Windows 10: How to re-download Internet Explorer to use IE Compatibility Mode in Edge?

Hello all,I have a user running the most recent update of Windows 11, 22H1, I believe, though it could also possibly be 22H2. Our employees are split between the two as we get everyone up to date. He requires Internet Explorer, or, at the very least, IE Compatibility Mode in Edge, to do his day to day work. He works with state resources and the state has not updated their system to be compatible with Edge, or any other modern browser. My problem is that he's somehow managed to remove the component of Edge that allows the use of IE Compatibility Mode. He claims there was some sort of update to

Unable to access YouTube websites on Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge on Windows 10

Hi,

As you are facing issues with accessing the YouTube on Windows browsers, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

• What is the complete error message/ error code while trying to access the web pages?
• Does this issue specific only with YouTube?
• Have you made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

Try the below workarounds to identify what is causing the issue:

• Try to access YouTube in different browser and check if it is working fine. This will let us know if the issue is with the website/ the Microsoft browsers.
• Also, try to access different website on Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

Try the below troubleshooting steps to access the website and check if it helps.

Method 1: For Internet Explorer

Step 1: I suggest you to run the Internet Explorer Performance troubleshooter.

• Press Windows key, type
  troubleshooting and select it.
• Click on View all in the left pane.
• Click on Internet Explorer Performance
  and follow the onscreen instructions.

Step 2: If the issue is only on Internet Explorer and to specific website, I suggest you to view the website in compatibility view to check if the issue is confined to compatibility.

Steps to view the website in compatibility view:

• Open Internet Explorer
  and open the website.
• Click on Gear/ Settings icon at the right-top corner of the window.
• Click on Compatibility View Settings, click on Add
  to add the website and click on Close.
• Reopen the website and check if the issue persists.

Step 3: If the issue still persists, I suggest you to access the website in
InPrivate mode and check.

InPrivate Browsing enables you to surf the web without leaving a trail in Internet Explorer. This helps prevent anyone else who might be using your computer from seeing what sites you visited and what you looked at on the web. You can start InPrivate
Browsing from the New Tab page or the Safety button.

Steps to open the browser in InPrivate mode:

Open Internet Explorer, press Shift+Ctrl+P
to open the browser in InPrivate mode and try to access the website.

Method 2: For Microsoft Edge:

I suggest you to check if the Adobe Flash player is enabled on Microsoft Edge.

• Open Microsoft Edge, click on More actions
  (...) in the right-top corner of Microsoft Edge window.
• Click on Settings, scroll down and click on
  Advanced settings.
• Enable Use Adobe Flash Player
• Check if the issue persists with accessing the YouTube websites.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status to access YouTube website on Microsoft browsers for further

assistance.

Thank you.

edge compatibility mode

Hi,

Nice to meet you!

Microsoft Edge is a great browser yet it is not fully powered to open any website correctly. When it comes to business use, particularly for viewing old websites online, currently it is still better to view it via "Internet Explorer" to ensure the compatibility.

Hence, you can press "Windows + S" and type in "Internet Explorer" to open "Internet Explorer" to access
Federal system in compatibility mode. For your convenient use, you may pin "Internet Explorer" to taskbar to easily get access.

Microsoft Edge also provides you the option to open current website via "Internet Explorer". You can click the "Setting" icon located on top to check the option "Open with Internet
Explorer". Then the website you are visiting will be automatically opened in "Internet Explorer" for compatibility mode.

Thank You!
