Are you experiencing issues while browsing certain websites on Internet Explorer? Do you want to ensure that your browser runs smoothly on older websites? If yes, then turning on compatibility mode in Internet Explorer is the solution you need. Compatibility mode allows you to mimic the behavior of older versions of Internet Explorer, ensuring that websites designed for older browsers function correctly on your current system. In this article, we will guide you through the process of enabling compatibility mode in Internet Explorer.
Step 1: Open Internet Explorer
First, launch Internet Explorer on your computer. You can do this by clicking on the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop or by searching for it in the Start menu.
Step 2: Access Compatibility View Settings
Once Internet Explorer is open, click on the gear icon located in the upper-right corner of the window. This will open the Tools menu. From the dropdown menu, select “Compatibility View settings.”
Step 3: Enable Compatibility View
In the Compatibility View settings window, you will see a list of websites that have been added to the compatibility view list. To enable compatibility mode for all websites, check the box that says “Display all websites in compatibility view.” This will automatically enable compatibility mode for all websites you visit in Internet Explorer.
Step 4: Add Specific Websites to Compatibility View
If you want to enable compatibility mode for specific websites, click on the “Add” button. Enter the URL of the website you want to add to the compatibility view list.

If you want to manage the websites in the compatibility view list, click on the “Manage” button. Here, you can remove websites from the list, add new websites, or enable or disable compatibility mode for specific websites.
Step 6: Turn Off Compatibility Mode
If you want to turn off compatibility mode for all websites, go back to the Compatibility View settings window and uncheck the box that says “Display all websites in compatibility view.” This will disable compatibility mode for all websites you visit in Internet Explorer.
