You cannot open Java Applets  nor any other NPAPI plugin  in Microsoft Edge - they aren t supported and won t be added in the future   Further you should be aware that in the next release of Google Chrome  v45 - due September 2015  NPAPI plugins will also no longer be supported   Work-arounds  There are a couple of things that you can do   Use Internet Explorer 11 You will find that in Windows 10 you will already have Internet Explorer 11 installed  IE 11 continues to support NPAPI  incl Java Applets    IE11 is squirrelled away  c  program files internet explorer iexplore exe   Just pin this exe to your task bar for easy access   Use FireFox You can also install and use a Firefox 32-bit Extended Support Release in Win10  Firefox have disabled NPAPI by default  but this can be overridden  This will only be supported until early 2018

As other folks have mentioned  Java  ActiveX  Silverlight  Browser Helper Objects  BHOs  and other plugins are not supported in Microsoft Edge  Most modern browsers are moving away from plugins and toward standard HTML5 controls and technologies    If you must continue to use the Java plugin in a corporate web app  consider adding the site to an Enterprise Mode site list  This will automatically prompt the user to open in IE
