mht files are by default opening in Edge browser and its blank

Hi Community,

Since today morning I've observed that Testcomplete results .mht files are by default opening in edge browser instead of IE and the page is completely blank.

I've gone through some forums and did the below changes but nothing worked. Can someone help us on this please.

 

 

  • After doing the below setting as per screenshot, need to perform an additional setting too,

    Navigate to edge://flags in the MS Edge address bar and then search for "motw" and disable the option:

    Try opening .mht file and it works:

    Indeed the "motw" experimental feature is not available anymore... And a reboot also did not help for me. 

    Does anybody have any other ideas how to read *.mht files? It's a bit silly we can't read these logs.

      You need to check your policy settings for Edge, to ensure it's not overriding your current settings. It still works fine

      Experiment/Flag features update based on Edge versions

        Thank you for your very swift response! I'll have to talk to somebody from our ICT department in that case. I don't think I can check that on my local PC

        Edit: if I got to edge://policy it is set like this:

        and my local settings are like this:

        So it should be good? Or should I ask out IT department to change the setting?

        The experimental motw flag is not available in my edge://flags for me

    However you might need to reboot PC after you set "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)" = "Allow".
