I have Internet Explorer installed on my computer but needed to test compatibility mode of IE 7. After changing the document mode to IE 7, it set it as default and now I can't change it. The default is stuck on IE 7?
How do I set Document mode default?

Internet Explorer Developer Tools settings – Manually setting the browser mode (user agent string in Internet Explorer 11) and Document mode overrides all other settings. Web content/document is in an iframe – The rendering or compatibility mode for the page and for any contained iframes is set by the page.
To use Internet Explorer Mode in Edge, launch Edge and click the “Ellipses” button in the top-right corner of the window. In the drop-down menu that appears, select “Settings.” Next, click “Default Browser” in the left-hand pane. You'll now be on the Default Browser Settings screen.
The rendering mode in Internet Explorer 11 can appear stuck if the site is added to your local Compatibility View list. When this happens, the rendering mode inside the developer tools and out will default to the specified compatibility settings.
While this may not be the only way a site can get on this list, Microsoft does document the steps for how to manually add a site to this list.
To add a site to the Compatibility View list
Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar.
Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click Compatibility View settings.
Under Add this website, enter the URL of the site you want to add to the list, and then tap or click Add.
To remove a site from this list, follow these instructions.
