Terminal Window's content is blocked as default

Windows 10 Enterprise 16299
Visual Studio Community 2017

Terminal Window is shown like a IE page running on local html and the active contents are blocked by default, Every time I open Visual Studio 2017 I need to reclick the "Allow blocked contents" to enable this extension. I tried to set the IE settings but it seems not applying to Visual Studio.
Is there any way to block this message and let the "active contents" automatically run without any security prompt?

That's an odd error to be getting. Do you have non-standard script settings for internet explorer? I had to work around the script blocking that VS turns on by default so there is a possibility that non-standard IE settings interfere with it.

@dgriffen I have not changed anything on IE settings since the Windows was installed, until this problem occurs.

Do you happen to have anything strange done with your hosts file? The current workaround relies on localhost being set properly.

@dgriffen my host file is not changed as well.

That's very strange. I have a few options available to me although neither is ideal.

  • Force disable the script security enabled by VS
  • Switch to internal API that requires per-machine extension

The second option also gets me some other benefits but I don't like it too much since the API is technically not for external use and it requires that the extension be per-machine.

I got the same issue and still dont know how to solve this.
