Whatever Microsoft did during their last update to disable MSIE now prevents them from working, even if you disable the MSIE ⇒ Edge redirection they put in place, so now you have to manually enter an address to get it to open in MSIE. I created a shortcut to the vbscript that I use to start MSIE and, so far, it still works. Note: AutoIt has other options for controlling the Window size and position but my preference is to have it maximized. The oAutoIt commands in the script bring the MSIE11 window to the front, maximize it, and set the focus (i.e. OAutoIt.WinSetState "Internet Explorer", "", oAutoIt.SW_MAXIMIZE ![]() ' Set AutoIt windows title match option to "EXACT" Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")ĬreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ![]() ' Enable Object Commands for VBscript & AutoIt You can solve items 1 – 4 by using a combination of the following vbscript & AutoIt to open Internet Explorer. It seems to be a 50/50 chance of it occurring during update attempts and I’m not sure exactly what causes it (like a lot of MS error messages, the description of the problem doesn’t really help), but simply closing Edge and then restarting the manual update always works. Note: on my PC Edge sometimes throws an error when it reaches the 66% complete mark during the update process. To “manually” update Edge, I open Edge > Settings > About Microsoft Edge and it initiates a update check and installs the “latest update” if one’s available. These settings prevent Edge from auto-starting and auto-updating on my Windows 10 PC. Allow Microsoft Edge to start and load the Start and New Tab page at Windows startup and each time Microsoft Edge is closed – Enabled and set to Prevent tab pre-loading.Allow Microsoft Edge to per-launch at Windows startup, when the system is idle, and each time Microsoft Edge is closed – Enabled and set to Prevent per-launching.Under Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge set the following options: Update policy override – Enabled and set to Manual updates only.Prevent Desktop Shortcut creation upon install – Disabled.Under Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge Update > Applications > Edge set the following options: I also have the following settings in Group Policy but am not sure if they really matter or not as setting the equivalent Google services to the same settings as above also prevents Google from auto-updating while still allowing it to be manually updated. Note: if you disable all 3 services, you won’t be able to “manually” update Edge. Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdatem) – Manual (Trigger Start).Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate) – Disabled.Microsoft Edge Elevation Service (MicrosoftEdgeElevationService) – Manual.Open Services and set the following options: Note: if you delete them, they’ll get recreated the next time Edge gets updated but, if they’re disabled, they’ll stay disabled. ![]() Open Task Scheduler and Disable both of the Microsoft Edge Update tasks. Ok, here’s my settings to disable Edge auto-update while still allowing me to “manually” update it when I want to.
