How to RESTORE Internet Explorer 11 settings, not reset

Funjunkie6 · 12 Sep 2017

hello community,

I use Internet Explorer 11 to access my employer's intranet site to upload information and docs. when I logged in, all the 'Explanations' were hidden and I had to click on 'See Explanations' to reveal them - see image 'Capture 1'.

Windows 10 performed an update this week and now those 'Explanations' are visible seemingly by default - see image 'Capture 2'. This has resulted in a long scroll down the page.

is anyone able to explain how to RESTORE IE11 settings to the way they were before the recent Windows update - noting that Resetting them does not return the screen presence the way they were (EG Capture1)?

moving forward, is there a way I can save IE settings in case this happens again?

thanks a lot for your help.

PS: Edge and Chrome have always defaulted to Capture2 style, which is why I have chosen to use IE11 for work use.

Those explanations are made visible by the scripts written by your employer's IT staff / contractors.

IE is merely the background against which those scripts are running.
IE is not controlling any of it so there is no IE setting to change any of it.

To change the new behaviour you will have to contact your employer's IT staff / contractors and get them to amend the scripts to be compatible with the latest Windows version.
