Internet Explorer finally going away

[TheWaterbug]

It's not just "unsupported" now; it'll actually stop launching:

Starting Wednesday, those who try to open the application will be directed to the company's more recent browser Microsoft Edge.

Who still has ancient cameras that can only be controlled/configured in IE?

Will they still work in Edge's "IE Mode"?

Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications. Microsoft Edge has Internet Explorer mode (“IE mode”) built in, so you can access those legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and applications straight from Microsoft Edge.

I'm assuming it won't stop launching on my win7 installs with updates shut off. Guess I'll find out soon enough. Disabling something that's installed and being used is IMO evil.

IE works best with IVMS-4200 on my machine. If I use Edge things like playback do not work 100%. One thing is the speed of the play back. I can only run at standard speed without being able to speed things up such as X2 or X4.

We should start a poll on which question is going to show up the most because nobody searches - IE going away or GMAIL not working LOL

Here are recent threads about Explorer with some possible solutions....but it appears some cameras will still be problematic not using IE (looking at you the PTZs and make time)

Internet Explorer

Question for you guys, with the upcoming demise of Internet Explorer on June 15th what browser are you guys planning to use for configuring camera settings? I've tried Chrome and it half way works, I can log into the camera but can't get into the settings, so it's not gonna work for me once IE...

PSA - Microsoft Edge Updates and Explorer

So good ole Microsoft has snuck something in Windows that we need to be aware of (at least those that need to use Explorer for accessing camera GUI). They have now made it so you cannot uninstall Edge, but then they also snuck in some Task Schedulers that run constantly. Some on my computer...

Can view cam feed in Explorer but not BlueIris

Hi, I have multiple SV3C 2 and 3mp bullet type cameras setup in BlueIris4 and am trying to add a couple newer PTZ 5MP SV3C cameras to BI. I can view the camera feeds in the direct ip link in a web browser but they do not display when pulling them into BI. I can ping the addresses no problem...

How to view Dahua cameras without browser plugins

Based on the advice from someone on this forum I started using Pale Moon. It works great.

Still working on three of my Windows 10 machines. More than likely once they receive the next Mother Ship update it will stop working.

Than again, since two of them have no Internet connection they will be fine . . .

Just checked here, for a laugh. It's past noon on Wednesday and IE still works fine and will continue to do so. I shut off Windows updates long ago on all our machines.

I've learned to live without Internet Explorer for the past few months. While I still have a few old cameras that require it, I use the Brave browser in it's place. While I can't view the camera in Brave, I can still make any change to the camera settings in Brave and the changes will save. If I need to view that the changes are correct, I just look at the view from Blue Iris. I don't miss internet Exploder at all.

"Hey remember the IE days? How'd that saying go... Internet Explorer. The #1 browser used to download a better browser."

As a reminder that one of the key things you should do is disable & delete the scheduled task as it relates to Edge. This is one of the primary reasons this stupid thing constantly tries to update / pop up with the annoying banner.

1. Search Bar: Type task scheduler
2. Disable all three Edge scheduled tasks
3. Delete each of the Edge tasks
4. Reboot the computer and validate these three scheduled tasks are gone.

NOTE: Depending upon what Windows 10 release you have this / these tasks may auto regenerate.

Forgot to add disabling the (BITS) background intelligent transfer service is also one of the main services that allow the security patches to over ride the delay / suspend update feature.

You'll know this is true when you have turned off all auto updates on the target machine. Even set it to defer for 30 plus days yet you will see the infamous pending update when you go to shut down the machine!

Killing the BITS service will prevent that from happening along with the other recommended steps.

It's Thursday and I'm still able to pull up IE on my work computer. I can't control the update settings on that machine (our IT department does), but there is a specific work related program/website that I can only access with IE, so it better continue working for a while!

I just went in to adjust day night profile settings and my IE tab is still working. I still have windows 10. It keeps asking to upgrade to edge and windows 11 but i close out those tabs.
