Garmin PlugIn Not Supported By IE11 - What's That Mean Then?

[cosmicbike]

In an offshoot from my 'Technology Is Wonderful' thread, I have just plugged my Garmin 500 in to upload todays rides, to be met with:

Upload Your Activities

Searching for Devices...
No Garmin devices found


IE 11 is not currently supported by the Garmin Communicator Plugin.
The Garmin plugin currently supports: Internet Explorer 6-10, Firefox 1.5+ on Win, 2.0+ on Mac, and Safari 2.0+

Now I have had no issues until 2 days ago, so presume IE11 is an update? Can I get rid? Or do I use a different 'browser' (and how would I do that + which one?)..

Hoping someone can help 'cos manually uploading is tedious...

Thanks

It means you should download Firefox (probably)

Lots of issues with IE11 - not with IE11 itself, but with 3rd party stuff not being compatible.

Follow this, and it should roll you back to IE10. The advice is for rolling back to 9 from 10, but this should work for 11 too.

^^ As above, it didn't work on IE11 for me either so I went back to IE10.

Perfect, thanks very much.
Normality has been resumed, for now...

Will I have to keep doing this, every time the PC gets Windows updates?

Being in the web development game, IE11 is proving to be the biggest pain in the @rse since the great, hopefully late IE6. In their eagerness to support tablet devices and windows 8 metro, Microsoft seem to have forgotten there's a whole Internet out there that may not fit in with their restricted world view.

I think there's an option buried somewhere that prevents automatic updates of IE in the future.

Or there's the microsoft 'blocker' . Linky here.

Or use another browser. I'm no google fanboy, but Chrome is fine. Firefox also perfectly functional.

No not if you change your update settings to "check for updates but let me choose whether to download & install them".
Then you can just uncheck the box for IE11 & install what you like.

I have ditched IE after using it since IE3 , the IE11 version was utter tripe . gone over to firefox and now wonder why i didn't many years ago

IE11 is pants! Causing me now end of issues when trying to talk to a blade server enclosure. I rolled it back to IE9 and disabled automatic updates.
Firefox and Opera are working well.

Many thanks for the pointers on here, my PC now works with my Strava200.
IE11 is now binned.
Just looking to find the hidden place where I can tell it not to update automatically,

Control panel>systems & security>windows update>change settings.

Perfect timing, I'm off to sort it.

So easy when you know where to look.
Many thanks @Goonerobes
