About this update

There is consensus across the industry that the RC4 cipher is no longer cryptographically secure, and therefore RC4 support is being removed with this update. With this change, Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 are aligned with the most recent versions of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
For detailed information about RC4 cipher removal in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11, see RC4 will no longer be supported in Microsoft Edge and IE11.
If you want to turn on RC4 support, see details in the More information section.

Use internet explorer instead of edge
  • Microsoft made new Microsoft Edge browser default in Windows 10 and also moved Internet Explorer shortcut in Start Menu from main programs list to Accessories which was very hard to notice and find. Microsoft’s intention was to encourage users to use Microsoft Edge browser instead of the old Internet Explorer browser.
  • Run in IE mode on the new Microsoft Edge. IE mode on Microsoft Edge makes it easy to use all of the sites your organization needs in a single. It uses the integrated Chromium engine for modern sites, and it uses the Trident. MSHTML engine from Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) for legacy sites.
  • Knowing that some companies have been unable to move to other browsers, Microsoft have introduced Internet Explorer 11 emulation into their new Edge browser. This should allow people to load 'that one old site' in IE11 mode while viewing the rest of the internet using a browser far better suited to today's internet.
  • Open Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. Click the Settings and More (ellipsis) button on the top-right corner. Select the Settings option. Click on Default browser. Under the “Internet Explorer compatibility” section, turn on the “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode” toggle switch. Microsoft Edge enable IE mode; Click the.

The Microsoft® Edge browser and the Internet Explorer® 11 browser are the two different pre-installed browsers in the Microsoft Windows® 10 operating system.

More Information

Update any servers that rely on RC4 ciphers to a more secure cipher suite, which you can find in the most recent priority list of ciphers.
If you have the need to do so, you can turn on RC4 support by enabling SSL3. To have us do this for you, go to the 'Here's an easy fix' section. If you prefer to do this manually, go to the 'Let me fix it myself' section.
Note (risk): Using this workaround increases your risk, as the RC4 ciphers are considered insecure, and SSL3 as a whole was disabled by default with the April 2015 security updates for Internet Explorer because of known vulnerabilities. We consider this workaround a last resort, and you should either update the server or request that the server owner update the list of supported cipher suites in compliance with Update to add new cipher suites to Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge in Windows (KB3161639).

Here's an easy fix

To turn on RC4 support automatically, click the Download button. In the File Download dialog box, click Run or Open, and then follow the steps in the easy fix wizard.
Notes

  • This wizard may be in English only. However, the automatic fix also works for other language versions of Windows.

  • If you are not on the computer that has the problem, save the easy fix solution to a flash drive or a CD and then run it on the computer that has the problem.

Let me fix it myself

Important Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
You can also turn on RC4 support by enabling SSL3 in either settings or through the registry manually.

Method 1: Internet Options settings

Explorer

To turn on SSL3 in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer through settings, follow these steps (be aware that the Microsoft Edge uses the Internet Explorer 11 settings; there is no way to do this in the Microsoft Edge UI):

  1. Start Internet Explorer.

  2. Go to Internet Options > Advanced > Settings > Security > Use SSL 3.0.

Method 2: Registry Editor

To turn on SSL3 through the registry:

  1. Start Registry Editor to modify the registry entry:

    • In Windows 10, go to Start, enter regedit in the Search Windows box, and then select regedit.exe in the search results.

    • In Windows 8.1, move your mouse to the upper-right corner, click Search, type regedit in the search text box, and then click regedit.exe in the search results.

  2. Locate and then select the following registry entry:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsSecureProtocols Note If you don’t have SecureProtocols registry entry added, you can follow these steps:

    1. Locate and then select the following registry subkey:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings

    2. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

    3. Type SecureProtocols, and then press Enter.

  3. Change the current SecureProtocols value by setting the fifth bit to 1.
    For example, if the current value is '0x0a80,' setting the fifth bit of '0x0a80' will produce the value '0x0aa0' ('0x0a80 | 0x0020 = 0x0aa0').

If you enable SSL3, some secure sites will fail to load, you might try to see what’s going wrong by enabling Fiddler’s HTTPS Decryption feature and re-visiting the site. For more information, see Misbehaving HTTPS Servers impair TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.
