Internet Explorer 10/11 hangs

Question
-
Hi All,
Scenario - Windows 7, IE 11, IE 10 and the newly released App-V 5.1 agent.
Previously we were using App-V 5.0 SP3.
The Application event log shows two faults:
- Faulting module : EMET.DLL
- Faulting module : NTDLL.DLL
I removed App-V 5.1 and sure enough IE 11 / IE 10 stops crashing. I re-installed it, rebooted and IE starts crashing again.
I removed the two following lines in the registry and IE 10 / IE 11 stops crasching:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / AppV / Client /Virtualization
ProcessesUSingVirtualComponents
Data:
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
Is this a known issue with a supported resolution or do we have to go back to 5.0?

This is a known issue for now. If you have upgraded from earlier version to App-V 5.1, this issue happens.
Either you can try new install without upgrading or remove the lines form the registry. Also renaming the AppVSentinel * .dll to AppVSentinel * .old will help to resolve the case.
Hope Microsoft will release fix for this soon.

Hotfix 1 for the 5.1 Client, which adresses this, should come by the End of this Month, as far as i'm informed.
If you have already upgraded a large amount of Clients, you can also remove IE from Virtual Components using the following GPO Setting: System\App-V\Virtualization\Virtual Component Process Whitelist = %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

We also have this issue since rolling out the 5.1 Client.
I.E. 11 hangs when opening new tabs, sometimes on the first tab, sometimes after opening 3 or 4 tabs. Nothing consistent about it, except that it happens very often.
Removing the App-V 5.1 client stops the I.E. crashes.
Thanks Microsoft for such fantastic quality control. I guess your test scripts didn't cover this scenario.
