I have Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11. I have enabled Javascript but it

Because I get reminded that it does not work. Is there a definite test so
that I am sure that it does not work? Thanks.

How do you know that Javascript doesn't work? Something must clue you
in that scripts in a web page aren't working. Got an example web site
where its behavior is not what you expect?

Where did you enable Javascript in IE? Was it at Control Panel -
Internet Options - Security tab? Are you using a standard security
level or did you customize the Internet level? If using a customized
Internet level, under its Scripting section, is "Active scripting" set
to Enabled? There are multiple zones depending on to where you host
connects. Internet is when you are on the Web.

At that same Security tab, click on Restricted sites. Then click on the
Sites button. Is whatever sites you are visiting where Javascript is
disabled listed in the Restricted Sites list? By default, the
Restricted Sites zone disables scripting. While you may have never
added any sites to the Restricted Sites security zone, you could be
using software that adds sites there (e.g., SpywareBlaster). In that
case, you probably shouldn't be visiting that site.

In addition to the Restricted Sites list, are you using any TPLs
(Tracking Protection Lists)? Control Panel - Internet Options -
Programs tab, Manage add-ons, Tracking Protection section. Sites in
those lists get blocked.

Have you disabled or uninstalled any add-ons that you installed into IE?

Have you tried temporarily disabling your anti-virus program?

Are you asking about Javascript or Java? They are NOT the same thing.

Invalid signature delimiter line, and Avast knows that. They don't want
users that configure their clients to hide or strip signatures (almost
always off-topic and fluff) to miss their spam

Configure Avast to NOT append its spam signature to your messages which
then makes them spam. Or uninstall their E-mail module since it is
superfluous (detects nothing more than the on-demand scanner already
detects and, in fact, that module uses the on-demand scanner).

I use Avast free. I don't let it spamify my messages.

I am definitely talking about Javascript. Java is shown in Control Panel
'Programs' but no mention of Javascript. I will research your other
suggestions.

Not with a vague statement like that.

What do you mean by "does not work"? Is it a particular site?

It could be something else. For example, if cookies are
disabled, some sites will not work.

Yes there is a definite test. Put this code in a plain text file and
then save it as "emrys.html". Then double click on the file and open it
in a browser. Click on the button where it says to show you your Date
and Time. It you don't get the date & time then you know "IT DEFINITELY
DOESN'T WORK".

I am definitely talking about Javascript. Java is shown in Control Panel
'Programs' but no mention of Javascript. I will research your other
suggestions.

Javascript won't be listed as its own program listing in Add/Remove
Programs. Javascript engines are embedded in the web browsers, not
separate from them. IE has its Javascript engine (Chakra), Firefox has
its own (Spidermonkey), and Chrome has something different (V8).
Because Javascript isn't external, it also isn't wholly compatible
between different web browsers. What runs fine in one web browser may
misbehave in another.

Java is a separate interpreter and will show in the Add/Remove Programs
listing. Could be the 72MB JRE (Java Runtime Environment) mostly for
end users that run Java [web] apps or the 200MB JDK (Java Development
Kit) mostly for programmers building the Java apps. Java was an ActiveX
plug-in to IE, but Microsoft dumped ActiveX and plug-ins in their Edge.
Google and Mozilla have dropped support for plug-ins. Flash is the last
plug-in but it dies at the end of 2020 when Adobe drops it. Java is
like COBOL: both linger on for decades in a slow death. If there are
remnant customers with deep-enough pockets than anything stays alive.

Do you really do any Java programming? Still visiting old game sites
that require Java? Due to the security issues with Java, it was
discontinued bundling with web browsers a long time ago.

It has information like this:

JavaScript True
JavaScriptEnabled True
JavaScriptBuild 5.7.22589

This is the latest IE11 I could load on Win7 SP1.

https://i.postimg.cc/rpKCr1k6/IE11-Oct-2018.gif

JavaScript True
JavaScriptEnabled True
JavaScriptBuild 11.0.19155

This is a Javascript benchmark. This even runs
on an old browser, so I guess this doesn't prove
"your Javascript engine is modern enough".

Does Programs and Features have a Repair for IE11 ?

Windows Features has a tick-box for IE11, but that
won't remove it completely.

IE11 has a reset in Tools:Internet Options:Advanced at the bottom.
Note the warning underneath the button! You'll need to research
exactly what that button nukes. Like Favorites or something...
I'm sure it will turf the plugins, as it would not be worthwhile
resetting, without throwing the plugins to the curb.

How about you give us a URL of a site's page you think uses Javascript
but the page "does not work"? Could be the site you're visiting simply
refuses to work with an antiquated web browser, like IE (any version).

Here are some test sites:

http://www.cyscape.com/showbrow.aspx?bhcp=1
(check JavascriptEnabled value)

This is a very simple clock page: http://notstupid.us/clox/clockie.html
.. It will tell you if Javascript works (since the clock is updated every
