Remote Desktop on internet explorer
Question:
I am running internet explorer version 11.0.9600.16384 on windows 8.1
I am trying to access a web-based remote desktop services connection and it no longer works. The error I get is:
"Browser Not Supported
This Web browser is not supported by RD Web Access. RD Web Access requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or later."
It gives me a link to download the latest version of internet explorer from the windows update web site but nothing there is compatible with Windows 8.1 other than what I have which obviously doesn't work for some reason. This connection worked fine yesterday before my computer prompted me to update to windows 8.1 which I did. What options do I have other than re-installing the OS?
Answer:
Since Internet Explorer 11 is a new release, there might not be a full support yet.
However, you may try to change the browser mode and check if it works.
1. Press [F12] on the Internet Explorer.You will see the developer tools.
2. Click on the Emulation (Crtl +8)[Browser Mode IE11].You are able to see all the previous version of Internet Explorer such as, IE 10, IE9, IE8 and IE7 in the User agent string.
3. Choose [Internet Explorer 10 or previous versions].
The screen will then reload.
