Didnt work.................................. any ideas anybody?
 
No matter what I tried, no form of IE (via command line, Edge, Firefox, IE itself, etc...) will work for me. I ended up installing the iVMS software in order to manage the Hikvision cameras that require IE. Unfortunately, iVMS has some serious issues, and is very frustrating to use. But if you've got enough patience, it's a "solution".

How to enable Native Internet Explorer in Windows 11 to access your IP cams.

Open Notepad:

Paste the single line of code below:

CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true

Save as forceIE.vbs

Make sure the the file name ends in .vbs not .txt, If it ends in .txt you must rename to .vbs

Your all set, click the new shortcut anytime you want native Internet Explorer
Great trick and works too. Thank you so much!!!
