download chrome for ie 11 in windows 8.1

Microsoft Corporation Windows 8.1 Enterprise star 4.2.you need to go digging for the 32 bit version and basic users won't know that) If i pin the x86 exe, it works correctly, but by default in windows 8.1 圆4 the version if IE in the start screen is the 64 bit version not the 32 bit version. (quick edit: it appears that the issue is with pinning the 圆4 version of IE. I am on the eve of a large(ish) surface pro tablet deployment and I need to make sure that my users won't experience this same randomness.Īny thoughts as to why this may be occurring would be super appreciated. I know some of you are thinking that I should just accept it because IE is a bad browser and i would normally agree, but my user's need to be able to launch IE for two specific and crucial web applications that are sadly written using ActiveX and no alternate options exist. To be 100% clear, i am not talking about pinning specific websites or shortcuts to websites, I am talking about shortcuts and pins to the actual executable for Internet explorer.

When I launched it from its fresh pin on the start screen, chrome opened. When I double-clicked the executable IE launched just fine, I then right-clicked it and pinned it to the start screen directly. Like a good troubleshooter I then went to the source, and navigated to iexplore.exe thinking that maybe it somehow got messed up. I examined the properties of all these shortcuts (at least the ones i can) and they all pointed to iexplore.exe like they should. I then launched my Classic Shell start menu where I have IE pinned as well. I tried launching IE from the all apps screen in the start screen with the same result. I noticed today when I tried to open IE from a pin on my start screen it opened chrome instead. I use Chrome as my default browser but i have firefox installed too and of course IE is hanging around because its windows and sometimes you still need to use IE. I am running Windows 8.1 update 1 enterprise.
