Add-ons
Internet Explorer 10 is designed to provide an add-on free experience, and will play HTML5 and many Adobe
Flash Player videos without needing to install a separate add-on. Add-ons and toolbars will only work in
Internet Explorer for the desktop. To view a page that requires add-ons in Internet Explorer, swipe down or
right-click to bring up the Address bar, tap or click the Page tools button, and then tap or click View on the
desktop.
You can view, enable, and disable the list of add-ons that can be used by Internet Explorer for the desktop. For
more info, see Manage add-ons in Internet Explorer on Windows.com.
Note If you have a problem playing a video or viewing a webpage, see Videos won't play or webpages don't
display correctly on Windows.com.
Java and Silverlight plug-in compatibility
Add-ons, like Java and Silverlight, only work in Internet Explorer for the desktop. For installation instructions, see

Internet Explorer for the desktop.
