This is brand new Windows 8.1 install, freshly installed O365 and all critical updates installed.

So I click on the gear in IE, select Manage add-ons.

This opens the Manage Add-ons window, I click on Search providers, it only shows Bing.

I click on Find more search providers... at the bottom of the window, this opens IE with a list of the search engines. I click on Google, which loads the google search page.  When I click the Add to Internet Explorer button nothing happen, nothing gets added, no message gets display, NOTHING.

I see the button wants to run a javascript, so I go back in add this site to trusted sites, thinking that will allow it to run.  Close browser, re-open, try again, same outcome .... NOTHING.

So next I go and reduce the security level to low for trusted sites, figuring this will allow the script to fire off.  No luck, still nothing.

Next I go to windows features, un check IE 11, reboot, go back in again check IE 11.  Try it again, still nothing.

Finally I installed the Google Toolbar for IE check the box for making google the default search, after install reboot, guess what .... still nothing but Bing listed in search providers.

Is there another way to repair IE 11 on Windows 8.1?  I have done this many times in the past, why now is this such an issue? Can I manually put this into the registry?

I use IE 11, modern UI mostly. All websites that link to YouTube play perfectly. But, I have a forum that allows YouTube videos in posts. When I view such a post, the YouTube window is just a grey blank. No response to right click, left click. double click, etc.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks, Jim

Hi,

Our application has a horizontal explorer bar and it's class has been derived from IDeskBand interface.

This class should be constructed only once but it is being constructed twice in Internet Explorer 11 only.

Due to that my application is not working correctly, user interactions to the bar are unresponsive.

Link below shows the example of what we are using.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144099%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

If I add DWORD "TabProcGrowth=0" to registry, issue is not reproducible. But I can't use it in my application.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

I have a cube for fixed asset.

I have several calculated measures that I use in the script.

One of the script causes a problem.

If I show the calculated measure in the cube - the value is displayed correct.

When I assign the calculated measure in the script the value is #VALUE (in excel).

All the other assign values by the script are working fine.

The scope:

         

CALCULATE;   

SCOPE ([Measures].[Test Amount]);   

this works -->    SCOPE  ([AssetNote].[Note].&[4]);  

        THIS = ([Measures].NoteAquisitionUltimo);  
    END SCOPE;  


this are showing the #VALUE -->     SCOPE   ([AssetNote].[Note].&[6]);  
        THIS =  ([Measure].NoteDepreciationPrimo); 
    END SCOPE; 

And the next scopes are also showing there values correctly ??

And even creating the measures as 

CALCULATE;
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].NoteDepreciationPrimo
 AS 
100.00

, 
FORMAT_STRING = "#,##.00", 
VISIBLE = 1  ;   

I get the error #VALUE!  (in danish excel #VÆRDI!). The measure shows correctly 100.

Could any one out there kindly be of any help, then it will be greatly appreciated :-)

Hi there,

Prior to the 8.1 update I was able to run java fine on the desktop IE10.  For work this is essential, as I access dropbox to upload files, etc.  I'd much rather keep using IE, however since 8.1 I get an alert that some of my add-ons are not compatible with the new enhanced security features, etc.

I turned off "Enhanced Protected Mode", toggled various settings, uninstalled/reinstalled latest java, etc.  Still nothing working.  I'd rather not get a new browser as I love IE... any solutions?

I'm running a 64bit OS & processor, high-end machine.

Many, many thanks!

Andrew

We are having problems using Exchange 2010 ECP on IE8/9/10 after applying update KB3038314 - When you go to "Manage my organization" IE will lock up trying to load a list of mailboxes.

This doesn't happen if KB3038314 isn't installed or when using firefox.  Is anyone else  having this issues?

I have an oddly specific problem that I can't seem to diagnose. Running IE11 on Windows 7 and trying to troubleshoot a problem where iexplore.exe processes are not ended when closing Internet Explorer.

In particular, this seems to be a problem when launching IE with a command line argument such as from a desktop shortcut or email link.  And even more specifically, it only seems to be a problem when the URL in question fits the proxy bypass list that our corporation has set up.

I have found a similar issue on a Citrix message board (http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/332011-published-ie-and-session-staying-active-after-ie-is-closed/ ) but unfortunately this post didn't have a solution either.

Any ideas/suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks

We just upgraded to IE11.  

We are trying to print an HTML page with a PDF417 barcode.  In Print Preview, the barcode looks accurate; however, when trying to print the page, the barcode is unreadable. It appears that there is an issue with either the DPIs or pixels.  Prior to the upgrade, the HTML page printed and the barcode read correctly.  Since we upgraded to IE11, we are unable to print and have the barcode readable.

Are there are any print settings that we need to modify to make this work.

We recently approved IE10 in WSUS and computers have been taking the update silently.  The issue we are having is a lot of tech support calls in to us that they cannot type into any form fields or at least on certain websites they cannot enter any text. For most of the calls we ask them to reboot and it seems to be fixed for some time but then again it appears to be getting worse and worse as time goes on (more calls + more problems).

The only things we've done in the past 30 days are:

Remove "Domain Users" from the Local Administrators group.  End users are now regular users.

Used GPO to turn back on UAC (User Account Control).  This was off since for a long time.

Approved IE10 (we were on 9 for the most part with some sporadic installations of 11).

This is getting out of hand how horrible IE is.  I would suggest using a superior browser where you can actually type in form fields like Chrome or Firefox, and that has been the workaround for some people, but we still need IE for some stubborn vendors that require it, otherwise it would not be used in our organization.

Hi all,

We have database files hosted on an intranet that get downloaded as needed. When the link is clicked we get a box asking what we want to do (open, save, save as), we then click Open and Internet Explorer 11 then proceeds to download & open the file. That all works fine.

However once it is finished downloading an orange box will popup at the bottom of IE that says "*filename*.mdb couldn't be downloaded."... even though it did download and open it.

What's going on here?

Cheers!

Hi,

I'm working at Taipie Veterans General Hospital, where all workstations are not allowed to upgrade  to IE11 because of system crash and incompatibity issues.

My personal laptop (Windows 7 64-bit), however, was upgraded to IE11 about three days ago.   IE11 run well initially but hangs on startup in the second day of upgrade.   I was able to start the IE11 using the safe mode without any add-ons.   So I  disables on all add-ons in the options and then tried to re-start the IE11 in normal mode.  It just hanged on starup with blank menu bar even though I had already disabled all add-ons. 

There was no log of error in the eventvwr.

I searched for possible solutions over the net and tried the following steps without success:

1. Clear all the cache and temporary files.
2. Disable protected mode in the security tab of internet option

Please help, thanks in advance.

I think I might have to revert to and stay put with IE10, just like my Hopstial did.

Hello,

We are now testing internet explorer 11 and enterprise mode.

User are temporarely allowed to enable enterprise mode from the Tools menu (this will be disable afe rthe test phase).

GPO have been deployed to configure enterprise mode option and to define a centrally managed site list.

My questions are :

1) Will sites added to the enterprise mode using the tool menu be overridden by the central site list ?

2) Where is the local enterprise mode site list stored ?

3) Will the local enterprise mode site list be cleared under certain circumstance (Ie update, ...) ?

Best regards,

Michel

We found our ActiveX failed to install after IE 11 updates to version: 11.0.9600.17842  , KB3058515.

"An add-on for this website failed to run."

We verified that, we don't have this issue before this version of IE.

I also tried other activex, also can not install.

Can someone explain what happened about this upgrade ?

Hi Team,

We are using IE10 as our client for our CRM system (Oracle Siebel 8.1). We are using IIS7 as our Web/App Server. We need to establish TLS mutual authentication with from our IE10 client to another server which is websphere based. Please confirm my following questions.

1. Can i perform mutual authentication (by issuing client certificate) using Self-Signed Certificated? or is it mandatory that i need to use CA Signed?

2. if its mandatory for CA Signed, can i use open SSL to convert my self-signed to dummy CA signed? and will i still be able to achieve?

3. We took IIS Admin's help to configure the server is there any ready reckoner to configure the IE 10 client, we referred msdn blogs

Note: Its 2 Way mutual Authentication, enforced client validation by issuing certificate.

Please clarify

Regards

Sam

Hi,

I'm having a cookie problem on 2 out of 2 tested environments using Windows Server 2008 R2 (with roaming profiles) and Internet Explorer 10 (IEAK'ed) :S

For instance when I login to www.google.com with my username and password, as long as I'm using my Windows session I'm logged in towww.google.com every time I open the browser (with all iexplore.exe processes closed before). When I logoff my Windows session my (roaming) profile is beeing saved on the fileserver and the locally cached Windows profile is beeing deleted.

When I logon to Windows again (on the same computer) the roaming profile is beeing copied from the fileserver to my client (including the .txt cookies), butwww.google.com isn't logging me in automatically. The same thing happens with other cookies related stuff on websites :S

Also tried WITH and WITHOUT folder redirection for AppData/Cookies/etc, even a newly installed environment with Microsoft defaults is giving me problems.

Anybody out there having the same problem ?

While implementing the swipe functionality we are using the Mouse events to trigger our next pages. We are usingmousedown(touchstart),mousemove(touchmove)events to perform this. In IE 11 + Windows 8.1mousemove event will not trigger on finger movement. While in case of crome and firefoxmousemove event works.

Hi all,

After installed Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 Professional (32-bit), I tried to enable the Enterprise Mode and failed by using Local Group Policy or Registry.

When I started gpedit.msc after installed Internet Explorer 11, the following error message is prompted. After I click OK, the administrative template of Internet Explorer cannot be found.

• Resource '$(string.Advanced_EnableSSL3Fallback)' referenced in attribute displayName could not be found.
• File C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\inetres.admx, line 795, column 308

I also tried to enable by modifying the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode). After modified, the EnterpriseMode still cannot be found under Tools tab.

Any workaround, idea or resolution are welcome. Thank you !

Regards,

Tony

Hi 

I want to install a spell checker in my IE browser such that it supports spell check in text fields.

I tried installing 'Speckie' but it gave me server error as 'could not be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2'.

Please suggest me some other spell checker.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
