Microsoft Silverlight may not be supported on your computer's hardware or operating system. RECOMMENDED: Use Silverlight in the 32-bit Internet Explorer process on x64 systems. Most browser plug-ins (including Silverlight, Flash, Java and almost all ActiveX controls) only work in. Silverlight not working with MS Edge I kept getting a msg that would hang up my machine saying Silverlight wanted to post a message for me. It stated that it wasn't completely working in Windows 10 but there was no pointer to navigate the popup nor would the tab key move through the selections. Locate the 'Install Silverlight' area in the lower-right part of the window. If you are running an Intel processor, click Mac Runtime next to 'Silverlight 3.' Otherwise, click Runtime for Mac PowerPC next to 'Silverlight 1.0.' After the download is completed, installation should start automatically. Follow the steps in the installation wizard.
How to solve Silverlight missing problem in Internet Explorer.
