I bring this up as I purchased a new PC with Windows 11 and installed Civil 3D 2022 on it. I also have a laptop that I upgraded and regardless of this. We've known for well over 1 year now that this was coming from Windows. So they do NOT install Internet Explorer when you upgrade or get a new Windows 11 box. There are features within Civil 3D 2022 such as Volumes Dashboard that use Internet Explorer to read the XML that is created when you select to create a Cut/Fill report. There are also Toolbox features that do a similar process, run the Executable and Civil 3D access Internet explorer to read the XML file. Now we've been told for at least 5 years that IE (Internet Explorer) is going away and well Windows finally did this. So how do I fix this in Civil 3D? Is there a way to force Civil 3D to use Edge or Chrome instead? If so I'd love to know this fix. If now when are we getting a service pack to address this very long outstanding issue which should've been addressed back in 2018 when we were informed that IE would be retired.
I agree with @Anonymous statement, but considering they are probably testing and usually realease a update at this time of year it should be soon that you'll get an answer directly from them. I don't have any intrinsic knowledge, just going from past release schedules and such.

Nor sure if this works as I don't have Windows 11 yet (wasn't windows 10 the FINAL version, never to be replaced only upgraded?). Can you install Internet Explorer under windows 11? Or possibly just copy? I know I still use the Windows 7 calculator under window 10 and in the past used older discontinued/obsolete applet/programs in newer versions of windows.
We have had to change main browsers because of the constant crashing. On first opening it crashes on my own machine everytime. I have checked the LoadAppInit_DLLS in the registry and both are 0 (following on from another thread I read here).
For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit OS, hmpalert.dll will be injected from C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
For a 64-bit process on a 64-bit OS, hmpalert.dll will be injected from C:\windows\system32\
If you're not sure of the bitness of the crashing IE, process, if you rename both to say hmpalert.dll.ren and then start IE, does it crash?
With the DLL renamed, the HMPA driver will not inject the DLL into the process.
Beyond that, it could be a conflict with another 3rd party module loaded into IE. Process Explorer is a very useful tool to see the list of modules loaded into a process. -us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer I would remove the modules one at a time to see if there is a combination where the issues goes away.
Regards,
The disk being at 100% is an issue we have on all three of the laptops I am testing on, and this remained after the removal of Sophos. Due to the timing of when we started to install Sophos I couldn't be sure what Sophos was repsonsible for.
Sophos definitely seems to slow the login and has affected Internet Explorer but I beleive that something else is causing overal slowness of the machines and the 100% disk usage. This would correlate with the issues starting in January and I also wondered if it was part of the measures put in place to protect the Intel Processors etc which are in the news because of them being a security risk...
Can you maybe narrow it down to a specific mitigation? I guess it could be a combination but one at a time would be a start. I would suggest closing and reopening the browser between each test and you will have to restart the HMPA service for it to pick up the change.
I have a problem with Adobe Reader on Internet Explorer (latest version). When i open a PDF file, it works perfectly, but when i try to open a 2nd one, it crashes I.E. Sometimes it crashes when opening a 3rd or 4th PDF file. After that, i can start I.E. again and open PDF files, but the problem persist. What i tried:
Maybe change the default web browser integration from internet explorer in acrobat to one of those browsers. I think the problem is with the Adobe Reader PDF Internet plug-in. You can check if this is the problem by removing it from the toolbar and extensions (if you're on MS Windows).
