Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) Description
This policy allows users to reload unconfigured sites (ones that aren't configured in the Enterprise Mode Site List) in Internet Explorer mode when browsing in Microsoft Edge, and a site requires Internet Explorer for compatibility. After a site is reloaded in Internet Explorer mode, "in-page" navigation stays in Internet Explorer mode (for example, a link, script, or form on the page, or a server-side redirect from another "in-page" navigation). Users can choose to exit from Internet Explorer mode, or Microsoft Edge automatically exits from Internet Explorer mode when a navigation that isn't "in-page" occurs (for example, using the address bar, the back button, or a favorite link). Users can also optionally tell Microsoft Edge to use Internet Explorer mode for the site in the future. This choice is remembered for a length of time managed by the 'InternetExplorerIntegrationLocalSiteListExpirationDays' (Specify the number of days that a site remains on the local IE mode site list) policy. If the 'InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel' (Configure Internet Explorer integration) policy is set to 'IEMode', then sites explicitly configured by the 'InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList' (Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List) policy's site list to use Microsoft Edge aren't reloaded in Internet Explorer mode, and sites configured by the site list or by the 'SendIntranetToInternetExplorer' (Send all intranet sites to Internet Explorer) policy to use Internet Explorer mode can't exit from Internet Explorer mode. If you enable this policy, users are allowed to reload unconfigured sites in Internet Explorer mode. If you disable this policy, users aren't allowed to reload unconfigured sites in Internet Explorer mode. If you enable this policy, it takes precedence over how you configured the 'InternetExplorerIntegrationTestingAllowed' (Allow Internet Explorer mode testing) policy, and that policy is disabled.

Disabled: InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
