Can not run Java Applets in Internet Explorer 11 using JRE 7u51

Question

Today I updated my Java version to 7u51  After the installation  I cleared Java Cache  browser s Cache  and logged into a secure website that uses an Applet to provide certain additional services to the user   The applet is not working anymore  I accessed http   www java com to check the Java version detected in Internet Explorer  and the java website says   We are unable to verify if Java is currently installed and enabled in your browser      Other browsers can check Java  and the mentioned applet works as expected     As the applet works as expected in other browsers  I can assume the problem is not the Applet nor its deployment files processes  but the compatibility of JRE 7u51 with IE 11  I would like to know if there is any workaround for this   As additional measure  I used the java com tool to uninstall any previous and unsecure JRE version  using Google Chrome   After double checking IE 11  I can see the Java Addons enabled and versioned to 7u51     I know IE has been improved  even so  we recommend to our customers to use Google Chrome or Firefox as these browsers have proven to be more compatible with our web applications  Unfortunatelly  we can not force our customers to use certain browser due to the common organizational restrictions about programs usage  etc   Thanks in advance for any help     Update  01 20 2014    The following screenshot shows Internet Explorer 11 with Compatibility View configured for  java com   It doesn t fix the problem in this case

Go to Control panel   Double click on Java   Go to Security tab  Change security from high to medium     Your applets will run    If they are still not running then you have to add that website name in exception site list of Security tab of Java in Control panel

We see the same problem with Java 7u51  IE11 and Windows 8 1   As detailed at http   answers microsoft com en-us ie forum ie11-iewindows8 1 windows-81-ie11-java-7u51-combination-doesnt-work 24af818d-7196-4dd5-96f5-9c0c65223744 and http   mail openjdk java net pipermail security-dev 2014-January 010048 html and in a bug report submitted to Oracle on 17 January 2014 we find that all is OK until you agree to Java making changes to your system after installation   Once you allow the post-installation permission  Java is disabled   Other than constantly fighting off permission requests  the only workarounds we ve found are to use a different environment  browser  use Firefox or Chrome   OS  use Windows 7  or Java version  use a Java 8 build

Its not about security settings    its the UserAgent in IE11   in IE11 its Trident while all previous versions of  MS IE were MSIE   so I suppose that Java deployment tool cannot recognize new baby of MS    and send you back to install Java      I already ask if there is any temporarily solution till Oracle guys make new release   JavaFx web not working with Internet Explorer 11 with JRE7  update   btw applet is working at least on the oracle test java page   http   www java com en download installed jsp I just uninstall all JAVA from PC then reinstall latest version and disable then enable  Java tm  Plug-In 2 SSV Helper and Java tm  Plug-In SSV Helper     manage add-ons  before testing java on web  and it works     so I think its JavaFX not applet     since JavafX is using dtjava js while webstart applet  using deployJava js

Update deployJava js   Our site uses a local copy of deployJava js  updating it to the latest copy has fixed this issue in IE11   We will probably just start using the web version of deployJava js instead of a local copy    However  a  very  similar problem persists for our Safari users

Try this  It worked for me   Go to RUN and type gpedit msc then completely disable Onedrive  Have you noticed that the problem only existed after the last large download from Microsoft  It contained this package  I also removed it from the Start menu   This appears to be the cause of the issue  Something to do with downloading temporary files  which of course an applet is   Once done everything went back to normal

I know Mickey S  solved his issue with Java 8  but Pavel S  was on to something   If you re working locally with an applet  setting your Intranet Zone to Low security and then setting Java security in Control Panel -  Java -  Security setting to Medium from High does solve the problem of running local applets with Java 7u51  and u55  on Win 7 with IE 11      Specifically  I have a little test tool for barcode generation from IDAutomation that is crafted as an applet which wouldn t work on the above config  until I performed the listed steps

I ve just resolved the problem on two PCs  Win 8 64-bit with IE10  Win 8 1 32-bit with IE11   With Java 7 Update 67 both cases  same with update 65 and  probably  others    In my case  it was caused by java ssv  which first requested admin rights  then Java stopped working because it messed something using them   So  my resolution was    Reinstall java  No reboot required  but close browsers beforehand  Also  it s not required to uninstall it before running installer  I didn t   On 1st  or 2nd  launch of IE  privilege elevation will be prompted for Java SSV  If denied  it will pop up again  Multiple times  Important here is to deny them all  To stop these prompts  disable Java SSV helpers  both of them  in Add-Ons or when IE prompts about startup times     After that  http   www java com verify  prompts to run Java  twice  1st time IE  2nd time Java itself  and  when allowed  says everything is OK    will give more screenshots if anyone will ask

For Windows 8 1 Users     there is a little note on the java download site which says    Downloading and installing Java will only work in Desktop mode on Windows 8 and Windows 8 1  See the Java on Windows 8 FAQ for more detailed information    Unfortunately   Desktop mode  is not the default mode in Windows 8 1  After installing java and wasting 2hours trying to get java working with IE11  I went back to oracles site   paid a bit more attention to that warning   switched to Desktop mode  and reinstalled java    hey presto it worked   Furious  that java download does not work with the default config of Windows 8 1  don t know who to be more angry with  Oracle or Microsoft    or me for skimming over the warning

This type of issue is cropping up again using the Windows 8   IE 11 combination with the new version of Java  1 8 0 31    The installation seems to work  but after installing Java via the Java Control Panel Update tab  every time you run a Java applet you are told your version of Java is outdated  but when you follow the prompts to again update  you are told your version of Java is newer than the one on the web     As with a previous iteration of such problems  what worked for me was  after installation  unchecking  Internet Options   Security   Enable Protected Mode   running a Java applet and then re-checking it and everything is fine   Do people at Oracle not test on Windows 8 with IE or does this only happen for people with particular extensions enabled   As before  this problem didn t happen on Windows 7  but there I noticed that the SSLv3 changes now prevent you from running a local applet in Internet Explorer unless you remove that line from the java security file   But this problem doesn t happen on Windows 8  so it is not clear what is actually happening   If Oracle doesn t make the update process less rocky  people won t update   I ve seen many people lately using 2009 versions of JRE 1 6   That is the sort of situation that often doesn t end well

If you are running Windows 7 64-bit  I would strongly suggest you download the 64-bit Java installer  There is no sense in downloading the x86 installer on an x64 based OS   That corrected the problem for me

I ran into a similar issue that impacted all my browsers   After completely uninstalling all my JREs and JDKs then startig from scratch  I ran into the same issue   I m running Win 7 pro 64 bit   I detailed out the solution here  Why does Java 7 fail to Verify after successful JRE installation - Java 7 not running my any browser   but basically I added this  -Djava net preferIPv4Stack true  to my vm args  set in the Java Control Panel  under Java tab   View  and that solved the issues I was facing    seems like a hack but I guess the latest JRE does not handle IPv6 type requests properly

Also experienced issues with Java the last 2 weeks no longer working in IE 11 under Windows 7 x64   reverted to Chrome where it DID work   I had to go through  ALL  the following steps in order to restore Java operation    Try and install latest Java    Error was produced  The installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection setting  Hit  Retry   and the installer started working Java 8 update 40 was installed successfully  however Java still doesn t work in IE  after closing IE   reboot  Removed older outdated versions  either using the Oracle-Java tool or through Install Uninstall programs   In my case  I was able to remove old version 7 update 71  After another attempt to close IE completely and restarting Windows did not resolve the issue  as before  testing Java operation using the Oracle-Java online tool failed to work and even failed to produce the  grey box  that is always shown  in spite of the fact that the Java-plugins are loaded and activated  Finally restored IE settings through  Internet options -  Advanced -  Reset   Note  I tried that before 1 week earlier  but then this DID NOT yield a solution either  Eureka  it works again     Result is now as follows using the Oracle-Java online test tool  and any Java-applets now work again in IE11   Gefeliciteerd  U beschikt over de juiste Java-versie   Version 8 Update 40

Not exactly the same problem for me  because I was running the last java version 1 8 0 92  IE v11 and windows 7   My situation was also that I had Chrome as the default browser   So what for me fixed it  was to set IExplorer as the default browser again  uninstall Java  go to Java com using the IExplorer  and from the IExplorer download and install Java again to the last version

Finally resolved my java install issue on Win 7 64-bit running IE11   Even though I installed the latest Java  65  via a java auto-update prompt  tried a verify java version and java failed to run  shut down all IE instances  failed to run verify again  shut down all running programs  failed to run verify again  rebooted  failed to run verify again  re-installed 65 again  shutting down the browser manually as it downloaded   and finally verify ran  What a pain    The message I kept receiving was  The page you are viewing uses Java       e g  https   www java com en download help ie tips xml  I do use sleep mode on my desktop and I believe that this is probably the major issue with install and IE with its  clever  integration into the OS and explorer desktop  I thought the government told them to not do that  I ve had issues with CD-ROM drive disappearing and other unexplained periodic issues  all cured after a full reboot  They are infrequent  so I live with them for the convenience of faster startup times   Hope this helps someone
