I have tried countless times on 2 different computers (both running Windows 11 Professional) with 2 different browsers (Edge & Chrome) with their Security Settings set to the lowest possible level and I have specifically "Allowed Insecure Content" in the browser settings but I'm still getting locked-out of a number of settings in the EWS setup program, specifically the "Password Settings", the "Administrator Settings" and the "Advanced" settings under the Wireless heading. I have also disabled the Windows Firewall, the built-in Windows Security program and Malwarebytes, all to no avail. When I use "HP Smart" app to try to access the settings it appears to go there but the screen remains blank. I'm at the end of my rope as to how to get past this ridiculous error message and get to the settings I need (most of the other settings are accessible, just not the "security-related" ones). If I want to take a chance on "risky" settings to set up my printer then it's my business, not that of some browser security setting. There has got to be some "work-around" available here and I know I'm not the only one to encounter this problem. The lack of updated "security certificates" seem to also play some role here but I'm 'way past caring about those either. There has got to be some step-by-step way to get around this somewhere. I've even tried setting the printer (a DeskJet 2652) back to its default state but that didn't seem to work, either. Hopefully somebody has answer here...
