VS Express 2013 for Web - Browser is security restricted or JavaScript is disabled

Question

I initially installed the Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on my desktop. My desktop runs Windows 8.1 with internet explorer 11. It ran fine until the license expire

Answer 1

As I can not add a comment yet to the answer of CBGraham, I've to add this note over here: The solution described from CBGraham worked for me (Thanks Graham). I had to add an additional link: https://account.live.com

Then I opened the IE and tried to login to a Microsoft site. I left the IE window open and just clicked once again on the VS to login. Then it worked for me. Even with strong restrictions on the IE settings. While I'm surprised why someone should set down his security settings, just to register VS.

Answer 2

I had exactly the same problem, here is what I did:

a) Go in IE, click on settings wheel then Internet Options and Security tab.

b) Click on Custom level button (make sure you select Internet zone).

c) In Security Settings window, under Scripting I set Enabled for Active scripting.

After that Sign In should work. Even though Chrome is default browser, it seems that VS uses IE for sign in process.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Click on Start --> Run --> type cmd and click on OK.

Command Prompt will be opened. Then enter this command.

ipconfig /flushdns 

and press Enter.

Now try to access https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com/Profile/View

It worked for me...
