Windows 10...IE 11...32-bit?
where would I find that on Win 10?
I was reading stuff where >=IE 10 frame/manager process uses 64-bit, but desktop tabs use 32-bit. I have a creepy feeling I need the former to run at 32-bit as well for this app.
Because I had to create that separate IE 32 bit shortcut in Win 7.
Or
type in the search "winver" and press Enter
Yes I think that article is correct, that's also what I'm seeing on Task manager.
Hey, mindst
ok, I've been rereading all the links you have provided and our discussion. There are two settings...I think I was getting confused between the two...
Security tab - Enable Protected Mode
Advanced Tab - Enable Enhanced Protected Mode
So it's Advanced Tab - Enable Enhanced Protected Mode needs to be unchecked, That's a switch for 64-bitness. This is unchecked by default.
What about Security tab - Enable Protected Mode? That is checked by default. Does this need to be unchecked? Maybe nothing has to be done to enable 32-bit and ActiveX, after-all.
It's simply ensuring Advanced Tab - Enable Enhanced Protected Mode is unchecked?
mindst thank you so much. That is reassuring beyond belief.
Is your company Win 10? My question is what exactly is the default bit state of IE 11?
Out of the box, it has Enable Protected Mode checked and the awesome documentation behind the link indicates 32 bit is the default. Yet to have it run 64-bit, stuff needs checked and to run 32-bit, the procedure is to uncheck Enable Protected Mode.
It's like the default is some middle ground which is 32-bit and has Enable Protected Mode checked? And this can't run 32-bit ActiveX (presumably when enabled in zone security tab)?
I guess I'm trying to figure out what exactly is out of the box between the two bit states, it seems to be a hybrid. Thanks so much again. I hate not being able to mess wiht this directly but as a skeptic, anticipating the chaos. 🙂 and praying.
Hi TomGriffith3

There are no longer options to setup separate shortcust for 64 abd 32bit IE. You only need to clear "Enable Enchanced protected mode" setting to use IE in 32bit. We do that in our company and we are using 32bit activex controls. So I'm confident that it is 32bit IE :). The same applies to IE Mode in Edge on 64bit systems.
I really appreciate your help, it provided a wealth of insight. I'm basically flying blind right now, my Win 10 can't access the apps intranet, while my Win 7 32 bit is how I've worked there.
I'm asking somebody who works with the apps with Win 7 64 bit, IE 11 32-bit to provide a screenshot of her Task Manager. Maybe I can see if IE 11 is running in this little of 64, a lot of 32 manner "successfully" for her.
- 1903 is good, there is also 1909 that few months ago released.
anyway, unfortunately I don't have much information about that particular aspect of IE in Windows 10, hope others can help you further with your issue 🙂 But it's still IE 11, and that junk about how it runs seems IE specific. That's the constant between Windows 7 and Windows 10. So would the OS change how IE runs in 32/64 mode?

I wish I knew if that "Frame/Manager Process" running in 64 bit has any effect on processing page content. This app has ActiveX, among other things.
