We have installed VUgen12.53 in Windows 2012 Server R2. WHen we are trying to record, we get an exception that, ' You need to close all Internet Explorer Browsers' After clicking 'OK' another popup appears ' Please close IE and all instances manually'
There are no IE instances opened and I have checked the Running process, even there I can't see any process related to IE. THis issue is occurring for every Browser (CHrome / Firefox) which are present in that Server.
Any Suggestions on how we can solve this?
this issue can happen when there are other users that running one of the browsers.
try to make sure that there are no other users with those process.

I have been building some new reports and hosting them in our SQL Server 2017 db and the current version of SSRS. However I am having an issue when running them from a laptop in Chrome in that they start to run and take a long time to complete. But if I run the same report in MS report builder from the same laptop it runs fine. It also runs fine in IE 11 and also in Chrome if I open it in an Incognito window. In case it is relevant the report has 3 parameters a Start and End date and a multi value parameter for the products we sell. Also the report uses a saved database account to connect to the datasource rather than needing to try and pass through the users network credentials.
If I open it on my Admin Terminal server it completely fine in Chrome without needing to do anything like use incognito mode. I even wondered if it was down to me being logged into a Google account in Chrome on my laptop but not being logged into one on the Terminal Server. But after logging into the same Google account on the terminal server the report still runs fine.
The authentication seems to be work fine as I can get onto the report portal without the need to manually enter my credentials and I can also navigate around the folders and reports and administer permissions and create subscriptions etc.
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.
I upgraded IE on my machine and found the upgraded developer tools better. However whenever I select the Network tab, IE hangs or freezes. I can do nothing on it.
Is there some setting that I might be missing to get it to work?
There is an entry in Microsoft Connect database for that. Unfortunately, there is no fix for now...

My work around is to start IE with just a blank new tab. I turn on Network and then navigate to wherever I need to do my work. So far I've been lock up free when doing this.
I installed Microsoft SharePoint and Project PWA on Windows Server 2008 R2.
When I want to open Library in Windows Explorer, I randomly get an error:
Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
When I open IE it's working for 1st and 2nd time, but after some clicks it's not working anymore and I need to restart IE and then it normally works for couple of times.
When it not working through Sharepoint it also not works via \server\DavWWWRoot\PWA and oposite.
I'm searching through the web for weeks and didn't find any solution.
Do you have any idea what should be wrong here. Any suggestion is welcome :)
I had the same exact issue with Windows 7 and explorer view. The following steps resolved the issue for me:
First - be sure that the Web Client service is running (run>services.msc).
Next - In I.E. check Tools>Internet Options>Security>Local Intranet>Sites>Advanced and add the site that you want to use explorer view with.
This finally fixed it for me. I hope that you have already found a solution to this issue! I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a solution to this problem!
This error message is a symptom to a billion different problems.
I solved this problem when I realized my XP32 box could do this just fine with IE8. So I reverted to IE8 in 7x64 (you have to do it by uninstalling updates for IE until you're back at 8) and it didn't work. The build versions were different and on the 7x64 "about" box it said IE8 was using 256-bit cipher while in XP32 it had 128-bit. That to me was a hint that there may be 64-bit issues even when you run the 32-bit executable.
Then I found this hotfix so I reinstalled the windows update for IE10 and then installed this hotfix. Now I'm able to open the TeamCenter site in question in windows Explorer. IE10 reports it's version 10.0.9200.16686. I cannot guarantee that it was the hotfix alone (and not also the reinstallation of IE10) which fixed it. But I'm willing to bet it was the hotfix alone.
In XP I found it impossible to then map this network location to a drive letter, as mapping doesn't like URL's. However in Windows 7 you can transform the URL so that it is interpreted as a Windows share. If the URL of a given folder is of this form:
https://somesharepoint.com/folder1/folder2/folder3
you can also access it as
\\somesharepoint.com#SSL\DavWWWRoot\folder1\folder2\folder3
and, in this form, it can be mapped to a drive letter.
I do have issues at that point that even with IE10 open and logged in to the site I see some random time-out like problems and I get kicked off (and prompted to log in again in IE10). My situation is complicated because the site I'm accessing requires an Exostar token to log in, so I have to log in via website no matter what.
If it helps any one do the steps suggested above:
Make sure to use 32 bit internet explorer (program files (x86)/internet explorer).
Like was mentioned above Web client must be started.
You may also need to add your site to trusted sites in internet explorer.
Make sure enabled protected mode in internet options is disabled.
This is what finally fixed it for me: Check "Keep me signed in" on the login page. This was the key for me. Will not work without it checked in my case.
I had the same symptoms, and it turned out I don't have a root site collection. Creating one solved this for me.
Summarized the troubleshooting steps here:
http://letitknow.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/your-client-does-not-support-opening-this-list-with-windows-explorer-error/
There can be multiple reasons for it.
One could be using IE x64 version. It won't work there.
Secondly, check out this blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/06/13/error-message-quot-your-client-does-not-support-opening-this-list-with-windows-explorer-quot-when-you-try-to-quot-open-with-explorer-quot-on-a-sharepoint-document-library-in-office-365-site.aspx
I experienced the same problem as well.
And I found out that if none of the above options are working, and if you work in an organisation, maybe the proxy is blocking the "Open with Explorer" option.
I did the same, and removed the proxy and it worked just fine.
this fixed it for me ( however in windows server 2008 you may need to install desktop experience i think its called)
After you log into windows go into services then restart the WebClient then see if you can use explorer view without the error " your client does not support. blah blah blah" if it does work then. make a batch file that says:
net stop webclient
net start webclient
then make a scheduled tasks that runs that batch file at start up. Have it run as a user with administrative rights, make sure you tell it to run even if user is not logged in. it should prompt you for the password of the admin account you selected. this worked for me with windows 7.
I found online where the error can occur intermittently with SharePoint 2010, however I think the SharePoint version is irrelevant. They said the client polls for a SharePoint root site and that the error occurs if one isn't found.
We have not seen the error since I created a root site even though we’re only using WSS3. Our errors began when we changed clients to Windows 7. So in our case it sounds like the issue could be the root site polling due to an IE8 security change in Windows 7.
SOLUTION:
*you on x64 bit machine* so solution is that there is no problem but you are using the wrong IE shortcut.
There are different IE types you can use (just type Internet Explorer in start search bar) and you will see..
Internet Explorer (64-bit) - won't show any sharepoint add-ons
Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) - won't show any sharepoint add-ons
Internet Explorer - only this will show sharepoint add-ons and will
work so basically make sure you always use this version of IE
I am trying automate Microsoft Dynamics CRM application using Selenium RC, I am unable to handle the modal(child browser) windows. Every time Selenium clicks to open modal window ( selenium.selectWindow("windowName")) I am getting the following error.
There was an unexpected Alert! [A Microsoft Dynamics CRM window was
unable to open, and may have been blocked by a pop-up blocker. Please
add this Microsoft Dynamics CRM server to the list of sites your
pop-up blocker allows to open new windows:
As per the research I tried to add the sever site to trusted sites and also added the site to popup blocker allow list but no gains.
Please direct to me right way of handling it
For some reason Microsoft Dynamics CRM thinks it cannot open the popup window, so it wants to show an alert indicating that. Selenium sees the alert and since it is not expected (you didn't call getAlert()), so the next selenium action (which is selecting the window if I understand correctly) fails.
Maybe you need to wait for the window to actually appear before selecting it?
Check what happens if you set a breakpoint just before the selectWindow() and step through it.
Also try the same steps manually. Do they work?
Remember that selenium uses its own default profile for browsers, so your popup blocker settings may not get through. Which browser is this?
What you can do is accept the popups in the Internet Security, and un-mark the Browse in Secure mode. Close your browser.
Then try it in FireFox and after that do it in Internet Explorer again.
