Disable the Pop-Up Blocker or Change Settings

To block pop-ups even if they are launched when you click a link or button on a website page, follow these steps:

  1. Open Internet Explorer.
  2. Click Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker settings. The Pop-up Blocker Settings window opens.
  3. At the bottom of the window, for the Blocking Level, select the High setting from the drop-down list.

Even when the Pop-Up Blocker is disabled, you can view blocked pop-ups by holding down the CTRL key and clicking the blocked pop-up button or link.

To change the Pop-Up Blocker settings, repeat steps 1 and 2 above. If you want to view pop-up windows from a specific website, enter the address (URL) of the site in the Address of Web Site to Allow field and then click Add.

To allow a site to temporarily display pop-up windows, click the icon in the information bar that shows a pop-up was blocked, then click Temporarily Allow Pop-Ups.

For additional information about the Pop-Up Blocker, see the help documentation for Internet Explorer.

Use the Pop-Up Blocker in IE Service Pack 2

After installing Internet Explorer 11 Service Pack 2, the Pop-Up Blocker is turned on by default and set to the medium setting, meaning that it will block most automatic pop-ups.

These default settings allow you to view pop-ups that are opened when you click a link or button on a website page. The Pop-Up Blocker also plays a sound and shows the information bar when a pop-up is blocked. You can adjust these settings so that the Pop-Up Blocker works the way you want it to.
