Internet Explorer 11 disable “display intranet sites in compatibility view” via meta tag not working

Make sure:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

is the first <meta> tag on your page, otherwise IE may not respect it.

Alternatively, the problem may be that IE is using Enterprise Mode for this website:

  • Your question mentioned that the console shows: HTML1122: Internet Explorer is running in Enterprise Mode emulating IE8.
  • If so you may need to disable enterprise mode (or like this) or turn it off for that website from the Tools menu in IE.
  • However Enterprise Mode should in theory be overridden by the X-UA-Compatible tag, but IE might have a bug…
