My company is using a web application in Internet Explorer 11 for our business from many different locations around the country. In some locations with slower network connections, the application naturally takes longer to download the data it needs.
If the user get impatient and clicks again (which users often do), IE 11 pops up that yellow bar across the bottom that says "AbcServer is not responding". The bar includes a "Recover Webpage" button and an X to just close it. If the user just waits, the application actually works.
It seems like the user won't get the "not responding" message until about 10 seconds of waiting, and then it happens only if they click somewhere in the IE window again.
Can this timeout value be adjusted? If we wanted to suppress the "not responding / Recover webpage" message for say 30 or 45 seconds, is there an IE configuration option for doing this?
I found an article that suggested changing this registry value: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
( In this subkey, add a ReceiveTimeout DWORD entry that has a value of (<number of seconds>)*1000 )
We tried this suggestion but it did not suppress that "not responding / Recover webpage" yellow bar from popping up after about 10 seconds for an impatient user.
