I'm trying to use EDGE to browse some legacy apps using IE mode, but this setting in Default Browser Settings is missing in EDGE browser settings. How do i enable this setting? its not greyed out, its missing all together.
Things i've tried so far,
Still the setting is not available in Edge, kindly advice on what could be done, thanks
The irony of this is off the scale. I'm clearly bored as I know the answer to this but I'm intrigued what's going on here.
Brand new install of Windows Server 2019 evaluation. Only configuration change made is to turn off IE Enhanced Security Configuration. Open https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge and click Start Microsoft Edge. You get this prompt:
On clicking Allow you get this message:
The workaround is to download the standalone installer but what's going on here? Microsoft making it difficult to install new Edge on Server 2019 seems a bit like shooting yourself in the foot.
BTW - Chrome installs fine from their web page.
But why won't the installer launch from the website?
tl;dr: TLS 1.2 between Server 2012 R2 and Chromium based browsers fails when using AD CS issued certs. Works fine on Server 2016+, and on 2012 R2 with Firefox/IE/Cygwin-curl.
We have several internal Server 2012 R2 web servers which we are trying to move off of publicly issued certificates, onto ones issued by our AD integrated CA, and eliminate less secure crypto settings, including CBC MAC. Server 2012 R2 does not support ECDHE_RSA with GCM, which means that we're trying to use an ECDH based cert. We have experienced a similar issue, however, when we allow cipher suites with CBC-MAC, such as TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 with an RSA cert issued from the same CA. Using our public wildcard cert issued by GlobalSign, we're able to connect with all browsers.
The enterprise CA, and the offline root CA are both trusted, and we've verified that this is working properly. Certificates using multiple different templates issued to 2016 and 2019 servers work without issue across all browsers. The ECDH and RSA based templates work equally well on 2016+.
ECDH certificate template crypto:
RSA certificate template crypto:
Both RSA and ECDH certificates on the 2012 R2 servers are accepted by Firefox (once it's been told to trust them both via policy, and manually setting security.enterprise_roots.enabled), pre-Chromium Edge, IE, and Cygwin's curl and wget. I've confirmed we're using modern ciphers in the registry, re-setting them with IISCrypto, and verified there are compatible available ciphers being offered by the server with OpenSSL, and nmap. Likewise, I've confirmed that clients are actually able to connect using those ciphers.
Firefox shows it's connecting with TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, which according to Qualys is supported in the version of Chrome which we're using.

My questions are:
EDIT: I've opened a bug with Chromium and they have confirmed that the cipher suites being offered by the server should be accepted by Chrome. They are now investigating after I've provided network logging captured via CHROME://Net-Export. This may be related to an old Chrome/2012 bug. Once Google has reported back about what the issue is, I'll update this post again. However, at this point it looks as though there's nothing wrong with the configuration on our side.
Thanks for looking!

The Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2016, don’t include Microsoft Edge or many other Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. Systems running the LTSB operating systems do not support these apps because their services get frequently updated with new functionality. For customers who require the LTSB for specialized devices, we recommend using Internet Explorer 11.
So I was trying to install edge, and kept getting errors such as "You'll need an app to open Microsoft Edge", and on the edge download page the download link did nothing.
However, I was able to download the insider edition beta version of Edge, and from that navigated to the full version download and it allowed me. I then uninstalled the beta version and now seem to be utilizing the full version without issue on what apparently is not a supported operating system.
Is this "hack" or "workaround" going to come back to haunt me?
I recently got a new machine at work and decided to install Windows 10 Enterprise 'LTSB'. Mostly I like its similarity to Windows 7 and its stability. However, very few organizations even know that LTSB exists. One of the consequences of that is that many web sites are threatening to drop support for Internet Explorer. Some of them even think that because I'm on Windows 10, I must have Edge already installed (see https://github.com). Not true with LTSB. Not only that, I cannot install it through normal means. I use Edge at home, and while it has its flaws, it's the default browser for many, many of our customers, so I'd like to be able to run it, if only just for testing purposes. When I go to the Microsoft Edge homepage and click Try Now, after giving permission to open an app, I get the following error:
You'll need a new app to open this microsoft-edge OK
The pop-up window has an OK button, which is greyed out and doesn't respond. I see no way to get past this and actually install Edge.
Is there any way to install Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB?
