When I open IE9, the main menu is initially disabled. It is only enabled when I open a dialog, open developers tools, etc.

Any ideas?

  • Could you clairify what you mean by 'main menu'?

  • @MB34: Open gpedit.msc from the Run dialog and look under User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Browser menus. Are any of these options enabled?

  • Nothing is enabled. The only option in that section is "Turn Off print Menu"

Reset to default

This is the default behaviour in Internet Explorer 9 and above. You can enable it by right clicking in the empty space at the top of the window and then clicking 'Menu bar'.

Or, if you just want it temporarily, you can just press the Alt key on your keyboard.

  • So it is default for the main menu to be disabled when you open the program, that is a load of BS. Pressing Alt key did not work.

  • @MB34 - I just tried. It works in both IE8 and IE9.

  • @MB34 worked fine for me, running IE9. Pressing ALT will only bring it up temporarily, then you need to click on View > Toolbars > Menu Bar to have it always display.

  • IT DOES display, it is disabled, meaning I can't select any items.
