Windows 10: Using an ActiveX plug-in with Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 11

If anyone still needs to run an ActiveX plug-in with Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 11, I couldn't get it to run. I enabled ActiveX etc.. in the control panel/Internet options/security/custom level section and also went to default browser settings in Edge, selected incompatible sites etc.. but no go. However, I created this web browser Site Surfer about 10 years ago that uses Microsoft's web browser control and I can now continue to use the ActiveX plug-in which is for the cameras at my work. My Site Surfer program is free to use for eternity!! : https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Brow

IE 11 doesnt work in windows 10 after closing the ActiveX add.

Hello Petra,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• 
  Are you using wired/wireless network connection?
  
• 
  What is the exact error message you are getting?
  
• 
  Are you able to open websites using other web browsers and on other devices?
  
• 
  Does the issue occur specific to one website?
  

ActiveX controls are small apps that allow websites to provide content such as videos and games. They also let you interact with content like toolbars and stock tickers when you browser the web.



I suggest you to check if similar issue persists when browsing using other web browsers. If the issue persists, I suggest you to check if your network is connected appropriately on your device.



If the issue does not persists on the other browsers, I suggest you to enable ActiveX settings on
Internet Explorer by referring
to the link below:
