I don't want to do anything special or tricky with respect to Windows 8 and pinning, I just don't want to see the 404 Not Found messages as IE looks for browserconfig.xml scrolling by in my log files.

Is there a trivial browserconfig.xml file that I can put in my root that will satisfy IE and act as a good place holder should I decide to later add better support for Window 8?

I added the meta code to my head, but I'm still getting browserconfig.xml requests too.

So I think best way is; according to them: https://docs.microsoft.com/browserconfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<browserconfig>
    <msapplication>
    </msapplication>
</browserconfig>
