Next, shared cookies between IE Mode and Microsoft Edge sessions are now bidirectional, meaning that when users set cookies in IE Mode, and then switch to the main Edge browser, those cookies now can share session information. Apparently some users weren't too happy, and the issue got top priority and is now fixed. Previously these calls to COM objects would work in IE, or work in IE Mode in Edge as long as IE was available, but would break if IE stand-alone was disabled. The first is restoring IE COM objects with Internet Explorer disabled. The updates fix a couple of gnawing problems for running IE apps in IE Mode in Edge.
