Gmail on IE11 and W10

[Sheridan]

Another day, another thing that doesn't work in W10 for no apparent reason

 

When users try to access their GAFE/Gmail account in IE11 (we use that on Windows 7 and 10 PCs) they get the login page, but then get that stupid robot with the 'Invalid Request' message

 

Works fine with Chrome though, and IE11 and Gmail work fine on every Windows 7 PC so its just IE11 on Windows 10.

 

Is this a google push to forcing chrome on us I wonder!

Might not help really, but I can access & use a standard gmail account on IE11 in Win 10.

Damn! Must be something to do with our W10 image then, the GPO's were stripped down and rebuilt to make sure they had the minimum settings needed.

 

Weird really, as all the others (docs,calendar etc ) all work, as does the google Admin console - its only gmail that generates that useless message.

Our users get this with Gmail sometimes, normally with IE, where they will log in and just get the Robot, we always suggest Chrome and IE/Gmail normally sorts itself out in a day.

Chrome does work fine, but IE11 has never worked with gmail here but only on the Windows 10 machines. IE11 is still working fine on the Windows 7 ones.

 

Very odd.

Could it be something to do with the sources for the adverts getting blocked? In IE you get a lot of adverts for "download chrome" "switch to a safer browser" and lots of other rubbish when your on Google or gmail which will be coming from one of Googles spammy advert domains.

 

*which you wouldn't get in Chrome
