Windows 10: Cannot verify Java in IE 11 Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello!

Sorry since this is not relevant to Windows 10, but I post here in hope that someone knows and can help since Google is not always helpful...

I got my hands on Windows Server 2012 R2 this weekend. I installed on a customer's server and before I give it to him, I thought I would compare it to Windows 8.1 and 10 and see the similarities and differences. The first thing I noticed was that I could not change the desktop icons unless I enabled the Desktop Experience Feature first. I then noticed that it could accept Windows 8 drivers, as expected, and it could run almost anything that can be run on Windows 8/10. Then it might be my idea, but I think it is somewhat faster than running Windows 8/10 on the same hardware. Probably this is because most features are disabled by default making it lighter than a full-featured Windows 8 installation.

Now my question: I installed Flash, Java and Silverlight, mostly to check compatibility. I noticed that Java installed successfully (both 32-bit and 64-bit version, just in case) but when trying to verify Java installation in Internet Explorer 11 I get a message that is not installed or disabled! I checked both in IE settings and in Java Control Panel, it is enabled and of course there is registered in Programs and Features! Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance and excuse me for the off-topic post.

Stop Windows 10 upgrade on domain

Is there an update available to Server 2012 (non R2) to stop the Windows 10 upgrade via Group Policy?

This link only provides updates for Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012 R2, nothing for Server 2012 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3065988

Is there any .admx files I can download from anywhere?

 

Well! I found the solution! I had to disable IE Enhanced Protection Mode, as described in here. I know the post is not related to Windows 10, sorry for that, but since I found a solution I wanted to share to help others having the same problem. Case closed! *Cool
