I figured out how to set Local Group Policy for my own local testing...via gpedit...
Local Computer Policy --> Administrative Templates --> Microsoft Edge
Configure Internet Explorer Integration
Click Enabled
Under Options - select Internet Explorer mode
Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List
Click Enabled
Under Options - enter file:////c:/my_sites/sites.xml
This is from c:/my_sites/sites.xml
site url - "www.google.com"
compat-mode - default
open-in -IE11
site url - "internal001.here.com"
compat-mode - default
open-in - IE11
However, I've been trying all day and nothing seems to take. Edge just opens google and that internal001 site in Edge. Do you guys have any ideas what could be blocking or missing? Thank you.
I downloaded the Enterprise Site Manager v2 and created the XML through the tool and it works, for whatever reason. Before I copied and pasted into notepad and plugged in my sites. I am going to mess with this, maybe try the manual XML again with the info from v2, see if that takes. i am also going to run the clear cache as I need to add and remove sites while I test.

When I try to browse to netflix.com (for example) in IE11 (on Windows 10), IE11 shows a page with the title "We recommend viewing this website in Microsoft Edge", and the site automatically gets opened in Edge.
Does anyone know how that works? Is it done via an internally compiled list of sites or something I can set up on my website?
Thanks
You had asked, "Does anyone know how that works? Is it done via an internally compiled list of sites or something I can set up on my website?"
When a user goes to a site that is incompatible with Internet Explorer, they will be automatically redirected to Microsoft Edge. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Redirection from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge for compatibility with modern web sites.
Microsoft maintains a list of all sites that are known to be incompatible with Internet Explorer. You can view the site list here. If you want to add your site to the incompatible site list then you can refer to the Request an update to the IE compatibility list.
The MS Edge 87 or greater browser installs the BHO named IEToEdgeBHO that performs the redirection based on IE compatibility list from IE to Edge browser.
You can find this BHO at the location below on your machine.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\<Your_browser_version>\BHO
If you want to achieve something similar using the code in your own site then you can refer to the example on this answer. The test shows results for the Edge legacy browser but it can also work with the Edge (Chromium) browser.
Note: that the example code mentioned in the answer may break when the Edge browser is not installed on the machine. so you can try to modify the example to handle that kind of situation.
Helpful reference:
What “magic” causes “cnn.com” when typed in IE11 to automatically launch Edge (Chromium)?
Netflix specifically is on a list of websites that automatically open in Edge when they are accessed from Internet Explorer. The list is maintained by Microsoft.
If you do not want to go through the application process to get your website added to this list, you can resort to detecting which browser the user is on and handling the notice yourself.
Here is a decent list of current Internet Explorer user agents.
I have to test a product on Internet Explorer but when I try to start it always Edge browser is opened. I tried to set IE as default browser but did not help. I try to set Chrome or Firefox as default but also not help. I tried to uninstall then reinstall IE component from 'Uninstall programs - Turns windows feature on or off' but also did not help.
I have upgraded my Windows to Version 1909 x64 but also before this update the problem existed. I am using a Dell Latitude E5470 laptop. I also search the IE and Edge group policy settings but I don't find anything which help solving this problem.
Your suggestions, ideas and help would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
For me, I was able to fix the behavior by searching for "Internet Explorer Compatibility" in the Edge settings panel. Then setting the "Open Sites in Edge" setting to "Never."
I have had a similar behavior in Windows 10 20H2 (As of writing this answer, the latest Windows 10 build so far). I had a scheduled task which opens a website at a given time, the command there is:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://some.webiste.com
After upgrading to 20H2 it always opened in Edge, also manually browsing to that website was redirected to Edge.
I found a setting in Internet Explorer under Internet Options -> Advanced Tab -> Browsing section -> Uncheck Enable third party extensions.
Note: This might need a restart to take effect and disable also other extensions but unfortunately as of this day there seems to be no other options to browse a website in IE which needs IE for one or the other reason.
Edit:
This behavior I was experiencing seems to be a DLL (ie_to_edge_bho.dll) file which comes with Edge and is being installed in IE. There is a static list of websites which get automatically redirected to Edge. Disabling this extension is greyed out and not supported out of the box, other than disabling all extensions via the option described above.
This setting lets you decide whether to open all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List in Microsoft Edge. If you use this setting, you must also turn on the Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list policy setting and you must include at least one site in the Enterprise Mode Site List.
Enabling this setting automatically opens all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List in Microsoft Edge.
Disabling, or not configuring this setting, opens all sites based on the currently active browser.
Note: If you've also enabled the Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\Send all intranet sites to Internet Explorer 11 policy setting, then all intranet sites will continue to open in Internet Explorer 11.

The problem was with 20H2(Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise ver 10.0.19042) when I received the same complaint from multiple users.
So this has been sorted out using below registry fix as mentioned by #alpar
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode and set RestrictIE value from 1 to 0
For me, the correct answer was the one provided by #josibu.
I was trying to use the performance profiler in Visual Studio 2019 for a Web project. For this function, there is no way to convince Visual Studio 2019 to use anything other than Internet Explorer. Even on Windows 11, it tries to run iexplore.exe when no such program exists. For those machines that do have Internet Explorer installed, but crippled by Microsoft, disable third party extension, as directed by #josibu.
You may get a message that the setting will not take effect until you restart your system. In my case, this was not needed. The change worked after I simply closed Internet Explorer.
I currently test NTLM authentication with Apache 2.4 on a windows machine, locally. All work fine. If i open a demo site http://localhost/authfoo/text.php, the site will load without an authentication dialog in every browser. The test.php script get all required authentication data automatically from the current windows user.
So far so good. Tested with Internet Explorer 11, Chrome, Firefox and it works. Only Microsoft Edge open up an authentication dialog and i must enter credentials. All what i see in this dialog window is that the title show my computername instead of localhost. This indicated that Edge use the computername as internal domain, and that is for sure no intranet domain, like localhost is.
There is something for edge that is a so called LoopbackExempt. With that you can allow localhost to be threaded as an intranet site. This setting also not helped me. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/faq/#how-can-i-debug-localhost
However, when i manually add http://15031489-nb.cstp.intern/ to intranet sites via settings in Edge, than it work when i use http://15031489-nb.cstp.intern/authfoo/text.php without an authentication dialog. But http://localhost/authfoo/text.php still show that authentication dialog.
Btw, http://localhost is also added to intranet sites, just to make sure everything will be treated as an actual Intranet Site.
So, i have no idea of how i can get this thing to work in Edge also, like every other browser already does, even IE 11 work without flaws.
I've been searching this problem for a while and found this answer from the microsoft developer community:
Microsoft Edge doesn't allow integrated Windows Auth over loopback as
a security mitigation to prevent breaking the browser sandbox. The
only workaround offered by the team is to use the FQDN while
debugging.
(Source)
So you will have to use the FQDN instead of http://localhost/, which is http://15031489-nb.cstp.intern/ in your case. I don't believe that Microsoft will ever fix this issue in Edge, as it is intended behaviour.
I would like to test https related application on my local machine before pushing it to staging and production.
If I try to test on local system, the page just showing (in chrome it gets to the "This webpage has a redirect loop" page).
If any information could be provided that would assist me in setting this up / getting it working and testing, I would be extremely grateful . Thanks
This problem can have two angles whether this could be related to your specific browser or with your ColdFusion application:
First and foremost can you check it on Firefox or IE just to isolate if this is specific to Chrome. (As I have seen this to come on Chrome more than often)
if it works on Other Browsers:
probably Chrome is at fault. Go to settings (Options -> Under the Hood -> Content Settings -> Cookies -> Show cookies and other site data)
Enter your problem URL in search bar and it would list all related cookies.
Select "Remove all"
if it FAILS on other browsers as well:
Can you check with perhaps another test application?

If I understand your questions you should be able to use a self signed certificate on your local dev box. Once you set this up you should be able to test your site in SSL mode.
Here is one quick tutorial.

When I browse the web with IE10 in win8's Metro part there is no problem but when I try to view page that is located on server in my local network(the same subnet) it displays this message:
This page can't be displayed
•Make sure the web address http://192.168.1.100 is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.
If following these suggestions didn't work, resetting your connection might help.

Now the funny part is that there is an option in metro version of ie10 to open page on desktop (in regular IE10) and than it works with no problem.
I can't find or think of any security setting that would restrict browsing websites inside your own local network.
(this is Windows 8 32Bit Release Preview build 8400)
Any ideas?
This is related to EPM (Enhanced Protected Mode) in IE10. It's hard to summarize in an answer here, but Eric Lawrence (a PM on the IE team) has an excellent post detailing everything about EPM:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2012/03/23/understanding-ie10-enhanced-protected-mode-network-security-addons-cookies-metro-desktop.aspx
In particular, read the "Loopback-blocked" and "Private Network resources" sections.
In your case, you might try one of these approaches:
Try aliasing the dotted hostname (http://192.168.1.100) via a custom DNS entry (e.g. http://myservice)
Change the Trusted Zones settings
See if your network connection was established as sharing or non-sharing, which would trigger private vs. public mode.
Again, see Eric's post for the details of each of these.
