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 cert

Answer 1

I was having same issue. Now it's solved. If someone is still having same kind of issue can give a try:

1. Upgrade Java to latest version (and uninstall all previous version of java)
2. Add the url to the Exception site list in your Java Control Panel Follow Instruction Here

Answer 2

Today, I stuck with this error, and went through all the answers but nothing worked out for me.

For me the issue was **Java version**.

Initially, I installed Java 8 Update 251 x64 which actually was the reason of my issue applet not working issue with Internet Explorer version 11.

Solution

Uninstalled Java 8 Update 251 x64

Installed Java 8 Update 251 x86

issue resolved.

Answer 3

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:

1. Reinstall java. No reboot required, but close browsers beforehand. Also, it's not required to uninstall it before running installer (I didn't).
2. 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.
3. 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.

Answer 4

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:

1. Try and install latest Java => Error was produced 'The installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection setting'

2. Hit 'Retry', and the installer started working

3. Java 8 update 40 was installed successfully, however Java still doesn't work in IE (after closing IE / reboot)

4. Removed older/outdated versions (either using the Oracle-Java tool or through Install/Uninstall programs).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.

5. 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)

6. 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)

7. 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)."

Answer 5

In the Java Control Panel, under the Security tab, uncheck "Enable Java content in the browser" and Apply it. Then re-check it and apply again. This worked for me, and I had been struggling with this issue for days.

Answer 6

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.
