Windows 10: Are keys the same or different under CurrentVersion\Explorer vs...

There is a key under ...\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer that I want to change or add in order to get the Taskbar behave after reboot.


But My Windows 10 OS does not have the ...\CurrentVersion\Policies folder showing in regedit.


Will it have the same effect if I change or add that same key to ...\CurrentVersion\Explorer ?


Thanks,

Sincerely, JS

Cortana switched to Internet Explorer

Hi,



When you say “tried uninstalling Internet Explorer”, how exactly you tried uninstalling it?

For your information, I like to share that Internet Explorer is an inbuilt browser in Windows operating system and you cannot uninstall it.



To check the Windows build, I suggest you to follow the step below.

• Press Windows key + R key, type winver and press
  Enter key.

Also, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Type Default in the Search bar and select
  Default Programs from the list of search result.
  
• 
  Find and click on Reset option at the bottom of the page.
  
• 
  Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved.
  

Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us with the updated status of the issue for further assistance on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.

Internet Explorer Pop-Up invisible in Desktop

Thank you for the update, David. For further troubleshooting, we would like to know if Internet Explorer appears in Task Manager even without starting Internet Explorer or it appears and remains in Task Manager after opening and closing Internet Explorer?

If after opening Internet Explorer and it appears and remains in the Task Manager, we suggest opening Internet Explorer without add-ons and see if the issue persists. Kindly follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Start button (lower-left corner) in Windows, and click
  Run.

Alternatively, you can press the Windows logo key and the R key on your keyboard.

• In the Run box, type iexplore.exe -extoff
  and press Enter.
  

If doing the steps above eliminates the issue, then we suggest following this
article for you to be able to manage/disable add-ons that's causing the issue in Internet Explorer 11. Managing
other versions are also available at the bottom of the article.

We will be waiting for your update.
