Hello - we are looking at upgrading from IE9 to IE11 corporately on Windows 7 and I have noticed that we have 8 add-ons disabled when non-admins run IE11 for the first time. If I check their status in the Add-on manager they are all listed as "new" rather than "enabled" or "disabled". If users do not enable them via the "Several add-ons are ready for use" prompt on the bottom of the window then they are automatically disabled. We have several important add-ons in this list that we cannot have disabled. <o:p></o:p>
It is my understanding that in IE11 add-ons cannot be enabled by their installer anymore, but these add-ons are already installed. There are more add-ons that are already installed, and they are not in this "new" category, such as Adobe Flash for example. <o:p></o:p>
How can we grandfather these add-ons that seem to be triggering Ie11 to think they are new?
On a related note how can administrators manage or mandate the use of add-ons for their users in IE11? It almost seems like we cannot do that anymore. If we cannot then that will drive up calls to the help desk for add-ons a company needs to use. How can administrators enable an add-on that is actually disabled by default with some automation or GPO or other means?
Thanks
