Re: Compatibility View Settings In Google Chrome Windows 10
Vida Hubbert
Since millions of websites were made compatible with the older Internet Explorer, Microsoft also added a compatibility view in Edge. This article will help you enable this compatibility view mode.
Using the compatibility view mode is useful for different intranet portals. This is how it's done. Login to any old website or intranet portal. Open settings for Edge by clicking on the icon in the top right corner. You can also press the ALT+F keys to open the settings. This will open a navigation pane and on the right, you will see an option stating 'reload in internet explorer mode.' Clicking on this will refresh the web page and open the compatibility view mode for Edge. You will also see the internet explorer logo on the address bar next to the padlock icon. You will even get a dialog box that will ask if you want to keep the compatibility view mode on for 30 days. You can click that if you want.
To always enable the compatibility mode, you need to open the Edge settings. On the left side of the page, you will see the option for selecting the default browser. Click on it and go to the Internet explorer mode page. Click on the 'add' button and write the websites you want to open in the compatibility view mode. Click on add again to save this list.
Activating the compatibility view mode in Edge can be done in a few steps. Open the Edge browser and press ALT+F to open the settings. Click on the default browser option from the left and then click on internet explorer mode. From the dropdown menu that appears, select 'allow' and click on save. Restart Edge and this will activate the compatibility view mode.
Now that Microsoft has stopped support for internet explorer, it's time to give Microsoft Edge a chance. It is a decent browser with various features. Activate the compatibility view mode and you can use Edge as you used to use IE.
Compatibility View and Internet Explorer Mode are not the same. Compatibility View sets the IE version the site will load in, (IE 10, IE 9, etc.). Internet Explorer Mode merely opens the site in IE mode, but does not have a setting to change the Compatibility View.
My stakeholders are using Outlook Client. I have one user who is unable to double click a record from a view, or right click and select Open, and have the record launch. However, if he right clicks and selects "Open in New Window" it launches the record. His default browser is Chrome. We tried changing it to IE, and adding *.dynamics.com to compatibility view settings and trusted sites. All users have the same role. He is still not able to launch a record but just double clicking. It almost acts like Outlook has a pop-up blocker.
The issue is user specific or machine specific we need to determined it. I would request you to get this user configure on another machine and check if the user faces the same issue. Also please make IE as default browser for the user machine.
Yep. This is only happening for one user. I just followed up with him. He was able to attempt this, also adding a few variations of this URL, and is still unable to launch a record without selecting "Open in New Window".
We regularly monitor and test browsers to ensure the highest quality standards. We may discontinue support of existing browsers if they no longer meet W3C standards or are no longer supported by their development company.
Internet Explorer has compatibility view, a feature that affects how some websites are displayed. To make sure aa.com works properly, remove aa.com from your list of sites that have compatibility view enabled.
Choose aa.com under "Websites you've added to compatibility view." If you don't see "aa.com" listed, or if these steps don't help you resolve the problem, make sure your computer has the latest Windows updates.
If your Windows computer is administered by your organization, you may not be able to access compatibility view settings or remove aa.com from the list of affected domains. Please contact your administrator or help desk as they may have used a Windows group policy setting to set this parameter for you.
I have windows 10 and acrobat reader DC. Acrobat will not open, just spins and then stops. PDFs will not open unless I open through email. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I have tried trouble shooting. not sure what else to do. I have read other threads that suggest opening Acrobat and changing settings but I cannot even open to get to settings.
We're sorry for the trouble you had with Adobe Reader, please reboot the machine once and use Acrobat cleaner tool to remove any corrupt and conflicting installation files Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
Hi Anan Sri, I did what you mentioned but it still does not open. I have Uninstalled, reinstalled multiple times, applied compatibility, watched multiple tutorials but it is not opening. I have to use pdf for my office work, please help me fix this problem.
The same problem. As can be seen in Task Manager, the program has started up, but not the graphical interface, nothing is displayed on the the screen. Compatibilty setting (Windows 8 ) solved the problem.
Link for Cleaner tool do not work & could not find it. Second time in 1 month that Adobe will not open. Compatibility is set for Windows 8. Will not change - Do No Open with Protected Mode Disabled is marked. When try to change it pops up -"Adobe Acrobat cannot Open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration." I have already uninstalled & reinstalled this program. Please advise.
hi. i read your response. I have windows 10 and my PD f's are being saved to Microsoft edge. I decided to purchase adobe acrobat user guide because the Adobe Reader I had would only allow me to read and I wanted to be able to edit my pages for move the pages around in my document. However I did everything that you told me but it won't show me a compatibility under the same category that you mentioned it doesn't have compatibility under properties so I'm wondering what to do from there
Hi, I have the same issue. I have Adobe CS. All programs work, apart from Acrobat. Very annoying. Tried all above, and lots more (de-install / install 2, 3 times) hoping for fixes. Adobe must know of this issue. Where's the fix?
was having same problem, did everything that was suggested, cleaner, re-install etc... still had same issue. sigh... was getting really frustrated been trying to find a solution since we updated to windows 10. anyways for the heck of it, i clicked on "run compatibility troubleshooter" (from the properties of Adobe icon) then "try recommended setting", now i have done this before, but it always suggested i try compatibility with windows 7, this time it suggested windows 8..... and Hallelujah, it works!!
I have the same issue - since last week. I can only open Acrobat DC as administrator, ok I can't even open it via this method anymore... and all of the above fixes didn't solve the problem. I have un- and re-installed the program through Creative Cloud, and now when I click on a pdf-file from inside filemanager, it says it cannot find the file!
It started as failure to open PDFs; I uninstalled and reinstalled AR DC, still PDFs on emails in MS Outlook would not open. Then I tried to open PDFs in Documents folders - got a message "Windows cannot find [file name clicked on]. Make sure you typed the name correctly then try again". I got the Adobe Cleaner which cleaned up and uninstalled AR DC; reinstalled it again from Adobe website. Still cannot open any PDF anywhere with AR DC. But can open PDFs perfectly OK with Avast Browser and Google Chrome. Then found I cannot even open AR DC as a free standing program by clicking in program list, and right clicking does not offer an 'open' option. So completely stuck! Help please.
I'm hoping this post will add tot the noise and hopefully get attention drawn this way sooner. Have tried every fix mentioned in this thread. Have even messed with my registry, which I rarely do, based on other threads for simillar problems. I have regular desktop Acrobat DC installation so I can use it when I have no connectivity, which is often. This is a crippling problem that just started two days ago for me. Probably based on a windows update.
OK, I have been struggling with this same issue for weeks and, at least for me, have come upon a solution. Find the Acrobat DC icon on your desktop or from within the directory where the program is located. Right-click and choose "Properties". Click "Compatability" and check the box to enable it to run in compatibility mode for Windows 8. Click "OK" and then try to open Acrobat DC. It should open right up....at least it did for me. Hope this helps cuz Adobe damned-sure ain't doing nothin' to address this problem!
I, too, have just started to have this problem (started around June 8, 2020): when trying to open any .pdf file, I get the error message, "Windows cannot find [file @ location]. Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again." Am using Windows 10. Have used Adobe Acrobat and Cleaner Tool, reinstalled from provided download, ran as administrator, etc. I too, am keeping Acrobat Reader as a stand-alone from the Creative Cloud, because my Internet is very spotty (thanks, AT&T!). But still does not work! Please fix this or put some fire under Microsoft's ass to get it to work.
