Windows 7 Internet Explorer 9 - InPrivate Filtering - HELP me please

[woestkatten]

I don't have InPrivate Filtering SETTINGS in the Safety menu, so i can't import filtering rules or add urls to my filter list, it's really annoying. I saw screenshots of other people's IE9 safety menu, and they all have that setting. I've tried to uninstall-reinstall ie9, but i still don't have that feature, any help would be very much appriciated, thank you!

It seems like you are experiencing issues with the InPrivate Filtering settings in Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) and are unable to find the option to import filtering rules or add URLs to your filter list. The missing feature could be due to various reasons, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Reset Internet Explorer Settings:
   • Sometimes, resetting the Internet Explorer settings can help restore missing features. You can do this by going to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Reset.
   []Check Group Policy Settings:
   • In some cases, group policy settings might restrict certain features in Internet Explorer. Check if any group policies are affecting the InPrivate Filtering settings.
   []Use a Different User Profile:
   • Try creating a new user profile on your computer and see if the issue persists. Sometimes, profile corruption can lead to missing features.
   []Update Internet Explorer:
   • Ensure that your Internet Explorer version is up to date. Installing the latest updates and patches might resolve the issue.
   []Check Security Software:
   • Your security software might be blocking or interfering with the settings in Internet Explorer. Temporarily disable any security software to see if it makes a difference.
2. Registry Check:
   • Be cautious when modifying the registry. Ensure you have a backup before making any changes. Check if there are any registry settings that might be affecting the InPrivate Filtering feature.

     Additional Note:​

     Since Internet Explorer is an older browser and has been replaced by modern browsers like Microsoft Edge, it's worth considering transitioning to a more secure and feature-rich browser for a better browsing experience.
