This has got me scratching my head and I can't find any solution or reason for it.
We've received a load of new PCs at work from Dell, all with Windows 7 Pro 64bit pre-installed on them. Everything works fine except that I cannot change the default search provider in IE11. I can happily change the homepage (to Google) but cannot change the search provider.
I click on the address bar's drop down on the right, which shows Bing as the sole Search Provider. I click the Add button, which takes me to:
http://www.iegallery.com/en-gb/addons?callback=true&featuretype=2
And I can then click to Google (or Yahoo or whatever) and that gives me:
http://www.iegallery.com/en-gb/Addons/Details/813
However when I click the "Add to Internet Explorer" button, nothing happens - the website doesn't seem to recognise I've even clicked it.
I've removed Mcafee and tried it without any AV installed - still no response - and tried it with the website in my Trusted Sites catgeory, with pop-up blocker turned off, and everything else I can think of, still to no avail.
I can add Accelerators quite happily from the list, but any Search Providers just do nothing when clicked.
I've now checked 3 different PCs, some with all Windows updates installed, one with none, and it's the same situation - I'm still with Bing.
I can install Chrome and am happily using that, but it bugs me that I cannot get IE11 set up the way I want to set it up. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what can be wrong, or what I can do to actually get this working? Any suggestions gratefully received.
