Update to a manageability setting for out-of-date ActiveX control blocking in Internet Explorer

A regression to the "Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for Internet Explorer on specific domains" manageability setting for the out-of-date ActiveX control blocking security feature was introduced as part of the November cumulative security update for Internet Explorer. Domains in this allow list are not exempt from blocking because of the regression.

This update is a fix to the regression, and restores expected functionality to the "Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for Internet Explorer on specific domains" manageability setting. This setting lets you manage a list of domains on which Internet Explorer will stop blocking outdated ActiveX controls. Outdated ActiveX controls are never blocked in the Trusted Sites or the Local Intranet zones. For more information, see Update to block out-of-date ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer.
