Jun 14, 2023 at 14:41 comment added Vladimirs @Deepak-MSFT that's exactly what the issue was, InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList was pointing to an xml file which had my website listed for some reason. If you can make it as an answer I will mark it as accepted. Thank you!
Jun 8, 2023 at 6:23 comment added Deepak-MSFT Please visit edge://settings/defaultBrowser and set Let Internet Explorer open sites in Microsoft Edge to Incompatible sites only. Please visit edge://policy/ and see if the InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList policy has site list assigned. If yes, try to check the site list file and see if your site URL is listed in it. If you found one, you could remove it. refresh the policies and make sure Edge uses the latest policy, then again check for the issue. If it is happening for a specific user, try to reset the Edge browser and see whether it helps to fix the issue.
Jun 6, 2023 at 19:54 comment added Vladimirs @Evert not too sure to be honest, it is a legacy website so I was trying to avoid making changes like that as it would require full regression testing. Do you think it might be a reason of certain clients switching to IE mode?
Jun 6, 2023 at 19:48 comment added Evert Are you sure you don't want a modern HTML5 doctype, instead of a XHTML one?
Jun 6, 2023 at 19:46 comment added Vladimirs @imvain2 it actually comes 2nd, after title (I updated my question in include top first lines of html). Confusing part is that it's the only client that has this problem, other clients that have the same browser version do not use IE mode. So I wondered if there is something else on client side that can force a website to load in IE mode.
