SOLVED: IE11 Does Not Display Pictures, Just Placeholders and Flash Does Not Work
This is a train wreck of problem in IE11 that takes 3 seconds to fix. If you go to sites like MSN.COM and find that many of the graphics have not loaded and/or you find that Adobe Flash content will not play the solution may be to disable PROTECTED MODE:
Click the TOOLS cog icon in the top right corner
Click INTERNET OPTIONS
Click the SECURITY tab
Uncheck ENABLE PROTECTED MODE…
I have seen this so commonly that I in companies that I work at I disable PROTECTED MODE using Group Policy.
You may also notice that Adobe SHOCKWAVE Flash it NOT available when PROTECTED MODE is enabled. Check
Click the TOOLS cog icon in the top right corner
Click MANAGE ADD-ONS
Change the drop down to ALL ADD-ONS
Look for SHOCKWAVE FLASH and you will probably NOT see it in the list unless PROTECTED MODE is disabled
the problem I'm having is SOME images not showing in IE but do show in other browsers. Usually images that represent buttons or other page navigation "links"
this fix also did not work for me. shockwave showed up and is enabled.
Didn't work for me. And Shockwave Flash does show up when protected mode is on.
