[🐛 Bug]: Turn off remote debugging to open this site in IE mode otherwise it might not work as expected.

var options = new InternetExplorerOptions
{
    UnhandledPromptBehavior = UnhandledPromptBehavior.Dismiss,

    AttachToEdgeChrome = true,
    EdgeExecutablePath = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"

That’s added by IE Driver as part of what is needed to work with Edge, so it’s as expected. Glad it is now working.
