"Access permission denied" when trying to download Java using IE11

This is not a file or folder issue, it's a website which I had no problem accessing on win7 and Vista, only since downloading win10. I have Microsoft Edge which Java says won't work (the website uses Java). I also have Chrome which doesn't support java so
I'm using IE11 which should work. I'm logged in as a local administrator as far as I know. At any rate the above steps didn't work and as far as I can tell the above link is not about websites but files and folders. Still scratching my head.
