Adding Trusted Sites (Windows 10)
|
This primarily pertains to the enhanced security of Windows 10 and its blocking of materials from websites. If you get security warnings that material from a source is insecure or blocked, making the site Trusted is often the resolution. Note: Make sure you only add websites you trust. Contact the Technical Help Desk if you are unsure. A common example is Blackboard Collaborate. Additionally, we recommend these steps be used for College computers and not for personal devices. |
| 1. Open Internet Explorer. In Windows 10 you can click Start and type "Internet Explorer." |
|
|
| 2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and choose " Internet options " from the list. |
|
|
| 3. Go to the Security tab and click on Trusted sites . |
|
|
| 4. Click the Sites button. You will be presented with a list of sites you have explicitly chosen to trust. By default it is blank. |
|
|
|
5. Add the sites to the list that you need to trust. For example, if you need to add https://na-downloads.elluminate.com/ to the list, instead try adding it as https://*.elluminate.com/ which will include all subdomains (sites) that are part of this site. |

|
a. If you get a "Trusted sites" error when adding the site and the site address starts with http:// (not https://) then you will need to un-check the "Require server verification..." checkbox. *Please use with caution. |
