Why my user agent is MSIE 7.0?

12,511

as per this MSDN Blog

Compatibility View

If the user chooses to render a site in Compatibility View (click Tools > Compatibility View Settings) then IE will send a User-Agent string that mimics Internet Explorer 7’s UA string:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C)

Most probably it would be in developer mode, check if disabling Developer mode helps.

    The login page has both header("X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge"); header and <head> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> header tag. But when I log in my user string I don't get IE11, I get Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3) which is IE7. Also in F12 I can see that my Internet Explorer is at Edge mode.
