Most of the time, these pop-ups are advertisements on websites you are browsing. There are also cases of them triggering the installation of malware on your device without prompting you. In this article, we will be discussing how you can get rid of them in your Internet Explorer. Since they are needed to complete actions on some sites, we will also highlight how to enable them.

Where can I find the Pop-up Blocker?

The pop-up blocker is enabled by default in Internet Explorer 11. Majorly, it can be found under the Privacy settings in the browser itself. Aside from here, you can also find and tweak its activities in other places like:

System Registry – It is like a database of configuration information for applications and preferred settings for users of a PC. The Internet Explorer Pop-up blocker can be enabled or disabled from here (more on that later). Group Policy – Administrators of a PC can manage settings for applications here. It allows you to specify configuration for users connected to the system.
