Microsoft Edge User Agent from modern.ie

I downloaded a vm from modern.ie for Win10, MS Edge (IE 11)

When I look at the userAgent (JS code in the console : navigator.userAgent), I get:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0); Win64; x64)"

From what I can see on this post from MS (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh869301(v=vs.85).aspx), the user agent should have "Edge" token:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.135 Safari/537.36 Edge/12."

I'm wondering what is causing this? Any ideas?

My version of IE11 is : Microsoft Edge 20.10240.16384.0

Here's a screenshot of what I see:

Can confirm this is an issue with the Mac VM for VirtualBox. If you download the PC version instead and use if from your Mac it will have the right userAgent (you will also have to install the integration tools). We are investigating where the problem is coming from and will update the VMs once it is fixed.

Edit: Since last Friday this should be fixed. Please download again the file.

It must be some issue with the VM itself, have you tried the HyperV_2012 version? You can also try the RemoteIE tool : https://remote.modern.ie/subscribe
