Power Automate Desktop Edge addon gets disabled when running in IE compatibility mode

Posted on by naridnevahgar

Some of our internal applications still have Internet Explorer dependency. So, we need to use IE mode with Edge browser till we migrate those apps to be Edge native.

When we implement web automations for such sites, as soon as Edge is launched by the desktop flow, it detects the site needs IE mode and switches to it. However, as soon as IE mode is enabled, Power Automate Desktop addon gets disabled automatically. Also, any browser action after the browser launch does not run and keeps waiting for the browser.

Is this a known limitation for the addon? I could not find any reference on such limitation on the docs.

Thanks!

This became a blocker to us so we raised a case to support team and got the below feedback.

The add-on version currently GA, 2.0.11 does not support IE mode. However, the product team has already planned this support in their 2.11 version which is planned for release in the next few days. I will be testing this feature once the new version is available.
