If JRE 64-bit does not start with Internet Explorer 11, you must run the following script and save with .reg extension. Then, you must stop and restart Internet Explorer 11 64-bit.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Support for mobile devices

Some Web GUI functions can be displayed on mobile devices. These functions are as follows:

Mobile event list: The pages of the mobile event list (the landing page, event dashboard, event list and event details) are supported on Android 2.3 and later, and iOS 5.0 and later for iPhones.
Mobile gauges: To display a Gauges page on a mobile device, the device must be a smartphone, JavaScript and AJAX must be enabled on the browser, and the screen must have a minimum resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. With this resolution, the Gauges page can display two columns of gauges. The Gauges page has been demonstrated on smartphones that run on the Blackberry 4.6+ and iOS 4.0+ operating systems and later.; The drilldown function of the Gauges page uses URL launch actions. If you experience problems with this function on a mobile device, ensure that the browser supports JavaScript and AJAX. Also ensure that no JavaScript actions are defined that might affect the function.
