DevTool was disconnected from the page

Solution

  • Most probably it was caused by the fact that the site was loaded with IE mode.

    What helped me was a workaround but DevTools was working for that pages.

    1. In Windows, open the Run dialog. For example, press the Windows logo key + R or right click on the Start menu and select "Run"

    2. Put there the following command while you have opened Edge with the desired site.

      %systemroot%\system32\f12\IEChooser.exe

    3. It will open new windows where you can select which page you want to open with Developers tools and it works also for IE mode pages.
