Windows 10: Stop "How tracking protection works" popup

Will this stop eventually, or how do I disable it?

:)

 

Unable to "Turn on Tracking Protection" for a specific administrator account

IE11 (automatic updates), Win10.

I'm unable to set Tracking Protection working for a specific user account. While for all other user accounts (normal users) in the same machine Tracking Protection works, for the administrator account it cannot be enabled.

I have downloaded 3 tracking protection lists that are in status "Enabled".

The lists can be enabled/disabled freely.

Even though all 3 lists are enabled, tracking protection does not work at all.

When I click on Settings -> Safety, the corresponding menu option always reads "Turn on Tracking Protection" no matter how many times I select it. In the other accounts where the tracking protection works this menu option reads "Turn off Tracking Protection".

The account's personalized tracking protection list remains in status "Disabled" no matter how many times I have tried to enable it. Although I do not need this list at all, it is an indication/confirmation that something is wrong with my tracking protection.
For the other user accounts the personalized tracking protection list can be freely enabled/disabled.

I run the ProcessMonitor to see if there is any kind of access issues with the administrator account, but it looks pretty good. No "Access Denied" issues, no weird results.

I also completely removed all IE folders in appdata folder and all IE enties under registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer. Everything was recreated at IE11 first launch, however the issue remains.

Any suggestions?

 

Tracking protection

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Tracking protection is an improvement in the time it takes to load some pages faster. It helps to prevent your browsing info being sent to third-party content providers on sites you visit by blocking content from those providers. This helps keep your
browsing activity more private. To turn on Tracking Protection, you need to install a Tracking Protection List. Think of a Tracking Protection Lists as a “do not call” list. Internet Explorer blocks any third–party content from sites on the list, and limits
the info that those third–party sites can collect about you.

Hope this helps to resolve the issue. Please revert for any clarification on this or any Windows issue. We will be glad to help you.

 

IE11 Tracking Protection List link broken

In IE11 (11.540.15063.0) when "Get a Tracking Protection List online..." is selected from Manage Add-Ons a 404 error is displayed for the URL http://iegallery.com/en/trackingprotectionlists/

If this link is pasted into Chrome it redirects to
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/iegallery and does display the tracking protection lists.

Why is IE not showing this link?

Steps taken to try fix (unsuccessfully):

• Clear cache
• Reset IE11 settings

Thanks
