Can not run Java Applets in Internet Explorer 11 using JRE 7u51

Question

Today I updated my Java version to 7u51. After the installation, I cleared Java Cache, browser\'s Cache, and logged into a secure website that uses an Applet to provide cert

Answer 1

I've just resolved the problem on two PCs (Win 8 64-bit with IE10; Win 8.1 32-bit with IE11). With Java 7 Update 67 both cases (same with update 65 and, probably, others).

In my case, it was caused by java ssv, which first requested admin rights, then Java stopped working because it messed something using them.

So, my resolution was:

1. Reinstall java. No reboot required, but close browsers beforehand. Also, it's not required to uninstall it before running installer (I didn't).
2. On 1st (or 2nd) launch of IE, privilege elevation will be prompted for Java SSV. If denied, it will pop up again. Multiple times. Important here is to deny them all.
3. To stop these prompts, disable Java SSV helpers (both of them) in Add-Ons or when IE prompts about startup times.

After that, http://www.java.com/verify/ prompts to run Java (twice, 1st time IE, 2nd time Java itself) and, when allowed, says everything is OK.
