We have this intermittent printing issues with network printer where we triggered Page Setup in IE11 in the Win7 PC, it does not give us the usual Page Size like A4, A5, A6. Instead we are only allowed to choose from Oficio and Youkei. Restarting the PC usually resolves this issue temporarily but it will happen again.
Any IE settings/configs that we should change to fix this?

Recently, opening Outlook 2019 is triggering a Edge browser announcing "Your Organization is moving to Microsoft Edge"...with about 6 or so following "Nexts"...I cannot seem to surpress it (we use Google Chrome as default). That aside, for a few, a blank white Edge window opens instead, which I presume is the same thing but failing to display the content...I cannot get it to stop, even by launching the URL from a working machine and running through the "wizard"...seems like blowing away Edge or Windows profile might be the only solution (or something else common to them...they are all similar machines, same MDT image load)...they are virtual machines though (come to think of it as I type this). Our others are physical PCs.
I ran into the same issue. When Outlook 2019 launches it opens a white Edge window that is unresponsive. The issue is triggered only when a user signs into Edge to setup account sync. If there is no user sign in then issue does not occur.
After many hours of troubleshooting the issue was resolved by setting the following registry entry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge\IEToEdge
RedirectMode 2
Our company uses Macbook Pros as dev machines with external monitors.
Recently Chrome 53 started displaying the wrong colours in a PHP/Javascript web app when displayed on an external monitor.
The colour issue does not occur if Chrome is dragged to the internal MacBook Pro screen.
The colour issue does not occur in Safari, Opera or Firefox.
This is happening on 2 notebooks.
Does anyone have a hint as to the cause or potential solution?
I found a link to a problem where Chrome made the screen black on Windows 10 and thought it may be related.
The suggested solution was to disable hardware acceleration in Chrome Advanced settings.
I tried this and it worked - colours have returned to normal.
I still feel this is a Chrome defect, but at least the colours on the external monitor are distinguishable.
I got new pc in office and I had installed IIS from windows feature (on/off) and everything appears good.
When I started iis manager I can just see my pc name i.e.
MyPCName (MyDomainName\MyUserName)
thats it. I can't see anything else. Expanding server doesn't show anything. Right clicking on it just giving three options -
Refresh
Rename
Switch to Content View
I can't see any other option. So far I had re-installed it multiple times. and restarted my pc multiple times, but nothing changed.
Can anyone help?
I'm familiar with the differences in rendering web fonts in different browsers and/or OS. A couple of questions though:
I use a web font (woff) that looks like crap in Chrome but is OK in FF (on Windows 7). The other day I used my office computer from home via remote desktop. I noticed that the font now looked like crap in FF too. It looked much the same as in Chrome at the office. (I didn't test Chrome at home). I know that remote desktop reduces "the graphics" somehow, but not exactly how, and I have no idea how it could effect font rendering. When I came to the office the day after, the rendering in FF was still messed up. I guess the remote desktop session´s changes to "the graphics" was still in effect. I checked with Chrome and now rendering in that browser looks fine, like in FF before!!? So I restarted the computer to get back my usual "graphics settings" but that didn't help. Then I cleared the font cache and restarted again. Now I'm back to crappy Chrome rendering and OK FF rendering.
My questions:
What is happening with "the graphics" in general, and with font rendering in particular, when I connect with remote desktop (setting = 32-bit color depth)? My guess is that whatever changes, it gets both FF and Chrome to use another rendering method than before.
How can the effect still be there after rebooting the computer. Is the "rendering result" somehow stored in the font cache as it seems?? Seems odd.
Thanks for any advice.
Chrome cannot render TrueType fonts with correct anti-aliasing at the moment. WOFF fonts are containers for either OpenType or TrueType, in your case probably TrueType, so you get the crappy rendering. You can either serve an SVG font to Chrome (bigger file size) or use a WOFF based on OpenType.
Apart from that, many other factors influence font rendering, like having the font locally on your system or having ClearType enabled or not (which is not enabled by default through remote desktop).
See here as well.
I had the same issue and searched but found no answers.
Ultimately in my case it was a combination of remote desktop, server 2012 and browser fonts (Roboto in my case).
It was the worst in chrome, ok in firefox, perfect in ie.
The cause was the missing feature 'desktop experience' in server 2012.
To add this feature to server 2012:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager. In Server Manager, click Features, and then in the Server Manager details pane, under Features Summary, click Add features. In the Features list, select Desktop Experience, and then click Install.
That completely fixed the issue for me in all browsers/fonts, hope it helps someone else out there.
Has anyone encountered the following problem: I have IIS7 running on my computer. On that same computer, I open IE7 and the website works (http://localhost/web.site/Default.aspx). Put that same url in Firefox 3 and I get the welcome screen of IIS7, a big image with IIS7 in the middle and 'Welcome' in several different languages. Clicking on the image leads you to http://www.iis.net/.
One browser accesses your server via 127.0.0.1, and another via your external IP.
Make sure virtualhost works with all network interfaces.
Perhaps your browsers have different locals set , only guessing as I have not used IIS7
Strange. That happened to me this morning (April 9, 2009), but the other way around. I was trying to get to Dell.ca. IE7 brought me to that IIS7 Welcome screen and Firefox brought me to the correct site. Happened 3 times before it corrected itself.
I do not have IIS anywhere on my network and my default home page is Google, which came up without a problem. The redirection occurred when I typed the new URL. I wonder if Dell is using IIS7...
