Internet Explorer 10 and issues with Singapore Government Related Sites


Recently, Microsoft started distributing Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 to Windows 7 systems through Windows Updates. There’s an increase of calls related to issues with Internet Explorer 10.  Most of the law firms clients that we service uses access eLigation, EFS, and the websites does not support IE 10 yet. I really wonder why our legal services staff are well paid, yet the infrastructure is not built-or-upgraded accordingly. 

There are other clients using Windows 7 has problems with IE 10 also. I encountered that IE10 was not being able to download any files, only uninstalling Internet Explorer 10 resolves the problem. Users that logs-in to Electronic Filing System (EFS) are able to log-in, use the system, but when doing the unpacking of the document, there seems to be a script block of some sort which has no work-around as of this posting.

We will be disabling IE 10 updating in the Windows 7 implementations at the moment. 

The IE 10 blocker can be downloaded from the link below. 

which means, no law-firms in Singapore that requires EFS, can run on Windows 8 at the moment... Sad!
