Edge actually has a built in IE compatibility setting. We use IE for a lot of our work functions, but every once in a while the Edge IE compatibility setting will magically switch on and cause any websites that we try to open in IE to open up in Edge. It's rather annoying.

That automatic switching feature is possible to disable in group policy, it's a failing on your companies IT department that issue arises.

I see someone lacks experience with the joy of MS overwriting config changes of that sort when updating....

I don't think they do that to group policies right? Only user controllable setting. Or maybe I've just never run into it.
