IE11 using ActiveX controls

Solution:

ActiveX Control

ActiveX controls are small applications that Web sites can use to provide content such as video and games. When browsing the Web, you can also use these small apps to interact with the toolbar and stock quotes. However, these applications may sometimes have problems or provide you with unwanted content. In some cases, these applications can be used to collect information from your computer, destroy information on your computer, install software on your computer without your consent, or allow others to remotely control your computer.

ActiveX filtering

ActiveX filtering in Internet Explorer prevents Web sites from installing and using these applications. This feature allows you to be more secure while browsing, but it may also affect the performance of some sites. For example, if you turn on ActiveX filtering, video, games, and other interactive content may not work.

To enable ActiveX filtering for all Web sites

Open the desktop, and then click or click the Internet Explorer icon in the taskbar.

Click or click the Tools button, point to Security in the Drop-down menu, and then click or click ActiveX Filter. A check mark should now appear next to ActiveX filtering.

To turn off ActiveX filtering for individual Web sites

Open the desktop, and then click or click the Internet Explorer icon in the taskbar.

Enter the Web site where you want to allow ActiveX controls to run.

Click or click the Filter button in the Address bar, and then click or click Turn off ActiveX filtering. If the filter button does not appear in the Address bar, no ActiveX content is filtered on the Web site.

To turn off ActiveX filtering for all Web sites

Open the desktop, and then click or click the Internet Explorer icon in the taskbar.

Click or click the Tools button, point to Security in the Drop-down menu, and then click or click ActiveX Filter. The check mark next to ActiveX filtering will no longer appear.

To adjust ActiveX settings in Internet Explorer

For security reasons, Internet Explorer may not be set up to be able to download or run ActiveX controls. You can download, install, or run ActiveX controls after you change some of the advanced security settings, but your computer may be more vulnerable to security threats. Please change the advanced ActiveX settings only if there is no problem in ensuring that you increase your computer risk level.

To change ActiveX settings

Open the desktop, and then click or click the Internet Explorer icon in the taskbar.

Click or click the Tools button, and then click or click Internet Options.

On the Security tab, click or click Custom Level, and then under ActiveX controls and Plug-ins, do one of the following:

Tap or click Enable to allow ActiveX control auto prompt.

Tap or click Enable to allow Internet Explorer to display video and animation on a Web page that does not use an external media player.

Tap or click Enable to allow Internet Explorer to download signed ActiveX controls. If you want to receive a reminder every time you download an ActiveX control, click Prompt.

Tap or click Enable to allow Internet Explorer to "Run ActiveX controls and Plug-ins." If you want to receive a reminder every time you run ActiveX controls and Plug-ins, click Prompt.

Tap or click Enable to allow Internet Explorer to execute scripts on ActiveX controls marked as safe to execute scripts. If you want to receive a reminder every time you execute a script, click Prompt.

Tap or click OK, and then click or click OK again.

Attention

If you cannot change the ActiveX settings, you may not have the appropriate permissions to check with your system administrator.
