NEW SIMPLIFIED USER-BASED PROCESS (required for Windows 11):
New versions of Edge allow using a simplified process:
...
> Settings
> Default Browser
(shortcut: go to edge://settings/defaultBrowser )Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode
> Allow
Internet Explorer mode pages
> Add
OLD PROCESS (it won't work on Windows 11):
It has been suggested when we link to MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates in the description - we should point to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-u
We are testing the above setup out and are on QV 12.40.201. We have the QVS configures with HTTPS but when I go to the access point and open an app I get a message about an unsecured site and the HTTPS is crossed out. How do we over come this issue?
Thank you,

Hi @cleite2014 . You will need 12.50 SR3 or higher for this to be supported.
There was no Edge Chromium in June 2019, when QV 12.40 SR1 was released, so we couldn't have a solution for that version.
Hello @cleite2014
It is unclear if you are talking about the Internet Explorer Plugin or AJAX. If you are having general issues with HTTPs, check out this article to see if you missed something: QlikView AccessPoint and QMC with HTTPS and a custom SSL certificate .
Otherwise, as Daniele mentioned, this article here apples only for 12.50 SR3 and higher and is meant to help you running IE Plugin in Edge.
Hello Everyone,
first of all: This works great, thanks for this idea/solution @Daniele_Purrone !
Sadly we have to Login each time and it doesn't seem to remember the Login-Information the moment you close the browser.
Probably something which has to be configured in the "Group Policys" but i couldn't find it yet.
Maybe someone knows what i need to activate for automatic Login?
Will this continue to work once IE is retired?
Hello @borch
You can read more about this here: Internet Explorer 11 End Of Life and Qlik software
Hi @Daniele_Purrone and @Sonja_Bauernfeind. Hoping you can help on this topic of Edge running IE mode. I can set it up on one of our servers to run fine as an individual user but as soon as we run Edge mode using group policy we encounter the below error :
"QlikView Analyzer for Microsoft® Internet Explorer is not installed"
I am working with my system admin team who followed the above process in step 8. We are running QV 12.05.204; IE PLugin is installed on servers running Windows Server 2016.
Is there anything we are missing that would be causing this response?
Hello @mcintyb1 Where exactly are you receiving this error? Can you provide us with a screenshot?
All the best,
Sonja
Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind the error occurs when clicking on an app from the Access Point page. Any server using group policy will throw this error for Edge and also Internet Explorer. This is a recent change we added to assist rolling out the IE mode on Edge to help identify the url for compatibility mode. We just need to understand why it's not idenitfying the IE plugin. Thanks
