Kind of convoluted because it says that to enable or disable TSL 1.2, you must set the value to "0." To re-enable the protocol, change the DWORD value to 1.īy default, this entry does not exist in the registry." To disable the TLS 1.2 protocol, you must create the Enabled DWORD entry in the appropriate subkey, and then change the DWORD value to 0. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2 Note For TLS 1.2 to be enabled and negotiated, you must create the DisabledByDefault DWORD entry in the appropriate subkey (Client, Server), and then change the DWORD value to 0.īy default, this entry does not exist in the registry. Since I didn't want TSL 1.1, I'll quote the help for TSL 1.2. So, I went to the Microsoft help via the link provided. When I went to the IE settings, the TSL 1.1 and TSL 1.2 options weren't there. I did the installation of the 2008 file and the registry changes. This wasn't as straight forward as it seems. So with full credit to VistaLover, I will quote the instructions here: During that time, the thought occurred to me that if MSFN was indeed gone forever, VistaLover's instructions might also be lost - particularly the necessary registry edits. Update: If you did not install sha2 support in 2019, be advised that the last cumulative update with an sha1 signature was KB4507434.įor the second time in less than a year, MSFN was recently down for about a week. Note: VistaLover suggests installing all updates intended for Server 2008 since support for Vista ended before you begin - an idea that I don't necessarily endorse - but all that is really necessary for this purpose is to install the latest Server 2008 cumulative update for IE9 from Microsoft Update Catalog. Of course every browser nowadays supports at least TLS 1.1 and 1.2, if not 1.3 - but versions old enough to work on Vista are no longer receiving security updates, whereas Microsoft is still issuing cumulative updates for IE9 for the benefit of Server 2008 users. Before long, an MSFN member with screen name VistaLover posted instructions on Enabling TLS 1.1/1.2 support in Vista's Internet Explorer 9. Three months after Microsoft ended support for Vista, they issued an Update to add support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 in Windows Server 2008 SP2, the server version of Vista which is still under extended support until January 2020. Whether they improve these glitches or not, I'm moving to the main concourse of Mozilla.Browser support for Windows Vista is almost nonexistent now - or is it? If they wish to continue thumbing their noses at Microsoft, power users can turn IE9 into a veritable Stegosaurus: well-protected, but still a lumbering dinosaur. This is not to mention the fact that some buttons on websites simply do not work on IE9 - when this happened with random links it's frustrating, when it occurs with Paypal, my Bank's website and the like it's frankly unbearable. It's more than a little frustrating that the top of the page or article gets shown and as you scroll down it all gets fudged out. I don't understand why they would let any version, beta or not, be released whereby such universal websites as Amazon, Wikipedia and Googlemaps DON'T LOAD PROPERLY. I 'upgraded' from IE8 to IE9 around a week ago and I've now reach my limit - I'm abandoning ship too. So, out of the kindness of my heart I have stuck by IE when all else haven jumped ship to Mozilla. Silly to call the Microsoft money-making power house an underdog, but it seems to be a fallen giant, and always got the flak for everything that goes wrong. I have always stuck by Microsoft because I tend to favour the underdog. Watch out: the browser wars just got exciting again.īy Anonymous reviewed on November 13, 2010 In all, the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 is faster and prettier than its predecessors - and really throws down the gauntlet to its competitors. New features like hang recovery and InPrivate Filtering provide Internet Explorer a stabler and more secure web experience than most other browsers. IE 9 features decent support for HTML 5 (the new generation of media-rich websites use this language), and now finishes the Acid 3 test with a near-perfect 95/100. Internet Explorer 9 also offers improved speed and performance, as well as better compliance with web standards and new technologies. The new Performance Advisor add-on identifies add-ons that are slowing Internet Explorer down (a feature badly needed in Mozilla Firefox). IE 9 also lets you 'pin' websites to the Superbar and allows you to bookmark your favorite websites as 'applications' in your OS. Among the new features included in Internet Explorer 9 are better integration with the Windows operating system and a seriously beefed-up security system.
