Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) Description
Set this policy to show the Reload in Internet Explorer mode button in the toolbar. Users can hide the button in the toolbar through edge://settings/appearance. The button is only shown on the toolbar when the 'InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed' (Allow unconfigured sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode) policy is enabled or if the user chose to enable "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode". If you enable this policy, the Reload in Internet mode button is pinned to the toolbar. If you disable or don't configure this policy, the Reload in Internet Explorer mode button isn't shown in the toolbar by default. Users can toggle the Show Internet Explorer mode button in edge://settings/appearance.

Enabled: InternetExplorerModeToolbarButtonEnabled = 1
Disabled: InternetExplorerModeToolbarButtonEnabled = 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.
