Unreads Sidebar Setting not visible in Mattermost 4.7 - mattermost

We just upgraded to Mattermost 4.7 but there is no "Unreads" Sidebar Setting in the front-end. I can find it in the Mattermost peer-to-peer channel, so I know where it should be, but in our installation the feature is not visible.
Does anyone know what we are missing? We are not using the Enterprise version, but according to the documentation this should be in the community edition.
https://docs.mattermost.com/help/settings/account-settings.html?highlight=unreads#group-unreads-channels

As this is an experimental feature, you need to enable it in your config.json file before the setting will become available in individual users' Account Settings. To do this, in the ServiceSettings block of config.json you should set ExperimentalGroupUnreadChannels to either default_on or default_off (to have it be enabled or disabled by default respectively).

I can't start Internet Explorer 11, always Edge is opened in Windows 10

I have to test a product on Internet Explorer but when I try to start it always Edge browser is opened. I tried to set IE as default browser but did not help. I try to set Chrome or Firefox as default but also not help. I tried to uninstall then reinstall IE component from 'Uninstall programs - Turns windows feature on or off' but also did not help.
I have upgraded my Windows to Version 1909 x64 but also before this update the problem existed. I am using a Dell Latitude E5470 laptop. I also search the IE and Edge group policy settings but I don't find anything which help solving this problem.
Your suggestions, ideas and help would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
For me, I was able to fix the behavior by searching for "Internet Explorer Compatibility" in the Edge settings panel. Then setting the "Open Sites in Edge" setting to "Never."
I have had a similar behavior in Windows 10 20H2 (As of writing this answer, the latest Windows 10 build so far). I had a scheduled task which opens a website at a given time, the command there is:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" https://some.webiste.com
After upgrading to 20H2 it always opened in Edge, also manually browsing to that website was redirected to Edge.
I found a setting in Internet Explorer under Internet Options -> Advanced Tab -> Browsing section -> Uncheck Enable third party extensions.
Note: This might need a restart to take effect and disable also other extensions but unfortunately as of this day there seems to be no other options to browse a website in IE which needs IE for one or the other reason.
Edit:
This behavior I was experiencing seems to be a DLL (ie_to_edge_bho.dll) file which comes with Edge and is being installed in IE. There is a static list of websites which get automatically redirected to Edge. Disabling this extension is greyed out and not supported out of the box, other than disabling all extensions via the option described above.
This setting lets you decide whether to open all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List in Microsoft Edge. If you use this setting, you must also turn on the Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list policy setting and you must include at least one site in the Enterprise Mode Site List.
Enabling this setting automatically opens all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List in Microsoft Edge.
Disabling, or not configuring this setting, opens all sites based on the currently active browser.
Note: If you've also enabled the Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\Send all intranet sites to Internet Explorer 11 policy setting, then all intranet sites will continue to open in Internet Explorer 11.

The problem was with 20H2(Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise ver 10.0.19042) when I received the same complaint from multiple users.
So this has been sorted out using below registry fix as mentioned by #alpar
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode and set RestrictIE value from 1 to 0
For me, the correct answer was the one provided by #josibu.
I was trying to use the performance profiler in Visual Studio 2019 for a Web project. For this function, there is no way to convince Visual Studio 2019 to use anything other than Internet Explorer. Even on Windows 11, it tries to run iexplore.exe when no such program exists. For those machines that do have Internet Explorer installed, but crippled by Microsoft, disable third party extension, as directed by #josibu.
You may get a message that the setting will not take effect until you restart your system. In my case, this was not needed. The change worked after I simply closed Internet Explorer.

intellij : "search results are not loaded check the internet connection"

Using Intelliji for Java, I'm trying to get cucumber plugin, so i go to the file dropdown menu and go to settings menu and go to plugins. I type in cucumber in the plugins search bar. But nothing is found in the search results.
The message given is " search results are not loaded check the internet connection "
I also get " marketplace plugins are not loaded. Check the internet connection and >refresh< "
My internet connection is fine. I've already downloaded a load of dependancies using maven via intellij. the refresh button doesn't help. Why does intellij think the problem is no internet connection? How do I get intellij to find plugins?
I needed to set up a proxy under Appearance & Behavior Settings, System Settings, HTTP Proxy. I selected auto detect proxy settings. After this I was able to see plugins in the marketplace window.
For me I was able to get the marketplace working when I went to
Configure>Settings>HTTP Proxy Settings> Auto-detect proxy settings>Automatic Proxy configuration URL: https://plugins.jetbrains.com
Actually it seems to be working even without the Automatic Proxy configuration URL disabled
The changes of the settings work for me:
As mentioned in one of the comments on this link, I made the following changes:
Enabled Auto-detect proxy settings under Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy.
Removed the below flag under the Help > Custom VM Options.
-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
Restarted Intellij after making these changes. Made these changes on Intellij Ultimate 2019.3.3
There are a couple of things you can try.
I will start with what worked for me!
I felt my IP was blocking the plugins, I enabled the VPN and it worked!
for some version IntelliJ looks for plugins using HTTP protocol instead of
HTTPS, so add the following lines
IntelliJ bin folder-> idea.properties,
idea.plugins.host=https://plugins.jetbrains.com
try disabling the SNIExtension, Help->Edit Custom VM options
Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
Such questions we should refer to the log of IDEA at first.
visit the menu Help ~> Show Log in Exporer, will open the directory of log,
For me,the log file is C:\Users\lawev\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.1\log\idea.log.
open the file we can find such contenet
2020-09-10 12:39:16,795 [ 158219] INFO - ateSettings.impl.UpdateChecker - failed to load plugin descriptions from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/idea: SSL error probably caused by disabled SNI
Now I see ,visit the menu Help ~> Edit Custom VM Options, check or add this line
-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=true
now it's ok!
my envirment is win10 1909,Intellij UI 2020.1
Starting IntelliJ (2019.2.1) on Windows 10 64-bit in Admin mode fixed this for me.
in my case, my goland settings somehow get corrputs, i delete the folder ~/.GoLand2019.2, and restart goland, then the marketplace works.
in my case, it happen because your internet service provider/ISP block https://plugins.jetbrains.com. There is 2 ways i solve it:
Before i use Sm'rtfren SIM Card Phone(from my country) provider which is can not load marketplace plugin. Then i switch to Tr'e SIM Card Phone provider and it works!
You can use UrbanVPN Desktop software, i use windows version. it will change ISP IP and then it works!
I encounter the similar problem in Android Studio when I want to install the Flutter& Dart plugins .
For me,I install Shadowsocks vpn proxy(https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks) in my computer.Then I change the Shadowsocks vpn proxy to global mode. After this I was able to see plugins in the marketplace window.Hope it can help you

Bypass Windows 10 'Untrusted Fonts' settings for a font used in our Website

Windows 10 has a feature to block any font outside the %windir%/Fonts directory from loading in a browser.
Our entire website (AEM + Apache webserver) uses a proprietary purchased font which is hence blocked in all PC's. Is there any way to bypass this setting so that the font loads seamlessly in all users.
We need to do something from AEM/Apache websrver/Akamai CDN end because any local changes will not be possible for end users to follow.
I didn't find much help online for this.
The documentation says - "By default, this feature is not turned on." so i would assume you are facing issues on company issued laptops that have this security feature enabled.
Depending on your fonts licensing you could choose to do following -
Use user-agent information to detect if the OS is windows 10
If Windows 10 is detected show an overlay with the link to download and install fonts
To let the font work with this setting, it is to install the font on each machine with the Untrusted font setting turned on and then declare the font with a fallback.
The second option would it be to whitelist the application, in this case, the browser to be whitelisted as explained in the Microsoft website here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/keep-secure/block-untrusted-fonts-in-enterprise
I had a similar issue, with Icomoon, but the concepts would be the same one: install the font in the system and then declare a fallback font.
This might help you in the process:

Wanted to enable the "Directupdate feature in the Worklight application"

We have already delivered the 1.0 version of our Worklight application. By mistake we have disabled the Direct update feature by updating the attribute "connectOnStartup = false"
We dont want to redeploy the application to markets (AppStore/GooglePlay) again, but wanted to make our users to utilize the direct update feature. We do have the access to WL server.
Our issue is little different from the one which is already discussed here "IBM Worklight - How to disable Direct Update?"
How can we provide the direct update feature to our end users without redeploying the application to AppStore/Googleplay. And just by changing the Webresources of the application.
We are using the adapters in our application but no where we are explicitly calling the "WL.Client.connect".
The Direct Update feature is always enabled by default.
You need to edit your question and explain what it is you've done in your Worklight project.
The feature will not work if:
You have set connectOnStartup:false
You are not using WL.Client.connect
You are not invoking adapters
You disabled it via the checkbox in Worklight Console
Otherwise, the feature will work, and a check for Direct Update will be performed:
On application startup
On return to foreground
The application will need Re-deployment on the App stores.
So the solution to your problem is
Rebuild the Application with connectOnStartup:true.
Redeploy the Application on App Stores
Once the users download the updated application, future updates will go to the users directly.
While rebuilding, make sure that you change the Version of your application within ApplicationDescriptor.

Is Opera's kiosk mode still supported in latest version(s)?

The organization I work for has deployed the Opera web browser to many (Windows) workstations; each is using the kiosk mode. At one time, there was a very detailed help page for this feature. However, I can no longer find it. Rather, this link:
http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/
...simply takes me to the main Opera help page...
http://www.opera.com/help
Has Opera stopped supporting this feature? Or, are they simply retooling their help documentation?
12.14 still supports the kiosk mode. During a transition to a new publishing system recently, this link seems to have been dropped. Documentation has been notified and will fix the link. In the mean time, this should work: http://web.archive.org/web/20130223014915/http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/
