* Note: The Microsoft Compatibility List of Sites (aka: 'Microsoft Compatibility List of Sites'), is managed and updated by Microsoft Engineers. The BHO add-in, checks the site that the user is trying to visit for compatibility issues with Internet Explorer by looking in the list of sites with known IE incompatibilities,* and if the site is not compatible, displays the message 'We recommend viewing this website in Microsoft Edge' in Internet Explorer, and then forcibly opens the site in Edge browser. In fact the 'IEToEdge BHO' plugin, is a DLL file named 'ie_to_edge_bho.dll' (or 'ie_to_edge_bho_64.dll'), which is installed at the following location on the PC: The 'forced IE-to-Edge' action is being carried out by using a Browser Helper Object (BHO), which is installed as 'IEToEdge BHO' add-on in Internet Explorer and cannot be disabled.

If you want to stop Internet Explorer to forcibly open websites in Edge browser, continue reading below.
