Note that the preview release of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge might not include management policies or other enterprise functionality; our focus during the preview is modern browser fundamentals.
## Is Adobe Flash supported in Microsoft Edge?
Adobe Flash is currently supported as a built-in feature of Microsoft Edge on PCs running Windows 10. In July 2017, Adobe announced that Flash support will end after 2020. With this change to Adobe support, we’ve started to phase Flash out of Microsoft Edge by adding the [Configure the Adobe Flash Click-to-Run setting group policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/available-policies#configure-the-adobe-flash-click-to-run-setting) - this lets you control which websites can run Adobe Flash content.
To learn more about Microsoft’s plan for phasing Flash out of Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, see [The End of an Era — Next Steps for Adobe Flash](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/07/25/flash-on-windows-timeline/#3Bcc3QjRw0l7XsZ4.97) (blog article).
## Does Microsoft Edge support ActiveX controls or BHOs like Silverlight or Java?
No. Microsoft Edge doesn’t support ActiveX controls and BHOs like Silverlight or Java. If you’re running web apps that use ActiveX controls, x-ua-compatible headers, or legacy document modes, you need to keep running them in IE11. IE11 offers additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and standards support.
## How often will Microsoft Edge be updated?
In Windows 10, we’re delivering Windows as a service, updated on a cadence driven by quality and the availability of new features. Microsoft Edge security updates are released every two to four weeks, while bigger feature updates are included in the Windows 10 releases on a semi-annual cadence.
## How can I provide feedback on Microsoft Edge?
Microsoft Edge is an evergreen browser - we’ll continue to evolve both the web platform and the user interface with regular updates. To send feedback on user experience, or on broken or malicious sites, use the **Send Feedback** option under the ellipses icon (**...**) in the Microsoft Edge toolbar.
## Will Internet Explorer 11 continue to receive updates?
We’re committed to keeping Internet Explorer a supported, reliable, and safe browser. Internet Explorer is still a component of Windows and follows the support lifecycle of the OS on which it’s installed. For details, see [Lifecycle FAQ - Internet Explorer](https://support.microsoft.com/help/17454/). While we continue to support and update Internet Explorer, the latest features and platform updates will only be available in Microsoft Edge.
## How do I find out what version of Microsoft Edge I have?
In the upper right corner of Microsoft Edge, click the ellipses icon (**...**), and then click **Settings**. Look in the **About Microsoft Edge** section to find your version.
## What is Microsoft EdgeHTML?
Microsoft EdgeHTML is the web rendering engine that powers the current Microsoft Edge web browser and Windows 10 web app platform. (As opposed to *Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium*.)

Microsoft Edge does not use a shared folder by default but downloads book files to a per-user folder for each user. With this policy, you can configure Microsoft Edge to store books from the Books Library to a default, shared folder in Windows, which decreases the amount of storage used by book files. When you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge downloads books to a shared folder after user action to download the book to their device, which allows them to remove downloaded books at any time. For this policy to work correctly, you must also enable the **Allow a Windows app to share application data between users** group policy. Also, the users must be signed in with a school or work account.

Microsoft Edge shows the Address bar drop-down list and makes it available by default, which takes precedence over the Configure search suggestions in Address bar policy. We recommend disabling this policy if you want to minimize network connections from Microsoft Edge to Microsoft service, which hides the functionality of the Address bar drop-down list. When you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge also disables the _Show search and site suggestions as I type_ toggle in Settings.

# Troubleshoot Microsoft Edge
## Microsoft Edge and IPv6
We are aware of the known issue with Microsoft Edge and all UWP-based apps, such as Store, Mail, Feedback Hub, and so on. It only happens if you have disabled IPv6 (not recommended), so a temporary workaround is to enable it.
## Microsoft Edge hijacks .PDF and .HTM files
## Citrix Receiver in Microsoft Edge kiosk mode
If you want to deliver applications to users via Citrix through Microsoft Edge, you must create the kiosk user account and then log into the account to install Citrix Receiver BEFORE setting up assigned access.
1. Create the kiosk user account.
2. Log into the account.
3. Install Citrix Receiver.
4. Set up assigned access.
## Missing SettingSync.admx and SettingSync.adml files

Windows PowerShell supports group policy automation of the same tasks you perform in Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) for domain-based group policy objects (GPOs):
- Maintain GPOs (GPO creation, removal, backup, and import)
- Associate GPOs with Active Directory service containers (group policy link creation, update, and removal)
- Set permissions on GPOs
- Modify inheritance flags on Active Directory organization units (OUs) and domains
- Configure registry-based policy settings and group policy preferences registry settings (update, retrieval, and removal)
- Create starter GPOs

# Web Application Compatibility lab kit
>Updated: October, 2017
Upgrading web applications to modern standards is the best long-term solution to ensure compatibility with today’s web browsers, but using backward compatibility can save time and money. Internet Explorer 11 has features that can ease your browser and operating system upgrades, reducing web application testing and remediation costs. On Windows 10, you can standardize on Microsoft Edge for faster, safer browsing and fall back to Internet Explorer 11 just for sites that need backward compatibility.
The Web Application Compatibility Lab Kit is a primer for the features and techniques used to provide web application compatibility during a typical enterprise migration to Microsoft Edge. It walks you through how to configure and set up Enterprise Mode, leverage Enterprise Site Discovery, test web apps using the F12 developer tools, and manage the Enterprise Mode Site List.
The Web Application Compatibility Lab Kit includes:
- A pre-configured Windows 7 and Windows 10 virtual lab environment with:
- Windows 7 Enterprise Evaluation
- Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation (version 1607)
- Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
- Enterprise Site Discovery Toolkit
- A "lite" lab option to run the lab on your own Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating system
- A step-by-step lab guide
- A web application compatibility overview video
- A white paper and IT Showcase studies
Depending on your environment, your web apps may "just work” using the methods described below. Visit [Microsoft Edge Dev](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/) for tools and guidance for web developers.
There are two versions of the lab kit available:
- Full version (8 GB) - includes a complete virtual lab environment
- Lite version (400 MB) - includes guidance for running the Lab Kit on your own Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating system
The Web Application Compatibility Lab Kit is also available in the following languages:
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- French
- German
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- Russian
- Spanish
[DOWNLOAD THE LAB KIT](https://www.microsoft.com/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-web-application-compatibility-lab)

# Use the Settings page to finish setting up the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
The **Settings** page lets anyone with Administrator rights set up groups and roles, set up the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal environment, and choose the freeze dates for production changes.
## Use the Environment settings area
This area lets you specify the location of your production and pre-production environments, where to store your attachments, your settings location, and the website domain for email notifications.
**To add location info**
1. Open the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal and click the **Settings** icon in the upper-right area of the page.
The **Settings** page appears.
2. In the **Environment settings** area of the page, provide the info for your **Pre-production environment**, your **Production environment**, your **Attachments location**, your **Settings location**, and your **Website domain for email notifications**.
3. Click **Credentials** to add the appropriate domain, user name, and password for each location, and then click **OK**.
## Use the Group and role settings area
After you set up your email credentials, you'll be able to add or edit your Group info, along with picking which roles must be Approvers for the group.
**To add a new group and determine the required change request Approvers**
1. Open the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal and click the **Settings** icon in the upper-right area of the page.
The **Settings** page appears.
2. In the **Group and role settings** area of the page, click **Group details**.
The **Add or edit group names** box appears.
3. Click the **Add group** tab, and then add the following info:
- **New group name.** Type name of your new group.
- **Group head email.** Type the email address for the primary contact for the group.
- **Group head name.** This box automatically fills, based on the email address.
- **Active.** Click the check box to make the group active in the system. If you want to keep the group in the system, but you want to prevent access, clear this check box.
4. Click **Save**.
**To set a group's required Approvers**
1. In the **Group and role settings** area of the page, choose the group name you want to update with Approvers from the **Group name** box.
2. In the **Required approvers** area, choose which roles are required to approve a change request for the group. You can choose one or many roles.
- **App Manager.** All employees in the selected group must get change request approval by someone assigned this role.
You can change the name of this role by clicking the pencil icon and providing a new name in the **Edit role name** box.
- **Group Head.** All employees in the selected group must get change request approval by someone assigned this role.
You can change the name of this role by clicking the pencil icon and providing a new name in the **Edit role name** box.
- **Administrator.** All employees in the selected group must get change request approval by someone assigned this role.
## Use the Freeze production changes area
This optional area lets you specify a period when your employees must stop adding changes to the current Enterprise Mode Site List. This must include both a start and an end date.
**To add the start and end dates**

# Create a change request using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Employees assigned to the Requester role can create a change request. A change request is used to tell the Approvers and the Administrator that a website needs to be added or removed from the Enterprise Mode Site List. The employee can navigate to each stage of the process by using the workflow links provided at the top of each page of the portal.
>[!Important]
>Each Requester must have access to a test machine with Administrator rights, letting him or her get to the pre-production environment to make sure that the requested change is correct.
**To create a new change request**
1. The Requester (an employee that has been assigned the Requester role) signs into the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, and clicks **Create new request**.
The **Create new request** page appears.
2. Fill out the required fields, based on the group and the app, including:
- **Group name.** Select the name of your group from the dropdown box.
- **App name.** Type the name of the app you want to add, delete, or update in the Enterprise Mode Site List.
- **Search all apps.** If you can't remember the name of your app, you can click **Search all apps** and search the list.
- **Add new app.** If your app isn't listed, you can click **Add new app** to add it to the list.
- **Requested by.** Automatically filled in with your name.
- **Description.** Add descriptive info about the app.
- **Requested change.** Select whether you want to **Add to EMIE**, **Delete from EMIE**, or **Update to EMIE**.
- **Reason for request.** Select the best reason for why you want to update, delete, or add the app.
- **Business impact (optional).** An optional area where you can provide info about the business impact of this app and the change.
- **App location (URL).** The full URL location to the app, starting with https:// or https://.
- **App best viewed in.** Select the best browser experience for the app. This can be Internet Explorer 5 through Internet Explorer 11 or one of the IE7Enterprise or IE8Enterprise modes.
- **Is an x-ua tag used?** Select **Yes** or **No** whether an x-ua-compatible tag is used by the app. For more info about x-ua-compatible tags, see the topics in [Defining document compatibility](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx).
4. Click **Save and continue** to save the request and get the app info sent to the pre-production environment site list for testing.
A message appears that the request was successful, including a **Request ID** number, saying that the change is being made to the pre-production environment site list.
5. The Requester gets an email with a batch script, that when run, configures their test machine for the pre-production environment, along with the necessary steps to make sure the changed info is correct.
- **If the change is correct.** The Requester asks the approvers to approve the change request by selecting **Successful** and clicking **Send for approval**.
- **If the change is incorrect.** The Requester can rollback the change in pre-production or ask for help from the Administrator.
## Next steps
After the change request is created, the Requester must make sure the suggested changes work in the pre-production environment. For these steps, see the [Verify your changes using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](verify-changes-preprod-enterprise-mode-portal.md) topic.

# Create packages for multiple operating systems or languages
You'll create multiple versions of your custom browser package if:
- You support more than 1 version of Windows®.
- You support more than 1 language.
- You have custom installation packages with only minor differences. Like, having a different phone number.
**To create a new package**
1. Create an installation package using the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11, as described in the [Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) Customization Wizard options](../ie11-ieak/ieak11-wizard-custom-options.md) topic.
2. Go to your **CIE/Custom** folder and rename the `Install.ins`file. For example, if you need a version for employees in Texas, rename the file to Texas.ins.
3. Run the wizard again, using the Custom folder as the destination directory.<p>
**Important**<br>
Except for the **Title bar** text, **Favorites**, **Links bar**, **Home page**, and **Search bar**, keep all of your wizard settings the same for all of your build computers.

# Deploy Internet Explorer 11 using Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS)
You can deploy Internet Explorer 11 to your users' computers by using your custom browser packages and Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS).
## What is Automatic Version Synchronization?
Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS) lets you use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) to synchronize the IE11 setup files on a local computer with the latest setup files on the web.
You must synchronize the setup files at least once on the local computer, for each language and operating system combination, before proceeding through the rest of the wizard. If your packages have more than one version of IE, you need to keep the versions in separate component download folders, which can be pointed to from the **File Locations** page of the IEAK 11. For more information about using the AVS feature, see [Use the Automatic Version Synchronization page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](../ie11-ieak/auto-version-sync-ieak11-wizard.md)

# Deploy Internet Explorer 11 using software distribution tools
If you already manage software distribution and updates on your network through software distribution tools, you can also use these tools for ongoing deployments of Internet Explorer. Software distribution tools include:
- **System Center R2 2012 System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.** Deploy and install Internet Explorer 11 on your user's computers through a software distribution package. For more information about using this tool, see [System Center R2 2012 Configuration Manager](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=276664).
- **Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).** Download a single copy of the IE11 updates, caching them to local servers so your users' computers can receive the updates directly from the WSUS servers, instead of through Windows Update. For more information about using this tool, see [Windows Server Update Services](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=276790).
- **Group Policy Software Installation.** Deploy and install IE11 on your user's computers through a combination of Group Policy and Microsoft Active Directory. For more information about using this tool, see [Group Policy Software Installation overview](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=296365).
- **Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).** Add the IE11 update to your deployment share, using MDT to update your previously-deployed Windows image. For more information about using this tool, see [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=331148).

# Deploy pinned websites using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
You can pin websites to the Windows 8.1 taskbar for quick access. You pin a website simply by dragging its tab to the taskbar. Some websites can also extend the icon’s Jump List.
The ability to pin websites to the Windows 8.1 taskbar can help make end users in businesses more productive. As an IT professional, for example, you can pin intranet and SharePoint websites to the taskbar to make them immediately available to users. In this article, you learn how to deploy pinned websites by using Lite Touch Installation in the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=398474).
## Deploying pinned websites in MDT 2013
This topic requires that you have a complete MDT 2013 deployment share that contains Windows 8.1 which comes with Internet Explorer 11. If you’re deploying to Windows 7 clients and need to learn how to add IE11 to an MDT 2013 deployment share as an update, see [Installing Internet Explorer 11 using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=398475) in the TechNet library.
Deploying pinned websites in MDT 2013 is a 4-step process:
1. Create a .website file for each website that you want to deploy. When you pin a website to the taskbar, Windows 8.1 creates a .website file that describes how the icon should look and feel.
2. Copy the .website files to your deployment share.
3. Copy the .website files to your target computers.
4. Edit the task sequence of your Unattend.xml answer files to pin the websites to the taskbar. In particular, you want to add each .website file to the **TaskbarLinks** item in Unattend.xml during oobeSystem phase. You can add up to six .website files to the **TaskbarLinks** item.
Pinned websites are immediately available to every user who logs on to the computer although the user must click each icon to populate its Jump List.
**Important**<br>
To follow the examples in this topic, you’ll need to pin the Bing (https://www.bing.com/) and MSN (https://www.msn.com/) websites to the taskbar.
### Step 1: Creating .website files
The first step is to create a .website file for each website that you want to pin to the Windows 8.1 taskbar during deployment. A .website file is like a shortcut, except it’s a plain text file that describes not only the website’s URL but also how the icon looks.
**To create each .website file**
1. Open the website in IE11.
2. Drag the website’s tab and drop it on the Windows 8.1 taskbar.
3. Go to `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar` in Windows Explorer, and copy the bing.website and msn.website files to your desktop.
### Step 2: Copying the .website files to the deployment share
Next, you must enable your deployment share to copy the bing.website and msn.website files to the **Start** menu on each target computer.
**To copy .website files to the deployment share**
1. Open your MDT 2013 deployment share in Windows Explorer.
2. In the `$OEM$` folder, create the path `$1\Users\Public\Public Links`. If the `$OEM$` folder doesn’t exist, create it at the root of your deployment share.
3. Copy the bing.website and msn.website files from your desktop to `$OEM$\$1\Users\Public\Public Links` in your deployment share.
### Step 3: Copying .website files to target computers
After your operating system is installed on the target computer, you need to copy the .website files over so they can be pinned to the taskbar.
**To copy .website files to target computers**
1. In the **Deployment Workbench** of MDT 2013, open the deployment share containing the task sequence during which you want to deploy pinned websites, and then click **Task Sequences**.
2. In the right pane of the **Deployment Workbench**, right-click your task sequence (create a new one if you don’t have one yet), and click **Properties**.
3. In the **Task Sequence** tab, click the **Postinstall** folder, click **General** from the **Add** button, and then click **Run Command Line**.
4. Rename the newly created item to *Copy Files* and move it up to the top of the **Postinstall** folder.
5. In the **Command Line** box enter the following text, `xcopy "%DEPLOYROOT%\$OEM$\$1" "%OSDisk%\" /yqe`.
6. Click the **Apply** button to save your changes.
### Step 4: Pinning .website files to the Taskbar
With the .website files ready to copy to the **Public Links** folder on target computers for all users, the last step is to edit the Unattend.xml answer files to pin those .website files to the taskbar. You will need to complete the following steps for each task sequence during which you want to pin these websites to the taskbar.
**To pin .website files to the Taskbar**
1. Open the Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM).
2. On the **OS Info** tab, click **Edit Unattend.xml** to open the Unattend.xml file.
2. In the **Windows Image** pane, under **Components** and then **Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup**, right-click **TaskbarLinks**, and then click **Add Setting to Pass 7 oobeSystem**.
3. In the **TaskbarLinks Properties** pane, add the relative path to the target computer’s (not the deployment share’s) .website files that you created earlier. You can add up to six links to the **TaskbarLinks** item. For example, `%PUBLIC%\Users\Public\Public Links\Bing.website` and `%PUBLIC%\Users\Public\Public Links\MSN.website`
4. On the **File** menu, click **Save Answer File**, and then close Windows SIM.
5. To close the task sequence, click **OK**.
## Updating intranet websites for pinning
The MDT 2013 deployment share and task sequences are now ready to pin websites to the taskbar during deployment. This pinning feature can include intranet sites important in your organization.
You can make your intranet websites act more like applications by extending them to fully support the Windows 8.1 taskbar. This includes creating custom Jump Lists, thumbnail previews, and notifications. For info about extending your intranet websites, see [Pinned Sites Developer Documentation](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=398484) on MSDN. For more ideas about what to pin, see [Add-ons](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=398483) in the Internet Explorer Gallery.

# Deprecated document modes and Internet Explorer 11
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Windows Internet Explorer 8 introduced document modes as a way to move from the proprietary coding of web features to a more standardized type of coding that could run on multiple browsers and devices. Starting with Windows 10, we’re deprecating document modes.
This means that while Internet Explorer 11 will continue to support document modes, Microsoft Edge won’t. And because of that, it also means that if you want to use Microsoft Edge, you’re going to have to update your legacy webpages and apps to support modern features, browsers, and devices.
>**Note**<br>
>For specific details about the technologies and APIs that are no longer supported in Microsoft Edge, see [A break from the past, part 2: Saying goodbye to ActiveX, VBScript, attachEvent](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=615953).
## 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.
Because our goal with Microsoft Edge is to give users the best site and app viewing experience possible, we’ve decided to stop support for document modes. All websites and apps using legacy features and code will need to be updated to rely on the new modern standards and practices.
If you have legacy sites and apps that can’t be updated to modern standards, you can continue to use IE11 and document modes. We recommend that you use the **IE11 Standards document mode** because it represents the highest support available for modern standards. You should also use the HTML5 document type declaration to turn on the latest supported standards while using IE11:`<!DOCTYPE html>`.
## Document modes and IE11
The compatibility improvements made in IE11 lets older websites just work in the latest standards mode, by default, without requiring emulation of the previous browser behavior. Because older websites are now just working, we’ve decided that Internet Explorer 10 document mode will be the last new document mode. Instead, developers will need to move to using the IE11 document mode going forward.
## Document mode selection flowchart
This flowchart shows how IE11 works when document modes are used.

## Known Issues with Internet Explorer 8 document mode in Enterprise Mode
The default document mode for Enterprise Mode is Internet Explorer 8. While this mode provides a strong emulation of that browser, it isn’t an exact match. For example, Windows Internet Explorer 9 fundamentally changed how document modes work with iframes and document modes can’t undo architectural changes. It’s also a known issue that Windows 10 supports GDI font rendering while using Enterprise Mode, but uses natural metrics once outside of Enterprise Mode.

# Edit the Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
You can use Internet Explorer 11 and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to change whether page rendering should use Enterprise Mode or the default Internet Explorer browser configuration. You can also add, remove, or delete associated comments.
If you need to edit a lot of websites, you probably don’t want to do it one at a time. Instead, you can edit your saved XML or TXT file and add the sites back again. For information about how to do this, depending on your operating system and schema version, see [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) or [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-1-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
**To change how your page renders**
1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, double-click the site you want to change.
2. Change the comment or the compatibility mode option.
3. Click **Save** to validate your changes and to add the updated information to your site list.<br>
If your change passes validation, it’s added to the global site list. If the update doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the update or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway. For more information about fixing validation issues, see [Fix validation problems using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](fix-validation-problems-using-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
4. On the **File** menu, click **Save to XML**, and save the updated file.<br>
You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key. For more information about the registry key, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).

# Edit the Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
You can use Internet Explorer 11 and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to change whether page rendering should use Enterprise Mode or the default Internet Explorer browser configuration. You can also add, remove, or delete associated comments.
If you need to edit a lot of websites, you probably don’t want to do it one at a time. Instead, you can edit your saved XML or TXT file and add the sites back again. For information about how to do this, depending on your operating system and schema version, see [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) or [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-1-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
**To change how your page renders**
1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, double-click the site you want to change.
2. Change the comment or the compatibility mode option.
3. Click **Save** to validate your changes and to add the updated information to your site list.<br>
If your change passes validation, it’s added to the global site list. If the update doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the update or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway. For more information about fixing validation issues, see [Fix validation problems using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](fix-validation-problems-using-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
4. On the **File** menu, click **Save to XML**, and save the updated file.<br>
You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key. For more information about the registry key, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).

# Enable and disable add-ons using administrative templates and group policy
Add-ons let your employees personalize Internet Explorer. You can manage IE add-ons using Group Policy and Group Policy templates.
There are four types of add-ons:
- **Search Providers.** Type a term and see suggestions provided by your search provider.
- **Accelerators.** Highlight text on a web page and then click the blue **Accelerator** icon to email, map, search, translate, or do many other tasks.
- **Web Slices.** Subscribe to parts of a website to get real-time information on the Favorites bar.
- **Toolbars.** Add features (like stock tickers) to your browser.
## Using the Local Group Policy Editor to manage group policy objects
You can use the Local Group Policy Editor to change how add-ons work in your organization.
**To manage add-ons**
1. In the Local Group Policy Editor, go to `Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer`.
2. Change any or all of these settings to match your company’s policy and requirements.
- Turn off add-on performance notifications
- Automatically activate newly installed add-ons
- Do not allow users to enable or disable add-ons
3. Go into the **Internet Control Panel\\Advance Page** folder, where you can change:
- Do not allow resetting IE settings
- Allow third-party browser extensions
4. Go into the **Security Features\\Add-on Management** folder, where you can change:
- Add-on List
- Deny all add-ons unless specifically allowed in the Add-on List
- Turn off Adobe Flash in IE and prevent applications from using IE technology to instantiate Flash objects
5. Close the Local Group Policy Editor when you’re done.
## Using the CLSID and Administrative Templates to manage group policy objects
Every add-on has a Class ID (CLSID) that you use to enable and disable specific add-ons, using Group Policy and Administrative Templates.
**To manage add-ons**
1. Get the CLSID for the add-on you want to enable or disable:
1. Open IE, click **Tools**, and then click **Manage Add-ons**.
2. Double-click the add-on you want to change.
3. In the More Information dialog, click **Copy** and then click **Close**.
4. Open Notepad and paste the information for the add-on.
5. On the Manage Add-ons windows, click **Close**.
6. On the Internet Options dialog, click **Close** and then close IE.
2. From the copied information, select and copy just the **Class ID** value.
>[!NOTE]
>You want to copy the curly brackets as well as the CLSID: **{47833539-D0C5-4125-9FA8-0819E2EAAC93}**.
3. Open the Group Policy Management Editor and go to: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management.
<br>**-OR-**<br>
Open the Local Group Policy Editor and go to: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management.
4. Open the **Add-on List** Group Policy Object, select **Enabled**, and then click **Show**.<br>The Show Contents dialog appears.
6. In **Value Name**, paste the Class ID for your add-on, for example, **{47833539-D0C5-4125-9FA8-0819E2EAAC93}**.
6. In **Value**, enter one of the following:
- **0**. The add-on is disabled and your employees can’t change it.
- **1**. The add-on is enabled and your employees can’t change it.
- **2**. The add-on is enabled and your employees can change it.
7. Close the Show Contents dialog.
7. In the Group Policy editor, go to: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer.
8. Double-click **Automatically activate/enable newly installed add-ons** and select **Enabled**.<br><br>Enabling turns off the message prompting you to Enable or Don't enable the add-on.
7. Click **OK** twice to close the Group Policy editor.

# Enhanced Protected Mode problems with Internet Explorer
Enhanced Protected Mode further restricts Protected Mode to deny potential attackers access to sensitive or personal information. If this feature is turned on, users might start to see errors asking them to turn it off, like **This webpage wants to run "npctrl.dll. If you trust this site, you can disable Enhanced Protected Mode for this site to run the control**. If your users click the **Disable** box, Enhanced Protected Mode is turned off for only the single visit to that specific site. After the user leaves the site, Enhanced Protected Mode is automatically turned back on.
You can use your company’s Group Policy to turn Enhanced Protected Mode on or off for all users. For more information, see the [Group policy objects and Internet Explorer 11 (IE11)](group-policy-objects-and-ie11.md) information in this guide.
For more information about Enhanced Protected Mode, see the [Enhanced Protected Mode](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=267512) post on IEBlog, and both the [Understanding Enhanced Protected Mode](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=282662) and the [Enhanced Protected Mode and Local Files](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=282663) blog posts on IEInternals.

# Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1) to create and update your Enterprise Mode site list for devices running the v.1 version of the schema, or the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) to create and update your Enterprise Mode site list for devices running the v.2 version of the schema. We strongly recommend moving to the new schema, v.2. For more info, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md).
If you don't want to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you also have the option to update your XML schema using Notepad, or any other XML-editing app.
## Enterprise Mode schema v.1 example
The following is an example of the Enterprise Mode schema v.1. This schema can run on devices running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Make sure that you don't specify a protocol when adding your URLs. Using a URL like `<domain>contoso.com</domain>` automatically applies to both http://contoso.com and https://contoso.com.
```xml
<rules version="1">
<emie>
<domain exclude="false">www.cpandl.com</domain>
<domain exclude="true">www.woodgrovebank.com</domain>
<domain exclude="false" forceCompatView="true">adatum.com</domain>
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com</domain>
<domain exclude="true">relecloud.com
<path exclude="false">/about</path>
</domain>
<domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
<path exclude="true">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie>
<docMode>
<domain>contoso.com
<path docMode="7">/travel</path>
</domain>
<domain>fabrikam.com
<path docMode="7">/products</path>
</domain>
</docMode>
</rules>
```
### Schema elements

### Using Enterprise Mode and document mode together
If you want to use both Enterprise Mode and document mode together, you need to be aware that &lt;emie&gt; entries override &lt;docMode&gt; entries for the same domain.
For example, say you want all of the sites in the contoso.com domain to open using IE8 Enterprise Mode, except test.contoso.com, which needs to open in document mode 11. Because Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document mode, if you want test.contoso.com to open using document mode, you'll need to explicitly add it as an exclusion to the &lt;emie&gt; parent node.
```xml
<rules version="1">
<emie>
<domain exclude="false">contoso.com</domain>
<domain exclude="true">test.contoso.com</domain>
</emie>
<docMode>
<domain docMode="11">test.contoso.com</domain>
</docMode>
</rules>
```
### What not to include in your schema
We recommend that you not add any of the following items to your schema because they can make your compatibility list behave in unexpected ways:
- Don’t use protocols. For example, `http://`, `https://`, or custom protocols. They break parsing.
- Don’t use wildcards.
- Don’t use query strings, ampersands break parsing.
## How to use trailing slashes
You can use trailing slashes at the path-level, but not at the domain-level:
- **Domain-level.** Don’t add trailing slashes to a domain, it breaks parsing.
- **Path-level.** Adding a trailing slash to a path means that the path ends at that point. By not adding a trailing slash, the rule applies to all of the sub-paths.
**Example**
```xml
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path exclude="false">/about/</path>
</domain>
```
In this example, `contoso.com/about/careers` will use the default version of Internet Explorer, even though `contoso.com/about/` uses Enterprise Mode.
## How to target specific sites
If you want to target specific sites in your organization.
|Targeted site |Example |Explanation |
|--------------|--------|------------|
|You can specify subdomains in the domain tag. |<code>&lt;docMode&gt;<br>&lt;domain docMode="5"&gt;contoso.com&lt;/domain&gt;<br>&lt;domain docMode="9"&gt;info.contoso.com&lt;/domain&gt;<br>&lt;docMode&gt;</code> |<ul><li>contoso.com uses document mode 5.</li><li>info.contoso.com uses document mode 9.</li><li>test.contoso.com also uses document mode 5.</li></ul>|
|You can specify exact URLs by listing the full path. |<code>&lt;emie&gt;<br>&lt;domain exclude="false"&gt;bing.com&lt;/domain&gt;<br>&lt;domain exclude="false" forceCompatView="true"&gt;contoso.com&lt;/domain&gt;<br>&lt;emie&gt;</code>|<ul><li>bing.com uses IE8 Enterprise Mode.</li><li>contoso.com uses IE7 Enterprise Mode.</li></ul>|
|You can nest paths underneath domains. |<code>&lt;emie&gt;<br>&lt;domain exclude="true"&gt;contoso.com<br>&lt;path exclude="false"&gt;/about&lt;/path&gt;<br>&lt;path exclude="true"&gt;<br>/about/business&lt;/path&gt;<br>&lt;/domain&gt;<br>&lt;/emie&gt;</code> |<ul><li>contoso.com will use the default version of IE.</li><li>contoso.com/about and everything underneath that node will load in Enterprise Mode, except contoso.com/about/business, which will load in the default version of IE.</li></ul> |
|You can’t add a path underneath a path. The file will still be parsed, but the sub-path will be ignored. |<code>&lt;emie&gt;<br>&lt;domain exclude="true"&gt;contoso.com<br>&lt;path&gt;/about<br>&lt;path exclude="true"&gt;/business&lt;/path&gt;<br>&lt;/path&gt;<br>&lt;/domain&gt;<br>&lt;/emie&gt;</code> |<ul><li>contoso.com will use the default version of IE.</li><li>contoso.com/about and everything underneath that node will load in Enterprise Mode, including contoso.com/about/business because the last rule is ignored.</li></ul> |

# Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1) to create and update your Enterprise Mode site list for devices running the v.1 version of the schema, or the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) to create and update your Enterprise Mode site list for devices running the v.2 version of the schema. We strongly recommend moving to the new schema, v.2. For more info, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md).
If you don't want to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you also have the option to update your XML schema using Notepad, or any other XML-editing app.
## Enterprise Mode schema v.1 example
The following is an example of the Enterprise Mode schema v.1. This schema can run on devices running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Make sure that you don't specify a protocol when adding your URLs. Using a URL like `<domain>contoso.com</domain>` automatically applies to both http://contoso.com and https://contoso.com.
```xml
<rules version="1">
<emie>
<domain exclude="false">www.cpandl.com</domain>
<domain exclude="true">www.woodgrovebank.com</domain>
<domain exclude="false" forceCompatView="true">adatum.com</domain>
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com</domain>
<domain exclude="true">relecloud.com
<path exclude="false">/about</path>
</domain>
<domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
<path exclude="true">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie>
<docMode>
<domain>contoso.com
<path docMode="7">/travel</path>
</domain>
<domain>fabrikam.com
<path docMode="7">/products</path>
</domain>
</docMode>

# Export your Enterprise Mode site list from the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
After you create your Enterprise Mode site list in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you can export the contents to an Enterprise Mode (.EMIE) file. This file includes all of your URLs, including your compatibility mode selections and should be stored somewhere safe. If your list gets deleted by mistake you can easily import this file and return everything back to when this file was last saved.
**Important**<br> 
This file is not intended for distribution to your managed devices. Instead, it is only for transferring data and comments from one manager to another. For example, if one administrator leaves and passes the existing data to another administrator. Internet Explorer doesn’t read this file.
**To export your compatibility list**
1. On the **File** menu of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, click **Export**.
2. Export the file to your selected location. For example, `C:\Users\<user_name>\Documents\sites.emie`.

# Fix web compatibility issues using document modes and the Enterprise Mode site list
The Internet Explorer 11 Enterprise Mode site list lets you specify document modes for specific websites, helping you fix compatibility issues without changing a single line of code on the site. This addition to the site list is a continuation of our commitment to help you upgrade and stay up-to-date on the latest version of Internet Explorer, while still preserving your investments in existing apps.
## What does this mean for me?
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](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=518412).

Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document modes, so sites that are already included in the Enterprise Mode site list won’t be affected by this update and will continue to load in Enterprise Mode, as usual.
### When do I use document modes versus Enterprise Mode?
While the `<emie>` functionality provides great compatibility for you on Windows Internet Explorer 8 or Windows Internet Explorer 7, the new `<docMode>` capabilities can help you stay up-to-date regardless of which versions of IE are running in your environment. Because of this, we recommend starting your testing process like this:
- If your enterprise primarily uses Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 7 start testing using Enterprise Mode.
- If your enterprise primarily uses Windows Internet Explorer 9 or Internet Explorer 10, start testing using the various document modes.
Because you might have multiple versions of IE deployed, you might need to use both Enterprise Mode and document modes to effectively move to IE11.
### Test your sites for document mode compatibility
To see if this fix might help you, run through this process one step at a time, for each of your problematic sites:
1. Go to a site having compatibility problems, press **F12** to open the **F12 Developer Tools**, and go to the **Emulation** tool.
![Emulation tool showing document mode selection](images/docmode-f12.png)
2. Starting with the **11 (Default)** option, test your broken scenario.<br>
If that doesn’t work, continue down to the next lowest document mode, stopping as soon as you find a document mode that fixes your problems. For more information about the Emulation tool, see [Emulate browsers, screen sizes, and GPS locations](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=518417).
3. If none of the document modes fix your issue, change the **Browser Profile** to **Enterprise**, pick the mode you want to test with starting with **8** (IE8 Enterprise Mode), and then test your broken scenario.
### Add your site to the Enterprise Mode site list
After you’ve figured out the document mode that fixes your compatibility problems, you can add the site to your Enterprise Mode site list.
**Note**<br>
There are two versions of the Enterprise Mode site list schema and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, based on your operating system. For more info about the schemas, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md) or [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md). For more info about the different site list management tools, see [Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
**To add your site to the site list**
1. Open the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, and click **Add**.
![Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, showing the available modes](images/emie-listmgr.png)
2. Add the **URL** and pick the document mode from the **Launch in** box. This should be the same document mode you found fixed your problems while testing the site.<br>
Similar to Enterprise Mode, you can specify a document mode for a particular web path—such as contoso.com/ERP—or at a domain level. In the above, the entire contoso.com domain loads in Enterprise Mode, while microsoft.com is forced to load into IE8 Document Mode and bing.com loads in IE11.
**Note**<br>
For more information about Enterprise Mode, see [What is Enterprise Mode?](what-is-enterprise-mode.md) For more information about the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager and how to add sites to your site list, see [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
### Review your Enterprise Mode site list
Take a look at your Enterprise Mode site list and make sure everything is the way you want it. The next step will be to turn the list on and start to use it in your company. The Enterprise Mode Site List Manager will look something like:
![Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, showing the different modes](images/emie-sitelistmgr.png)
And the underlying XML code will look something like:
``` xml
<rules version="1">
<emie>
<domain exclude="false">bing.com<path exclude="false" forceCompatView="true">/images</path></domain>
<domain exclude="true">www.msn.com<path exclude="true">/news</path></domain>
</emie>
<docmode />
<docMode>
<domain docMode="edge">timecard</domain>
<domain docMode="edge">tar</domain>
<domain docMode="9">msdn.microsoft.com</domain>
</docMode>
</rules>
```
### Turn on Enterprise Mode and using your site list
If you haven’t already turned on Enterprise Mode for your company, you’ll need to do that. You can turn on Enterprise Mode using Group Policy or your registry. For specific instructions and details, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).
## Turn off default Compatibility View for your intranet sites
By default, IE11 uses the **Display intranet sites in Compatibility View** setting. However, we’ve heard your feedback and know that you might want to turn this functionality off so you can continue to upgrade your web apps to more modern standards.
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.

# Fix web compatibility issues using document modes and the Enterprise Mode site list
The Internet Explorer 11 Enterprise Mode site list lets you specify document modes for specific websites, helping you fix compatibility issues without changing a single line of code on the site. This addition to the site list is a continuation of our commitment to help you upgrade and stay up-to-date on the latest version of Internet Explorer, while still preserving your investments in existing apps.
## What does this mean for me?
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](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=518412).
**Important**<br>
Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document modes, so sites that are already included in the Enterprise Mode site list won’t be affected by this update and will continue to load in Enterprise Mode, as usual.

# Fix validation problems using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
When you add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list entries, they’re validated by the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager before they’re entered into your global list. If a site doesn’t pass validation, you’ll have a couple of options to address it.
There are typically 3 types of errors you’ll see:
- **Validation**. The site caused a validation error. Typically these occur because of typos, malformed URLs, or access-related issues. You can pick the site, click **Add to list** to ignore the problem and accept the site to your site list, or you can click **OK** to keep the site off of your site list.
- **Duplicate**. The site already exists in the global compatibility list with a different compatibility mode. For example, the site was originally rendered in Enterprise Mode, but this update is for Default IE. You can pick the site, click **Add to list** to ignore the problem and accept the change to your site list, or you can click **OK** to keep your original compatibility mode.
- **Redirection**. This is the least common type of validation error. Typically in this situation, a site redirects from an easy-to-remember URL to a longer URL. Like `\\tar` redirects to `\\timecard`. You can add the short URL or you can add both the short and long versions to your list.<br>
Another possibility is that redirection happens multiple times, with an intermediary site experiencing compatibility issues. For example, an employee types a short URL that then redirects multiple times, finally ending up on a non-intranet site. In this situation, you might want to add the intermediary URLs to your Enterprise Mode site list, in case there’s logic in one of them that has compatibility issues.

# Group Policy, Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), and Internet Explorer 11
Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) is an add-on license that available for the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP). This license gives you change control and a role assignment-model that helps optimize Group Policy management and reduce the risk of widespread failures.
From AGPM you can:
- **Edit GPOs outside of your production environment.** Your GPOs are stored in an outside archive for editing, reviewing, and approving. Then, when you deploy, AGPM moves the GPOs to your production environment.
- **Assign roles to your employees.** You can assign 3 roles to your employees or groups, including:
- **Reviewer.** Can view and compare GPOs in the archive. This role can't edit or deploy GPOs.
- **Editor.** Can view, compare, check-in and out, and edit GPOs in the archive. This role can also request GPO deployment.
- **Approver.** Can approve GPO creation and deployment to the production environment.
- **Manage your GPO lifecycle with change control features.** You can use the available version-control, history, and auditing features to help you manage your GPOs while moving through your archive, to your editing process, and finally to your GPO deployment.
**Note**<br>
For more information about AGPM, and to get the license, see [Advanced Group Policy Management 4.0 Documents](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=13975).

# Group Policy, the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), and Internet Explorer 11
A Microsoft Management Console (MMC)-based tool that uses scriptable interfaces to manage Group Policy. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions are included with Windows Server R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2012 R2.
## Why use the GPMC?
The GPMC lets you:
- Import, export, copy, paste, backup and restore GPOs.
- Search for existing GPOs.
- Create reports, including providing the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) data in HTML reports that you can save and print.
- Use simulated RSoP data to prototype your Group Policy before implementing it in the production environment.
- Obtain RSoP data to view your GPO interactions and to troubleshoot your Group Policy deployment.
- Create migration tables to let you import and copy GPOs across domains and across forests. Migration tables are files that map references to users, groups, computers, and Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths in the source GPO to new values in the destination GPO.
- Create scriptable interfaces to support all of the operations available within the GPMC. You can't use scripts to edit individual policy settings in a GPO.
For more information about the GPMC, see [Group Policy Management Console](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214515) on TechNet.
## Searching for Group Policy settings
To search for Group Policy settings in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), use the [Group Policy Search tool](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=279857). To find the Group Policy settings, click **Windows Components**, and then click **Internet Explorer**.

# Group Policy management tools
Group Policy, based on Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), lets you manage your organization's computer and user settings as part of your Group Policy objects (GPOs), which are added and changed in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). GPOs can include registry-based Administrative Template policy settings, security settings, software deployment information, scripts, folder redirection, and preferences. The most effective way to target a specific GPO is to use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filters. Like, creating a WMI filter that applies a GPO only to computers with a specific make and model.
By using Group Policy, you can set up a policy setting once, and then copy that setting onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple Internet Explorer 11 security settings in a GPO that's linked to a domain, and then apply all of those settings to every computer in the domain.
**Note**<br>  
For more information about Group Policy, see the [Group Policy TechCenter](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214514). This site provides links to the latest technical documentation, videos, and downloads for Group Policy.
## Managing settings with GPOs
After deploying IE11 to your organization, you can continue to manage the browser settings by using Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) together with the following Group Policy-related setting management groups:
- [Administrative templates and Internet Explorer 11](administrative-templates-and-ie11.md). Used to manage registry-based policies and options.
- [Group policy preferences and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-preferences-and-ie11.md). Used to set up and manage options that can be changed by the user after installation.
**Note**<br>
Whenever possible, we recommend that you manage IE11 using Administrative Templates, because these settings are always written to secure policy branches in the registry. In addition, we recommend that you deploy using standard user accounts instead of letting your users log on to their computers as administrators. This helps to prevent your users from making unwanted changes to their systems or overriding Group Policy settings.
Users won't be able to use the IE11 user interface or the registry to change any managed settings on their computers. However, they will be able to change many of the preferences associated with the settings you set up using the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11).
## Which GPO tool should I use?
You can use any of these tools to create, manage, view, and troubleshoot Group Policy objects (GPOs). For information about each, see:
- [Group Policy, the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-and-group-policy-mgmt-console-ie11.md). Provides a single location to manage all GPOs, WMI filters, and Group Policy–related permissions across multiple forests in an organization.
- [Group Policy, the Local Group Policy Editor, and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-and-local-group-policy-editor-ie11.md). Provides a user interface that lets you edit settings within individual GPOs.
- [Group Policy, Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-and-advanced-group-policy-mgmt-ie11.md). An add-on license for the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) that helps to extend Group Policy for Software Assurance customers.
- [Group Policy, Windows Powershell, and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-windows-powershell-ie11.md). A command-line shell and scripting language that helps automate Windows and application administration on a single computer locally, or across many computers remotely.

# Group Policy, Shortcut Extensions, and Internet Explorer 11
Group Policy includes the Shortcuts preference extension, which lets you configure shortcuts to:
- **File system objects.** Traditional shortcuts that link to apps, files, folders, drives, shares, or computers. For example, linking a shortcut to an app from the **Start** screen.
- **URLs.** Shortcuts to webpages or FTP sites. For example, a link to your intranet site from your employee's **Favorites** folder.
- **Shell objects.** Shortcuts to objects that appear in the shell namespace, such as printers, desktop items, Control Panel items, the Recycle Bin, and so on.
## How do I configure shortcuts?
You can create and configure shortcuts for any domain-based Group Policy Object (GPO) in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
**To create a new Shortcut preference item**
1. Open GPMC, right-click the Group Policy object that needs the new shortcut extension, and click **Edit**.
2. From **Computer Configuration** or **User Configuration**, go to **Preferences**, and then go to **Windows Settings**.

# Group Policy, Shortcut Extensions, and Internet Explorer 11
Group Policy includes the Shortcuts preference extension, which lets you configure shortcuts to:
- **File system objects.** Traditional shortcuts that link to apps, files, folders, drives, shares, or computers. For example, linking a shortcut to an app from the **Start** screen.
- **URLs.** Shortcuts to webpages or FTP sites. For example, a link to your intranet site from your employee's **Favorites** folder.
- **Shell objects.** Shortcuts to objects that appear in the shell namespace, such as printers, desktop items, Control Panel items, the Recycle Bin, and so on.
## How do I configure shortcuts?
You can create and configure shortcuts for any domain-based Group Policy Object (GPO) in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
**To create a new Shortcut preference item**
1. Open GPMC, right-click the Group Policy object that needs the new shortcut extension, and click **Edit**.
2. From **Computer Configuration** or **User Configuration**, go to **Preferences**, and then go to **Windows Settings**.
3. Right-click **Shortcuts**, click **New**, and then choose **Shortcut**.
4. Choose what the shortcut should do, including **Create**, **Delete**, **Replace**, or **Update**.
5. Type the required shortcut settings and your comments into the **Description** box, and click **OK**.

# Group Policy, Windows Powershell, and Internet Explorer 11
Your domain-joined Group Policy Objects (GPOs) can use any of Group Policy-related “cmdlets” that run within Windows PowerShell.
Each cmdlet is a single-function command-line tool that can:
- Create, edit, remove, back up, and import GPOs.
- Create, update, and remove Group Policy links.
- Set inheritance flags and permissions on organizational units (OU) and domains.
- Configure registry-based policy settings and registry settings for Group Policy preferences.
For more info about PowerShell and Group Policy management, see [Use Windows PowerShell to Manage Group Policy](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=276828).
