I already posted my question on Microsoft answers (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-windows_7/choose-your-homepage-and-search-settings/2966bcb3-3ddb-4a26-8c51-07b5aa40e4ef), it was suggested there that I post it here as well:

Since the latest update to Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (KB3148198), my users experience the following message (on Win7, Win 8.1 and Win 10):

http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/394764-anybody-else-get-notification-ie.html

Of course, this is disturbing for many of my users, and, what's worse, since we use dynamic local profiles in our company (i.e. the user profile is created from the DEFAULT profile on each and every login), this message shows up after each and every login which normally happens once a day.

My colleagues (and my boss!) have asked me to get rid of this message.

I have monitored what happens in the registry when you choose "Your current settings", it writes quite some strange registry entries (HEX-values) which all have something to do with "SyncHomePage Protected - It is a violation of Windows Policy to modify. See aka.ms/browserpolicy". Windows insiders will know which registry settings I mean.

Specifically, I'm talking about what's written in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\EUPP Protected - It is a violation of Windows Policy to modify. See aka.ms/browserpolicy

and the respective subkeys. Those contain binary values, and I suppose those are user specific, and that's the problem - if they are user-specific, I cannot deploy them to all network computers for all users.

If I export those regkeys and deploy them to users, there will be an error message on the first start of IE, stating that settings had to be reset as they were corrupt.

The default homepage and search providers at our company are set via regkeys (or have been, until now).

Is there any way to still set default search provider and start page in IE 11 WITHOUT users seeing ANY popups? Even for dynamic local users?

I'm not sure if uninstalling KB3148198 is an option, it looks like this update does more than just add this "feature" I don't want, and maybe it's even required in order to get further updates.

So what can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Peter

Unable to add IP address to trusted sites for all users with REGISTRY

≫ Next: IE not Working

≪ Previous: Set homepage and default search scope in an environment with dynamic local user profiles

I am having an issue adding an IP address to trusted sites for all users. I have tried using Google to change the registry for the local machine. I have also tried using gpedit under "Site to Zone Assignment List" and it also doesn't work.

I don't want to use group policy. I would like to do this with regedit.

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2.

My internet explorer has stopped working. On clicking the IE icon the page opens, no address appears and after about 10 seconds the page closes. What can I do?
