Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override)
Show the Reload in Internet Explorer mode button in the toolbar
Supported on Microsoft Edge version 96, Windows 7 or later
What it does
Set this policy to show the Reload in Internet Explorer mode button in the toolbar. Users can hide the button in the toolbar through edge://settings/appearance. The button is only shown on the toolbar when the 'InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed' (Allow unconfigured sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode) policy is enabled or if the user chose to enable "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode". If you enable this policy, the Reload in Internet mode button is pinned to the toolbar. If you disable or don't configure this policy, the Reload in Internet Explorer mode button isn't shown in the toolbar by default. Users can toggle the Show Internet Explorer mode button in edge://settings/appearance.

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
