#WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE COMPATIBILITY VIEW ON THE COMPUTER INSTALL#
Again, the Install updates check box is in the first run dialog or in the Compatibility View Settings dialog box.Įnterprise customers who run Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and other management software can control the download and installation of these packages. In either scenario, the updates are only made available when the "Install updates" feature is enabled. Users who cleared the Install updates check box during Internet Explorer setup receive the Microsoft list only through Windows Update. The update package is classified as "Recommended" on Windows Vista and "Low Priority" on Windows XP. After the installation, Internet Explorer clients receive updates to the list, based on the Windows Update settings on the client. In Internet Explorer 8, this feature downloads and installs both the security updates and the Microsoft compatibility list update. This schedule for download makes sure that Internet Explorer has the latest and greatest bits on first run. By default, a check box is preselected, and this selection controls the schedule for the download of updates. New client installations receive the list during Internet Explorer setup. Our goal is to provide predictability by following a regular, known update release schedule. Typically, the list is updated every two months. The list package is separate from the security updates, but the release of the list package update has the same schedule.

List updates are available as Windows Update packages, exactly like Internet Explorer security updates. The Compatibility View Settings dialog box reflects the user's choice, and the user can turn on or turn off updates to the list at any time. By default, during the first run experience, neither the Express option nor the Custom option is selected, and the user must select one of these options. Users can make a selection about the list during the first run experience of Internet Explorer and also in the Compatibility View Settings dialog box. If a domain notifies Microsoft that it is opting out, we remove the site from the list at the next scheduled list update.

We also tell the site administrators that, in the meantime, we are adding their site to this Compatibility View list, and we provide instructions on how the site can opt out. We reach out to those sites on the list to make sure that the site administrators know the experience that their Internet Explorer 8 visitors have by default and that the site administrators know what steps the sites can take to improve the experience. We will regularly reassess whether to offer this list to users at all. Whether the users chose Compatibility View while they are visiting that siteįor more information, see the Internet Explorer 8 Privacy Policy.

We collect the following data from Internet Explorer 8 Beta users: But the sites are important to include for those customers in that region. The top sites in one region of the world might be very low on the worldwide list of top sites. For example, in addition to the top sites worldwide, we determine high-volume on a market-by-market basis. The sites on the list are based on objective criteria that are applied to telemetry data and to product support channels. To obtain the Compatibility View list, visit the following Microsoft Windows websites: This list updates automatically and helps users who are not Web-savvy have a better experience with Web sites that are not yet Internet Explorer 8-ready. Specifically, the feedback is based on the high-volume sites for which other users clicked the Compatibility View button. Note Sites are listed on the Compatibility View list in response to feedback from other Internet Explorer 8 customers. Compatibility View helps make Web sites that are designed for older browsers look better in Internet Explorer 8. When users install Windows Internet Explorer 8, they have a choice about opting in to a list of sites that will be displayed in Compatibility View. The same IE11 apps and sites you use today can open in Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode. Note: The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on J(for a list of what's in scope, see the FAQ).
