DTBI1110-IE11 - Enabling outdated ActiveX controls for Internet Explorer must be blocked.

Information

This feature keeps ActiveX controls up to date and helps make them safer to use in Internet Explorer. Many ActiveX controls are not automatically updated as new versions are released. It is very important to keep ActiveX controls up to date because malicious or compromised webpages can target security flaws in out-of-date ActiveX controls.

Solution

In the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Internet Explorer >> Security Features >> Add-on Management, set 'Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for Internet Explorer' to 'Disabled'.
