How to Enable 64 Bit Tab Processes for Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 8
InformationIn 64-bit Windows 8, the Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) browser frame process (both “modern UI” and Desktop) runs 64-bit. However, for compatibility with plug-ins, IE10 on the desktop runs 32-bit tab processes by default. If the user turns on “Enhanced Protected Mode”, they will then have 64-bit tab processes by default for the desktop IE10. This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Enhanced Protected Mode.
