Hotfixes for IE 11 KB 3192665, KB 3185611, KB 3185614
Thanks to poster Jonathan Seymour:
MS just released a new out of band non-security patch for Internet Explorer 11, responding to a bug in MS16-104, which breaks installation of Active X controls — specifically, the ActiveX Installer Service.
Details about the problem in KB 3192665.
The instructions are enormously hard to follow. Here’s my guess as to what it was supposed to say:
If you have the original “RTM” Windows 10 build “1507,” you need to manually download and install KB 3193519.
If you have the Fall Update, Win10 version 1511, you need to manually download and install KB 3193517.
There is no indication I can see about your choices if you have the Anniversary Update, version 1607.
It’s also worth noting that both of those KBs are up to revision 3.0. Something’s screwed up.
For those of you running IE 11 on Win7 or 8.1, you need to download KB 3192665 from the Windows Update Catalog. Use this link:

Or download directly:
Of course, if you don’t use AXIS to install ActiveX controls, you have nothing to worry about.
