Remove websites that were added to a local compatibility view list by mistake or because they no longer have compatibility problems.

To remove sites from a local compatibility view list

  1. Open Internet Explorer 11, click Tools, and then click Compatibility View Settings.

  2. Pick the site to remove, and then click Remove.

    Sites can only be removed one at a time. If one is removed by mistake, it can be added back using this same box and the Add section.
