    Automatic redirect of unsupported sites in IE to Edge in 20H2


    In 20H2 if you try to open a website in Internet Explorer that says it doesn't support IE then IE will automatically open the site in Chromium Edge. IE will display this page saying: The website you were trying to reach doesn't work with Internet Explorer

    One such site you can test this with is Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

    This behaviour can be disabled so that you can continue to browse the site in IE. The key:
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID
    contains the value {1FD49718-1D00-4B19-AF5F-070AF6D5D54C}


    Use Regedit to change this value.

    1 = enable (default)
    0 = disable

    This behaviour can also be changed from within Edge. Settings > Default Browser.
