More instructions from Microsoft here.įor this one I’ve chosen to disable, but the ‘enable and let users disable’ option is quite nice – it’d be even better if there was a ‘disable but let users enable’!

Other browsers are fine (such as Chrome or Edge), and Internet Explorer is fine without the above add-ons. Scrolling through the page for several seconds either through mousewheel or sidebar should result in a brief freeze lasting a second or two. With these addons loaded though, some sites lag and freeze that have large amounts of text here’s a good example. They use the same Class ID and DLL File, and provide options such as click to call links on phone numbers on a page: I’ve discovered an issue with the Skype for Business add-ons to Internet Explorer which causes pages with large amounts of text to freeze briefly when scrolling.Īs part of a Skype for Business install, two add-ins get loaded. The following PowerShell commands create a new QoS Group Policy Object for Teams Room Systems: A new Active Directory Group Policy Object called Teams Room System QoS is created in the default Group Policy Objects location.
