(Note that the Automatically activate newly installed add-ons setting under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer would turn on any add-on that came along without prompting, and so it does not fit what I want as described above.) I want the user to retain the ability to disable the add-ons for troubleshooting purposes if needed, though, and if the user has been granted privileges to install software, I want him/her to be prompted for any add-ons he/she installs that I don't know about.Īccording to Microsoft's documentation, this is possible through a Group Policy setting. Since I am the one installing the add-ons, and since I manage the machines, I want these add-ons to be enabled by default, and I do not want the user to be prompted. The default behavior of Internet Explorer is to prompt the user to enable add-ons the first time he/she runs Internet Explorer after the add-on has been installed. Several software packages that I install on these machines have associated add-ons for Internet Explorer. I manage a number of computers running Windows 8.1. The issue I describe here is the same as that in Group Policy Internet Explorer, Add-on list not working, but I provide more detail and troubleshooting steps, so I thought it was worth re-asking.
