How to use DebugDiag now that Internet Explorer is deprecated?


DebugDiag generates its results and displays them using Internet Explorer. Specifically, its using ActiveX controls for display and navigation. However, my Internet Explorer has been disabled, either by a Windows update or perhaps corporate policy (not sure).

How can I use DebugDiag going forward without the Internet Explorer? I haven't seen an update. Is there a replacement?

Specifically I am trying to see the stack trace of a crashed .NET Framework 4.61 process.

P.S. My solution for now is to use a box that hasn't been updated yet, but it's not really a solution.


Solution

  • Do you mean open the generated .mht report file? If so, you can open the file using Edge IE mode. Edge IE mode supports ActiveX controls.

    You need to enable IE 11 in Windows Features, then you can refer to this doc to load the site in Edge IE mode.
