For Windows 7 with IE version 10 and 11 local group policy (gpedit.msc) no longer has "Internet Explorer Maintenance" section.
Under User Configuration/Windows Components/Internet Explorer you can disable changing Auto-Configuration but doesn't seem to be a way to set it.
So how would you set it in that case?
I am having problems setting up VPN for Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, home workstation computer, not networked.
I am also having general non-specific problems with Internet connectivity, according to network engineers.
I having a WiFi Mac and a hard-wired cable connect PC sharing the same modem at home.
The two machines are not 'networked', but standalone workstations. Relevant?
Specifically, I get script errors when I try to setup any 3rd party VPN service.
I can ignore error and VPN sets up.
But then the number of non-specific problems increase.
All of the 3rd party vendors, AND MY ISP ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT... blame Windows.
LOL! Maybe more specifically, there's something Windows and I should be doing, that we are not doing.
I noticed that my Ethernet Network has not selected Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol.
What happens if I install this "Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol"?
Is this why VPN is grumpy?
I found these two interesting links, but they don't point me in any specific direction.
( Direction? I am lost. That is why I am posting here? )

Also, every time I click Diagnose (hiding behind Properties popup in above capture), I get errors after installing Windows. Microsoft Research did something here, and the errors are gone in this particular Windows installation, but I still can't install VPN without errors.
Very simply, the batcmd files runs as follows:
@echo off
sc config NdisImPlatform start= demand
exit
Anecdote MNAMP is for Network Teaming and Binding. Provides a platform for network adapter load balancing and fall-over.
Query MNAMP may resolve some permissions issue that causes VPN installers to display 'SCRIPT ERROR' during install. Considered that script error displays without Windows popup error and may be related to "waiting for Windows Firewall to respond". At same time Windows Event viewer shows Error (reasoned with ISP engineer just now, possible Windows 8.1 Pro permissions bug, with implications far beyond VPN installer hangs):
Service Control Manager
The TAP-Windows Adapter V9 service failed to start due to the following error:
The service could not be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled device associated with it.

I'm a little bit stuck here. I'm trying to get the common dialog that appears when you open/save a file in Internet Explorer fullscreen and be persistent. If i open the dialog, resize it, close it and open it again, it won't remember it's size and it resets to default. I've tried digging around in the registry entries of the Common Dialog (Comdlg32), but haven't found any working solutions.
This problem only occurs in IE running on Windows 7. Other browsers and other versions of Windows don't seem to have this problem. Switching browser or OS is, sadly, no option in my scenario. Using third party application is also no option :(
The size settings of the common dialog windows that are opened are stored on a program by program basis in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\CIDSizeMRU. Howerver, when i add a key for internet explorer (copied from a system where it does work) it just seems to ignore the entry.
When running Process Monitor i can see that IE does not set the registry value, while it does on working systems.
I have one Windows 7 64 bit machine that keeps getting offered IE 11. IE 11 is already installed on the computer. I went Installed Updates and tried to remove IE 11 and got an error message "An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled" I then downloaded Internet Explorer 11 hoping that I could install and do a repair on it. I got the message "Setup can't continue because a more recent version of Internet Explorer is installed on the computer".
Internet Explorer does work on the machine.
I went through every forum I could find and did not find a solution. Has anyone got an idea how to fix this.
What happened to dragging a shortcut to the IE icon to make a Pinned item on the Jump List? I don't always want to make an individual taskbar icon on my taskbar. I want them to be stored under the Internet Explorer icon like they were in IE 8.
I used to be able to just drag a shortcut from my computer by dragging an LNK file or by grabbing the favicon next to the URL and drop it on top of the IE icon. This would make a Pinned item available when I right click the IE icon. This seems to have been removed. Dragging an icon to the IE taskbar item shows a Red circle with Line thru indicating I can't do that. They only allow me to drop an idividual item on the taskbar iteself not under the IE icon itself.
The only way I have found to pin an item to the IE taskbar item is to click the Pin icon next to the Frequent site list. But this is crazy inconvenient. Anyone else noticed this or have an alternative or way past this...
Like IE 9 so far but THIS SUCKS!
IE 11 renames files. For instance, .exe files become _exe, .zip become _zip. This is happening on Win 7 Ultimate-64-bit, Win 7 Pro 64-bit, and Win 8.1 Update.
This interferes with my ability to get updates to my Visual Studio and many other programming tools.
IE 11 won't even support the Akami system used by MS.
As far as I know all the security settings are set to allow downloads. Windows Firewall is configured to tell me when it blocks a program.
I read an earlier blog post from the IE Team that says this problem is due to some sites being creative!?!
The latest Firefox has no issues downloading.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this-Didnt see any forum or I missed it for Internet Explorer.
Here is my problem, We have uses that are running a webpage that is trying to install an older version of Java, The workstation has the latest version of Java, BUT the webpage seems not to care, and wants to put a older version.
Is there a way I can disable this:
"This website wants to install the following add-on: 'Java SE Runtime Environment.....'.
We have uses that will click on the Install button, and thus compromising the workstation.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have successfully been able to disable the Internet Explorer "Reopen last browsing session" and "Automatic Crash Recovery Prompts" through a GPO. I have applied this to multiple Citrix servers in the hopes of saving space on all user folders.
While I have found this successfully disables this feature, it does not delete the .dat files created in the C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Recovery\Active or Last Active folders. Windows/IE still creates these files for all users.
Is there a way to disable IE from creating these files? Seems like this should be an option since they allow you to disable the feature.
Thanks!
Can IE 11 of Windows 8.1 work with Netgear SSL VPN?

Hello,
I have a strange problem. I went to Mexico for vacation. While I was there, every time I open my IE, it would redirect me to the Mexican MSN. I assumed, this is normal for MSN redirects to the local (country and language) page. It redirected me tohttp://prodigy.msn.com/es-mx/?ocid=iehp page.
Now, I am back home to US. For some reason, MSN is still Mexican. I have an option to change it when I click on the Options in the right top corner of the MSN page, but it does not remember this setting when I close and open my IE.
My Language and Country in Control Panel are correct. Home page in IE did not change and it ishttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=255141 If I go to this link directly, it takes me to the US MSN page.
Not sure what else to check. Anyone can help me with this?
Thank you.
