I am having the infamous activeX warning appearing again with all my toolboxes in ArcMap 10.5, but only when I click in an empty field. This started only recently, and I think it may be linked with the recent Windows 10 Creators Update. I've tried the traditional solution of adjusting the Internet Options, but with no success. Is anyone else having this difficulty?

Will these two files work with 10.4.1?

Prasanta,

I'm running ArcGIS 10.5.1.7333 and Windows 10 Pro v.1709 (Build 16299.431) and the .xsl update fix is not working for me.

Thanks,

Tracy

This fix did not work for me on 10.5.1.7333 - so I upgraded to 10.6 and that resolved the ActiveX warning message.

Does this issue not occur if you have not installed "Windows 10 version 1703 (Creators Update)" onto a Windows 10 computer?

Is there a way to check if this "Creators Update" has been installed on a computer?  Somewhere in Control Panel for an administrator on the computer?

I guess it isn't possible to test that now since I already upgraded to 10.6  and the issue appears to be resolved - but to see if the update has been installed, I am not sure how to find that. Here is a screenshot of the Windows updates that are installed on my windows 10 Pro machine.  I tried searching the control panel for that but no luck.   I have version 1709 (OS Build 16299.248) does that help?
