AdBlock doesn't work with IE11 in W10 LTSB 2016

Post by KonstaNSK »

Adblock Plus latest version doesn't work with IE11 in W10 LTSB 2016, some sites make unavailable IE11. In 2015 the same version works good. When you will fix it?

- provide first useful details
- "does not work" means nothing
- read forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=43021

I mean W10 LTSB 2016, your advises are about 11.12 2015. In 2016 we have a new version IE - 11.576.14393.0. and a lot of problem...

Here are some useful questions:
  • Do you see the ABP icon in your taskbar?
  • If so, can you open the ABP menu?
  • If not, does the ABP BHO show up as enabled in the list of IE Add-Ons?
  • In any case, do you see ads being blocked?
  • Also, whether ads are blocked or not, do pages break?
  • Does IE itself fail to load pages, or crash regularly, with ABP installed?
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

For all your questions the answer is - "yes". The main problem - IE itself fail to load pages, or crash regularly, with ABP on in IE addons. If "off" - OK(with ads(((. )
About: "Also, whether ads are blocked or not, do pages break?", - it blocks always, very good program.

Love the product but with each update settings are lost -
List of sites to permit ads is empty
Can not get option to uncheck Allow some non-intrusive advertising to work
After entries are made on the Settings Page there is no place to click to make the entries permanent the only recourse is to close the page.
In the past the only way to make the setting permanent was to uninstall and reinstall.
Help Please
Many Thanks

I am not certain if my experience might help you but...

I have been having multiple issues with ABP 1.5 or 1.6 under Windows 10 and specifically made worse post Windows Update pushes whereas all my IE setting are gone. I suspect it has to do with IE's "Protected Mode"

You may wish to try disabling this feature to see if it helps. I am not a guru so I'm not sure what the exact risks might be in your environment but if you use a solid antivirus, you are likely safe.

Should you have found that this helps, I would even venture as far as saying that you might/should run the following using an elevated command prompt (Administrator)

"dism /online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth"

in case you experienced updating issues with the last update if ABP was installed.

Many Thanks dsmacdo for the suggestion.

Since I'm not familiar with the DISM command I did a little reading.
http://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-d ... s-10-image

I didn't want to dig the hole I'm in any deeper. I can not uninstall ABP 1.6 (missing folder and .msi) and ABP will not let me do a reinstall. (see - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=50350)

I decided to run DISM with the ScanHealth switch and it completed with "No component store corruption detected"

When I have some "down time" I'll play with IE's "Protected Mode"

UPDATE:

I have managed to track down the issue in my case (or so I believe) as I finally have a stable IE11 in protected mode and Ad Block Plus for IE running. I believe that during a W10 update that the ACL to a couple of folders became corrupt.


This is how I corrected the issue on my system:

Uninstall ABP.
run the following commands within the user's context

icacls %userprofile%\appdata\locallow /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)L
icacls %userprofile%\appdata\locallow\microsoft /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)L
icacls "%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\microsoft\Internet Explorer" /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)L

Reboot & once completed on all the user's accounts, re-install ABP.

While this appears to have been enough, I also opted to go the extra mile prior to reinstalling ABP

(Within an administrative command window)

I ran

chckdsk /f c:
sfc scannnow
and finally,
dism /online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth
Rebooted

Should there be any lingering issues, a reset of Internet Explorer might be required.

Please note that I am not an expert but my issue is certainly resolved by having done these steps and hope that it can help others.
