Setting Up Your Browser
To begin, ensure that you are using a Web browser and Java plug-in version supported by Windchill.
For information on the combinations of platforms, PTC products, and third-party products supported with this release, see the Release Matrix for the relevant Windchill+ version available in the Product Release Calendar.
Additional considerations:
• If an Unsupported Browser Mode error message appears when you open Windchill, your company may have set your browser to a mode incompatible with Windchill. To return to a default browser configuration, see your system administrator.
• If you have enabled Java Web Start using the Preference Management utility, and you are running Windchill on a UNIX platform, you may be prompted to select a helper application when launching an explorer. Select javaws.

Pop-Up Blocker Interference
Many web browsers and third-party applications include pop-up blockers to prevent unwanted pop-ups. However, these blockers can interfere with certain Windchill operations that require new windows to open, such as downloading object content. To avoid pop-up blocker interference in a browser, add your Windchill server domain to the list of allowed sites. For instance, if your Windchill home page URL is https://mycompanyurl.ptcmscloud.com/Windchill/, add https://mycompanyurl.ptcmscloud.com to the allowed sites. For instructions on how to add a URL to the list of allowed sites, refer to the following links:
