Turn off "The add-on is ready for use" message in Internet Explorer web browser. Once you disable this message, IE will automatically activate newly installed add-ons and will never show you any notification message.



If you install a new add-on or a new software in Windows and if the software automatically adds a toolbar or Explorer bar in Internet Explorer web browser, you get a popup notification message in Internet Explorer that "The 'xx' add-on from 'xx' is ready for use". You get two buttons "Enable" and "Don't enable". If you click on "Enable" button, the add-on is activated immediately. If you click on "Don't enable" button, the add-on is disabled by Internet Explorer.

If more than one add-ons were installed by the software, Internet Explorer shows "Several add-ons are ready for use" popup notification message. If you click on "Enable" button, Internet Explorer shows a new window showing a list of all newly installed add-ons. Here you can enable or disable desired add-ons.

Recommendation: Take Registry Backup prior making below changes (Registry Editor -> File -> Export)

>> Open Registry Editor

>> Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
>> Create a new key under Policies key and set its name to Ext
>> Now right click on the new Ext key and, create a new DWORD  value name IgnoreFrameApprovalCheck  and set its value to 1

>> If have 64-bit edition of Windows, you'll also need to create above key and DWORD value in below location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\

Note: Remember, trying out an early build like this can be risky. So it's recommended that you don't install the preview on your primary home or business PC. Unexpected PC crashes could damage or even delete your files, so you should back up everything.













Steps to follow:

>> Downloaded a Windows Insider Programvfrom Microsoft to prepare your Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating system for the upgrade. (It requires a restart of the PC so that the changes it made take effect. The device will boot into the current operating system after restart.)

>> Open Windows Update console on your PC.

>> Click on the check for updates button. It may take a while for the check to complete. Initiate the Windows 10 update from install button.


Important notes:

> Create a backup of your important files and data before you proceed with the update.

> If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows, you cannot upgrade to 64-bit versions of Windows 10.

>> This service can be used via chrome browser on desktops and ‘some’ Android devices. To try it navigate to web.whatsapp.com

>> When you head over to the website you’re greeted with a page with a QR code like the one in the image above.  The page shows us the supported devices which has been increased since yesterday. iOS support should be there soon.  Follow the instructions for each device type and scan the QR code.

>> At the moment, the web application works on Windows PCs and Android devices, but not in mobile or desktop Safari. However, it can be accessed on desktop Macs using Google’s Chrome browser, but not on iPhones and iPads running Chrome.

Seems support for more browsers is “coming soon,”
