Who has installed ie10? and what do you think?

[robinb9]

I installed it on a test machine running windows 7 pro sp1. I did not use windows updates. I went to windows IE10 site and picked it up there. I installed the 32bit because that machine only runs 32bit.
I saw not much of a difference between ie9 and 10 but again I was on a test machine that doesn't really have too much stuff on it. It is not running Office, it is running Libre Office 4. So far I see no problems but i am hestitant to put it on a machine that runs all kinds of programs at this time till I see how others have faired.
I will tell you I did not install the Kb2670838 pre rec update at all, and unless it is inside the ie10 browser it did not ask me for anything while i was installing it.
So- what about the rest of you all?

ooops, I did not realize to put it in Browser and Mail, sorry bout that

It`s OK, I don`t like the small address area, I am staying with IE8, I like it. A browser is a browser, nothing to loose sleep over.:sarc:

 

[indianacarnie]

I feel about the same as AddRAM. Downloaded/installed with no problems. Used it it for an hour or so , just surfing to check it out. Pretty quick and only found a couple of "glitches" with websites, all very minor. The (very)small imho, address area is annoying but livable I guess. Full disclosure: I use Opera as my main browser and have for years, that will continue unchanged. My secondary browser is and will remain Maxthon also. Having said all THAT , I'll be keeping it on my system "just in case". Have to hand it to MS on this one though as they are finally getting it right.

It is OK. You have to enable Enhanced Protection Mode to get it to operate fully 64 bits.

You can expand the address area by right clicking on the window top border and unselect lock the toolbar

Then drag the right side of the address area to increase its size.

It's IE, just with a higher number, nothing more............. At least I feel good knowing I'm up-to-date.

Thank you for the tip. IE is my 3rd choice in browsers so am not that familiar with it.

Also right click on the window top bar and check "show tabs on a separate row" this will expand the address bar.

The downside to that is reduced usable screen height, which could be a problem on smaller monitors such as the displays on laptops.

I still like ie9 better

 

[ICIT2LOL]

I am with robin I shall return to IE9 I think if I can - too many slow page downloads and flickers it has also blocked me from my employers site where I access my employment details.

At first it was thought that the problem was that I didn't have Java on but installing it (the employer uses Oracle) made no difference.

Might go back to IE10 when and if the problems can be ironed out.

I have found IE10 irritating so far. I didnt yet get it offered on updates so i downloaded from the site for my win 7 64 bit. It seems fine handling normal web browsing and external sites. But when accessing most things on my internal network typing 192.168.1.xxx such as my router web UI or my NAS UI it seems to intermittently delay on 'waiting for xxxxx to respond'. Can take upto 20 secs to respond. Sometimes the internal devices web browser page responds immediately and other times I see the delay. Even occassionally happens accesing ny Ftp hard drive within ie10 too. Very annoying. Don't know if its down to buggy IE10 or my own system. All I know is I don't recall this being a problem on IE9 and I also have Mozilla Firefox on my laptop which has no issue with all 'internal' web pages coming up immediately. Have tried all sorts with IE 10 changing compatibility modes and twiddling mode under developer tools. Clearing cache, cookies etc as well as resetting IE10 to defaults & running without add ons makes no difference.

Am tempted to roll back to IE9 but I am sure windows update will then soon keep bothering me to install as a recommended update. So not sure what do as I like to be updated for security and full compatibility for future internet sites.

Thanks

When Windows update nags you to update, just hide the update and the nagging goes away.

 

[Scottyboy99]

Thanks. Yes I could do that but I like to stay updated for security and future compatibility. Are others finding it quirky accessing 'internal' devices web UI?

IE9 broke getting to my router. I have to enter the password for every single page load. With IE10, the password is remembered as it should be until I exit the browser. I tested this with both the 32bit and 64bit versions of IE10 and the 32bit and 64bit versions of IE9.

Of course, you would report that this issue was intermittent for you - so maybe I've not hit the issue yet. :-(

I've not found a problematic website yet

But I'm sticking with IE9 for now with IE10 in a VM.

Ie10

I don't have a problem with the browser remembering logins/passwords/credentials. It's just the pause when accessing internal devices via web UI. I'll try and login to my router for admin purposes. Type 192.168.1.1 and sometimes it just sits their 'waiting for response' for upto 20 seconds until the login dialogue box even shows. If I try it again minutes later it might go in straight away but then a a 3rd time I might see same delay. The same goes for my NAS, mybook live - I'll boot up and type 192.168.1.8 and can sometimes be over 10 seconds waiting for response.

It must be said that any external web browsing is not problematic on IE10, all fast and responsive.

I do also have Firefox installed and this works absolutely fine for everything. Even the safari browser on my iPhone works fine with these 'internal device web UI' pages loading more or less instant.

I am wondering if it's a bug that needs ironing out but do feel it's one of those things that will never be fixed. Especially as googling around I am not seeing an awful lot of hits for things like 'IE10 bugs, IE10 problems' etc.

Am holding off at the mo but am getting tempted to try and uninstall IE10 so it auto rolls back to IE9 - I just fear this will not be a painless procedure. I know all you need to do is uninstall the update and it should be back to IE9 but I fear the same problems have now embedded themselves. I wish I did a windows backup image prior to installing IE10 now!

Cheers,
Wayne

I just Googled "IE10 problem" and got plenty of hits. The one flaw (or design feature) that is enough by itself to turn me off of IE10 until it gets fixed or changed is that IE10 turns off Aero. I have Aeroglass turned off since it's unnecessary eye candy (and I don't even feel it looks all that great) but I denpend heavily on Aeropeek and Aerosnap (heck, I got spoiled on my XP machines from using an Aerosnap emulator, even long before getting a Win7 machine).

It's a hit and miss with breaking Aero. It works fine on both my machines. The only issue I have is any arrows (scrollbar) or selection box arrows show as squares, and not arrow.

Have heard that IE 10 is having problems with Aero
