At the enterprise I work at Internet Explorer 10 was installed automatically by accident, there were a lot of websites that were incompatible so we had to downgrade to IE9. Since then on 100% of the computers users are unable to download ANYTHING.
If you try to download something from any webpage (including Microsoft) you will either get a "unable to download" or nothing happens. The one commonality is that these computers are Windows 7 64-bit SP1. Other than that they were loaded
by different people using different images.
So as of right now not even Windows Updates works, you can't even view downloads in IE. Here are just some of the steps I've done to fix this.
Reset IE
Restore Advanced Settings
Allow basically everything in security settings
Change temporary internet files location
Delete Temp file
Delete all history, download history, temporary internet files
Add "SkipSSLNoCacheCheck" and "SkipHTTPNoCacheCheck" in registry
Re-register every DLL I can find
I believe the problem has something to do with caching because the SkipSSLNoCacheCheck registry entries will fix it if you downgrade from IE10 all the way back down to IE8. But it does not work with IE9. Given that this has affected every computer we've downgraded on I've got to believe that other people have experienced this. Anyone?
EDIT: I notice that in the History Settings page the Current Location is blank and I can't change the Check for newer versions of stored pages as well as the Disk space to use is always 0 and I'm unable to change that. Also pressing Alt + J doesn't do anything.
I've got to believe this is a bug in Internet Explorer. I've tried all the normal things to fix, delete temporary internet files, history, cookies folders. Change locations in registry. Etc.. etc..
