activexinternet explorerinternet-explorer-10java

Recently IE has introduced a new security feature Out of date Activex blocking.
If your application uses any Activex control. And while loading it in IE it checks whether it is up to date or not.
If its not, it prompts with a message and blocks the loading.

For example, If your system contains lesser version of jre (assume 1.7.0_55) and if you try to load an applet in IE. it prompts like this
Java Activex prompt
(source: microsoft.com)

because there is an update for java is available.

Is there any way to disable this feature. I checked following link from microsoft,

They have given two solutions for this problem

1. Modifying Group policy settings using Administrative templates

2. Modifying Group policy settings using registry commands

These solutions are system level and more confusing for the user. Is there any simple and better solution.

This security block wont work in trusted sites zone. So to disable this feature add the site to the trusted sites and put the security level as medium.
If it still blocking, delete the browser cache and load it again.
