Can't Get Chromium Edge to Use IE Mode via GPO

[Ian The Commodore Matthews]

Using Edge 81.0.416.68 64bit I am not seeing the IE blue "e" so I am apparently still running in Chrome mode on two sites that require Internet Explorer:




I have configured the two required GPO's:



and I have used the v2 builder to create the list:



which outputs what I was expecting:


<site-list version="5">
<created-by>
<tool>EMIESiteListManager</tool>
<version>12.0.0.0</version>
<date-created>05/04/2020 23:21:15</date-created>
</created-by>
<site url="tgs/POPS">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>MSEdge</open-in>
</site>
<site url="tgs/sites/projects">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>MSEdge</open-in>
</site>
</site-list>



Edge is seeing the list:



and the registry looks fine (to me anyway )




I have tried several combinations of settings in the ENT MODE SITE LIST MANAGER but not succeeded.

I simply want the two sites specified to open inside Edge in IE mode.

As soon as that is done, I will block iexplore.exe from running on machines as a security improvement.

If you have any idea what I am missing or doing wrong, I would appreciate your comments and thoughts.
