Open in explorer option is not working in IE 11 for document library

I am using IE 11 and trying to open a document library in Windows Explorer. But this button is disable in IE 11. This button is enable in IE 10. Can some please let me know any workaround?

  • AFAIK, Explorer view should work with IE 11 too...by the way, have you tried to configure IE 11 in IE 10 compatibility mode?

        Please try following below:

         

        1) Check if the value of the following Registry key is “1”:
         right-click or tap-and-hold the Start button and then choose Run, input “regedit” 
        and then press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
        2) Go to HKey_Local_Machine > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer >

        Main and switch the value to 1.
        3) Have you enable the ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer? You may refer to: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/genuine/ie-activex

        4). Reset your Internet Explorer via Internet Options > Advanced > Reset Internet Explorer settings

        If you still have issues go with Onedrive Sync option.
