Re: IE reborn: Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7 You can try to look it up online. Go to "manage add-ons" click tracking protection, just below click "get protection list online.." Listings there are for tracking and/or ad blocks, choose your poison. |

Re: IE reborn: Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7 said by Woody79_00:1. Right-Click IE10 and select Run As Administrator.
That's what I did. Many programs require Administrator privileges to change system settings. Some will ask to be elevated but some don't which is why I run as Admin as a matter of course (when changing settings).
Since "Enable Enhanced Protected Mode" requires a reboot Admin privileges are almost certainly required for it to actually take effect.

On that note, I enabled EPM via the Run As Administrator method and it seemed to actually take effect immediately after closing and reopening IE. I noticed all iexplore.exe instances were then 64-bit in Task Manager. No reboot required. I rebooted for good measure, but it didn't seem to needed. |

Some will ask to be elevated but some don't which is why I run as Admin as a matter of course (when changing settings). Since "Enable Enhanced Protected Mode" requires a reboot Admin privileges are almost certainly required for it to actually take effect. I run as Admin all the time. I got rid of UAC in the registry because I read if I did that then FINALLY Windows 8 would understand what "Administrator" means. Not only was I tired of UAC prompts even though I was already running as Admin, I really hated no prompt when I was running as Admin and then the program would not run as Admin becuse for some weird reason i was supposed to read Windows' mind and know that I still needed to elevate (to what I have no idea because I was already running as Admin...so the elevation was to "SUPERadmin" which the user has to mind read to know to do that? Absurd). What the heck is an Admin account for if it is not an Admin account? So, I read that the solution was to get rid of UAC entirely in the registry.
So, I had been assuming I was running as Admin when starting IE. I know Microsoft confirmed when I did the registry fix to get rid of UAC that I can no longer open Metro APPS which is fine since I'd like the ability to get rid of Metro entirely. Anyhow, after reading the recent posts here, I went to Windows Explorer and then to IE.exe (how come you can't start it as Admin from a Desktop shortcut or from the Taskbar, but only from going directly to the program folder)? I started it as Admin (no prompts as UAC is completely gone...not disabled but GONE). I tested it repeatedly unchecking EPM hitting apply then rechecking it, etc.
I thought I was successful in getting IE to run as full 64 bit with the tabs sandboxed when I clicked on a Favorites url to check if Java was correctly installed. I got a message that there was no Java installed which is incorrect but would be correct if it is running as full 64bit with no 32 bit processes. I then opened a couple more tabs and checked Process Explorer which showed the tabs running as 32 bit.  Soo, it appears to now be running as full 64bit except for the tabs not being sandboxed. Before I elevated to Admin to run it, it was showing Java installed and would run Java applets. So, I have gotten FURTHER in getting it to run as 64bit but the tabs still are running as 32bit.
I also installed Bing Bar again and clicked on some of its icons and they all worked (except Slacker radio that could not connect). Microsoft says Bing Bar doesn't work if IE is running on Win 8 with EPM enabled. I should have gotten a popup about it...I didn't.
I even did a direct connection in case Proxo was somehow interfering. Tabs were still 32bit.

I do some tech support in another forum and it's amazing how some (.NET based) software has issues (including on my Win7 x64 machine) on some machines but not others (running the same OS). Software, especially that written in high-level frameworks like .NET, have so many layers and thus complexity that it's a wonder it works at all.

kudos:4 | .NET is and always has been very problematic..with many issues that, as you said, one machine will have and another will not yet they both run the same OS and have all patches, etc. I began using .NET way back on 98SE when 1.0 was still in BETA (I was a beta tester for a program that was being re-written using .NET platform).
I'd like to find someone with Win 8 who has this working correctly. There is one difference between IE 10 on Win 7 64 bit and IE 10 on Win 8 64 bit and that is that Win 7 cannot do App Container for the tabs. Only Win 8 when EPM is turned on runs the tabs in 64 bit AND ALSO in an app container. Maybe my problem is connected to something not working with App Container so IE reverts to running the tabs as 32bit?
I only got one reply so far at TechNet forums. An MVP didn't seem to understand what I was asking and just said that I could see bitness from "Help About IE" box. That is not true for me or for others who have the question about how do they tell if IE 10 is running as hybrid (which is default on 64 bit Windows 8) or as full 64 bit. They say About IE doesn't say..but maybe that is only that it doesn't say if IE is running the tabs as 32 bit. But this MVP didn't say any of this. He just said to check About IE box. So, I posted again and tried to explain better and linked to that Microsoft article.
I don't use IE much but I'd like to run it in full 64bit mode with the tabs in an app container when I do use it.

| said by Mele20:I don't use IE much but I'd like to run it in full 64bit mode... I wasn't aware, until your post, that IE10 x64 didn't run in full 64-bit mode.
That said I've discovered that many "64-bit" programs (even Microsoft's) run in a "hybrid" mode. When I purchased Office 2010 I installed the 64-bit version but found very quickly that it wouldn't work with Microsoft's own "64-bit" version of Mobile Device Center. As it turns out that is a "hybrid" that only works with the 32-bit version of Office!
My guess is that many 64/32-bit issues are just like the ones that occurred with 32/16-bit with the introduction of WinNT 3.1 and later Win95. One day 64-bit will be true but for now we have to live with "hybrids".

It is sort of like the situation was a few years ago with DEP. I have had hardware DEP on XP for many years but many programs had to be opted out or they wouldn't run or would run and suddenly crash and sometimes also freeze the PC. Even after most browsers were capable of running with DEP on, IE, Word, etc. still would not run with it on. These days, I still can't use Always ON for DEP on the XP computer because one program that is no longer developed won't run if I use always on setting and another one no longer developed runs but the GUI part doesn't run and this program you have to be able to interact with it. But all browsers and Microsoft programs now run with DEP on on XP but the progress for achieving this was very slow (especally to me as I got if not the first, one of the first, Intel processors capable of hardware DEP so it has been a long, long time before I could really use that "neat" feature and I still can't do Always on.
Microsoft says the reason that IE 10 runs as hybrid on Win 7 or 8 64bit (unless you turn on EPM) is because things break if you use full 64 bit IE (with or without App Container). That's just like trying to use hardware DEP for all programs a few years ago on XP.

Re: IE reborn: Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7 Added this tweak to my w7 x64 ie 10 install;
Enable More Simultaneous Downloads:
MaxConnectionsPerServer
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Both options set as 32
Ive noticed no ill effects for those that had this tweak applied to ie9.
After I installed ie10 ive noticed an extra dllhost.exe under process described as com surrogate, is this normal? I should also ass that ive enabled enhanced protection as was described in previous posts. I think this is linked to it but I could be wrong, it only popped up after the ie10 install though. Running x64 ie10.

Re: IE reborn: Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7 I have it working correctly, it works as intended if you don't muck with the OS doing things you don't have any idea what the ramifications are.
I'll tell you why its not working, its because not only have you disabled UAC, but you went into the registry and hacked UAC even further to the point the entire security model of the OS is now broken.
Listen Mele, disabling UAC is running as root user....so whats the point security wise? AppContainer isn't going to do you no good anyways because your running as root.
That would be like setting up Software Restriction Polices to apply to all users except local administrators, and then running as administrator/root all the time disabling UAC and then expecting SRP to actaully work......
The first rule i learned in Linux use was never, never, never, never, never, never, ever, run as the root user period...Root is only to be used to update the system and it better have a strong password on it.....you don't use the root account for the daily function of your computer? thats crazy to expect any kind of security when doing that...
The reason yours isn't working is because you have changed the registry and hacked/disaled UAC...AppContainers are not going to work when you do that...because AppContainers are designed to restrict the browser "when run as a user with UAC on" not when the system is being run as root.
You have most likely not only messed up UAC, but you have probably ruined your SAT (Security Access Tokens)»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_token and your NTFS permissions and security may be borked beyond repair thanks to you mucking with the registry and made changes to ACL's....
In your case Mele, the only way to get AppContainers to work on Windows 8 for you would be a re-install of the OS and leave UAC alone....its not different then the sudo program for Linux that has been around for years....leave it alone and don't mess with the registry.
If you hate the Metro screen so much (im not a big fan) then use Classic Shell to bypass it...Classic Shel uses key presses and doesn't muck with the Registry or any other OS files when it does it, and thats the reason I am using it....
But thats why yours isn't working..you have bypassed the entire Windows security model...so whats really the point? why would you even expect it to work? when your running as root....root is Superadmin so its counter-productive to thing restrictive rights security issues would even work while running as root... |

Under Win7, and Vista before it, the (actual) Administrator account is disabled by default. One can use a standard user account that has administrator privileges when elevated. Is Win8 the same?
