Tip: disabling Enterprise mode in IE 11
Oct 23, 2018
Hi everyone,
I solved a problem yesterday which was kind of an eye-opener for me.
Mind you: this solution involves operating system Windows 7 (Professional or Enterprise version) and IE11.
If Storyline lessons (in my case: HTML5 published ones) are not showing in IE 11, try this: disable the 'Enterprise' mode in the browser.
(IE menu bar -> 'Tools' -> Enterprise Mode)
Enterprise mode apparently tricks IE 11, thinking it's IE 8.
And...IE 8 does not support HTML5 (sufficiently).
More information about the Enterprise mode: https://bit.ly/2NZGhNM
Hope this can help someone out there!
Regards,
Marcel

My goodness Marcel, thanks for sharing that finding.
Trapped in IE8 is really going back in time!
Someone else had a similar problem with Enterprise mode in Windows 10. Anything that forces the browser to emulate a much older version, seems to cause problems. This is a good place to use a couse loaded into the LMS that does nothing but report the browser version that is being detected. Good for troubleshooting.
