BUG: IE11, windows 8.1 enhanced protected mode prevents pages from loading. Slow browsing experiece

if enhanced protected mode is enabled in IE11 on windows 8.1 it prevents many pages from loading in a timely manner.
eg. TechNet.microsoft.com; dotnetcurry.com
this is reproducible on multiple machines.
please resolve.

Hi,
Based on my test, it works fine on my windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Firstly, we need to check the following:
1. Do you mean the issue is only occurred when you enable the enhanced protected mode?
2. How about other browsers? Do they also meet the same issue?
3. If there is a computer on the other network, please check if it also meets this issue.
Please try the following to check the issue:
1. Disable the security software temporarily and see if it works.
2. Reinstall the IE 11 for a test.

How to make 32-bit-only add-ons work with Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11 and Enhanced Protected Mode enabled?

Hi everybody,
in IE10 I had the chance to use 32-bit-tabs even with EPM. In IE11 my 32-bit add-ons are all marked as "incompatible".
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards, Don

Hi Don,
The ”Enhanced Protected Mode ” feature of Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 has been simplified and it doesn`t provide the “Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode” feature. The Enhanced Protected Mode is based on the 64 bit process.
So that may be the reason.
Here is a link for reference of Enhanced Protected Mode :

How do you disable Enhanced Protected Mode in the Metro/Modern version of IE11?

Hi All,
We need to try and disable Enhanced Protected Mode in the Metro/Modern version of IE11 as it's causing SSO problems with our proxy server (prompting for credentials).
I have already disabled EPM on the desktop version and SSO is now working, but only for the desktop IE.
It looks like turning of Protected Mode (for the Internet zone) resolves the issue on both the Metro and desktop IE versions but we'd obviously rather not do that!
any ideas?
Cheers,
G

I have already disabled EPM on the desktop version and SSO is now working, but only for the desktop IE.
Looking at the IECompatData.xml file suggests that there is some kind of override involving EPM but that would be specified on a host basis. Can "SSO" be expressed in terms of a set of host (or domain) names?
Robert Aldwinckle
Don's link points to this which may clarify (a bit?) what EPMCompatMode involves

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06 and IE10 enhanced protected mode. Downloaded PDF documents do not open

I have Reader XI 11.0.06 installed with IE10. If I enable Enhanced Protected Mode via group policy, the plugin loads documents inside the browser window. However, if the site forces the browser to download the document, EPM blocks the Reader plugin. The address bar in IE shows that it is trying to load the PDF from the IE cache.
Is there a fix for this issue?

Having done some more research on this, I just can't see that the advertised support for enhanced protected mode actually exists. Anyone got it working?

When opening a PDF in IE 10 with Enhanced Protection Mode it displays "This website wants to run acropdf.dll"

I am running my application which requires JRE on Internet Explorer 10. Since the IE need to run in 64 bit mode, we have enabled the "Enhanced Protection Mode" in Security option of Internet Options in Advanced tab. But my application also opens
up PDF in the browser, when the page with PDF is invoked it displays "The webpage wants to run 'AcroPDF.dll'. If you trust this site, you can disable Enhanced Protection Mode for this site to run the control.(Disable)(Always Ignore)". And on
clicking any option the PDF is not displayed.
We would not be able to disable the Enhanced Protection Mode as the 64 Bit JRE would not be invoked for other part of the application.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Navin

Configure Adobe Reader to not use a Web Browser to open PDF documents... (see the Adobe.com for admx files to apply this setting by group policy) (
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/392489 )
Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences>Internet>uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
It seems that Adobe have recently changed the location of that setting in Adobe Reader (at least on 11.0.4). They've now hidden it under Edit > Accessibility > Setup Assistant > Then on page 5 of 5, there's a tick box to toggle 'Display PDF
documents in the Web Browser'.
However, it doesn't work like it used to though, as it won't just open a PDF in Adobe Reader instead of the browser. It will instead ask to disable Enhanced Protected Mode to run acroPDF.dll.
And if you try disabling the Adobe PDF reader add-on in Manage Add-ons to try and force it to open in Reader, then when you visit a PDF link, you just get the same blank page (shown below) with the black crossed out circle in the top left, but without the
message bar at the bottom of the window. The only way to open the PDF is to either turn off Enhanced Protected Mode and allow acroPDF.dll to run or if there's an original link to the PDF, right click and select 'save-as'.
I think it's about time Adobe released an x64 PDF viewer... Or at least there should be an open/save dialogue box in IE.
If you've got Reader 11.0.4 installed, you can try it for yourself with this PDF link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf
(The below screenshot is with 'Display PDF documents in the Web Browser' UN-ticked in Adobe Reader settings, so it should open in Reader instead. But it doesn't. And with the Reader add-on disabled you get the same page, but without the
message at the bottom.)

Disable Enhanced Protected Mode with IEAK, IE 11

Hello,
Enhanced protection mode is breaking Java. We build IE 11 packages with the IEAK, and I can't seem to find the setting in the IEAK to disable enhanced mode. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Hi,
To add, we could modify this Group policy preference to change EPM settings:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Advanced Page
Here you will find the preference "Turn on Enhanced Protected Mode". Double-click it to open its configuration page and select one of the following values for it:
Not configured means that individual users can turn the feature on or off individually and without restrictions.
Enabled means that it is turned on for all user accounts and that it cannot be turned off, not even by admins.
Disabled means that it is turned off or disabled for all user accounts, and that it cannot be enabled by users, not even admins
In addition, here is an update available to disable EPM by default, more information, please check here:
An update is available that disables Enhanced Protected Mode by default in Internet Explorer 11
Hope this may help

What is Enhanced Protected Mode?
Why would you disable it?

Hi Itai,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
Please double check If the UAC is off, so Enhanced Protected Mode doesn't do anything.

EPM (Enhanced Protection Mode)

I am using IE9 (Win7--64-bit). Why am I being asked to Disable EPM in Internet Explorer? EPM was introduced in IE10 and 11!! I did disable Protection Mode in my settings, but each time I attempted to open a pdf document, the "...Disable EPM in
Internet Explorer..." message would surface. Any nuggets of wisdom? I do not want to use IE10 nor IE 11.
Thanks ep

How are you opening the PDF file? Adobe Reader? What version? The latest?
That something you're running thinks you need to disable EPM may be a matter of that
something not getting what it expects/needs from your system.
I have no specific knowledge about what Adobe Reader expects/needs, but it's not hard to imagine their latest version of the Add-on doesn't get tested too much working with an outdated browser version. And much as you may love it, IE9 is outdated.
No one can blame you for not wanting to upgrade to a newer browser version, given that a lot of incompatibilities were introduced in IE10 and IE11, but software tech does march on whether we like it or not, and if you've chosen to hang back with old
software you need to understand that you might need to be conservative about what you upgrade. In a "big picture" sense, it won't be a viable way to continue forever. You'll simply see more and more niggling little things go wrong.
In this case it just sounds to me like a current Add-on doesn't work with an outdated browser - not hard to believe.

Reader X plugin integration with Windows Explorer 8 and Protected Mode

Hello
I am viewing pdfs with Reader 10.1.3 within ie8 on XP

Hi Fernando,
Here's a statement that hopefully helps or at least solves your mystery:
While Protected Mode can be disabled for PDFs viewed with the product, Adobe continues to protect you when 3rd party software invokes a Reader process; that is, Protected Mode sandboxing cannot be disabled for shell extensions. For example, when you use Windows Explorer to preview a PDF in the Preview Pane, it starts a Reader process to display the preview. In such cases, Task Manager shows that two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and that the operation is occurring with Protected Mode enabled.

I click *disable protection on this page* from the shield icon and it closes the window, it won't allow access to this http&https site but I know & trust it.

I am going to a website I trust. I launch the link, the page comes up blank with the padlock icon with a message that says Firefox has blocked content this isn't secure. I know the site is https but has some http content. I click the *disable protection on this page* button, but it doesn't allow the site to resolve. It closes the page. How do I get the site to resolve, especially since I know & trust the site?

Can you please give the link to that site so I can test it.

Enhanced protected mode and global named shared memory object

Good morning.
I've written a bho that do data exchange with a system service. The service creates named shared memory objects in the Global namespace. Outside appcontainer IE 11 sandboxed everything works fine lowering objects integrity level. Inside the sandboxed environment
OpenFileMappingW seems to return a valid handle but the calls to MapViewOfFile always gives access denied. What i'm missing? Thank you.
Service code for security descriptor creation:
if (InitializeSecurityDescriptor(pSA->lpSecurityDescriptor, SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_REVISION))
if (ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW(L"D:P(A;;GA;;;WD)(A;;GA;;;AC)", SDDL_REVISION_1, &pSecDesc, NULL) == TRUE)//
           BOOL fAclPresent = FALSE;
           BOOL fAclDefaulted = FALSE;
           if (GetSecurityDescriptorDacl(pSecDesc, &fAclPresent, &pDacl, &fAclDefaulted) == TRUE)
               bRetval = SetSecurityDescriptorDacl(pSA->lpSecurityDescriptor, TRUE, pDacl, FALSE);
       if (bRetVal ==TRUE && ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW(L"S:(ML;;NW;;;LW)", SDDL_REVISION_1, &pSecDesc, NULL) == TRUE)
           BOOL fAclPresent = FALSE;
           BOOL fAclDefaulted = FALSE;
           if (GetSecurityDescriptorSacl(pSecDesc, &fAclPresent, &pSacl, &fAclDefaulted) == TRUE)
               bRetval = SetSecurityDescriptorSacl(pSA->lpSecurityDescriptor, TRUE, pSacl, FALSE);
               OutputDebugStringW(L"SACL ok.");
   return bRetval;

       else StringCchPrintfW(data, 512, L"%s\\Global\\UrlfilterServiceIE.%d",appcontainernamedobjectpath, a);//in EPM
       *hQueue = OpenFileMappingW(FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, TRUE, data);//FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS

Ciao Ritchie, thanks for coming here. ;-)
I call (only) OpenFileMapping and MapViewOfFile inside my code and i get access denied at the first try. As i stated before this happens when IE11 is working inside EPM 32/64bit mode, outside EPM it works as it should. However i decided to take a different
approach to do IPC, because, you want it or not, the service is up and running as SYSTEM... Still i'm really interested about two points:
1) can i use global kernel objects in EPM mode?
2) if one is "yes, you can": what's wrong with my code? The security descriptor? Something else?
Thanks all.

Clamshell Mode Prevents Waking from Sleep

I've got a MacBook Pro (Intel, 2.33GHz) running 10.5. Since installing Leopard I've been bumping into periodic issues with trying to wake from sleep while in clamshell mode. (I've got a Samsung LCD monitor and a USB keyboard plugged into it, and most of the time the laptop itself stays closed.) Every now and then--mostly if the laptop has been asleep for a while, say, overnight or all day--it'll refuse to wake up. I've never had one of the kernel panics described in this thread: it just won't wake up, even if I open the laptop, until I unplug the external monitor from the monitor-out socket. Once I unplug the external, the onboard screen comes right on, and I can even re-attach the external monitor and it'll work just fine; but if I close the laptop, I'm back at Square 1 with a comatose computer.
Restarting the machine doesn't help. Tossing the PowerManagement.plist file solves the problem temporarily, but eventually it recurs. Anybody have any insights? Other things I might try? Similar experiences?

Try Ejecting the External HD before sleeping the Mac.
Then see if the Mac Mini will wake and re-mount the External HD.

Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin? If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers). Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Please help, I'm a Ballroom Dancer and need my music back.
Thanks.

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Windows 8, 64-bit, Flash 11.3, pages not loading properly?

I've just got a new 64-bit laptop with Windows 8. Websites using Flash keep crashing on Firefox, but work fine on Chrome and IE10.
I tried the suggestions in Hot Topics here 'Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox' and here 'Flash 11.3 crashes', by downgrading to Flash 10.3, but it didn't help, probably because they're about Windows 7.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I now have the latest versions of both Adobe and Firefox, and I still have this problem.
Come on Firefox, get your act together and talk to Adobe about this problem with Windows 8 compatibility.
