Windows 11 / internet explorer

[Dieselboy]

I updated my home gaming PC last month. Nothing really broke. It's faster than win10 and switching between full screen game and desktop is now instant. Compared with win10 where it shows a black screen for what feels like eternity when switching.

The only problem I have is lack of internet explorer. My grandmas house back in UK has cameras fitted on the outside and I'd like to keep a check on her as she lives alone and has hallucinations due to cataracts that were left too long. She had a fall the other week.

The cameras recording box I think is chinese and needs a browser plugin to show the video feed. This only works with IE.

Does anyone know of any possible options/solutions for me to view the cameras with win11? I havent upgraded my mums PC yet because of this.

Does Edge not have a compatibility mode?

[Dieselboy]

yes but I was not able to install that plugin. I think it's an active-X plugin, but not really sure. I just know when I visit the NVR from IE it says "need to install this plugin, mate" and then I install it and enable it for the site and the video feeds load.

I might be able to install it in compatibility mode, and I just dont know how.

[deanwebb]

Yeah, I tried to see where compatibility mode is on my Edge browser, and I don't see it anywhere.

[Dieselboy]

You have to enable it first, bit annoying.

I had another go at this, managed to install the active X plugin and reloaded Edge and I can see the video feed
