Good news! UTAPS has been updated and no longer requires Internet Explorer (IE) Mode to function properly.
Members and supervisors should now access UTAPS using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome without enabling IE Mode. In fact, UTAPS is no longer compatible with IE Mode and may not function correctly if it is enabled.
While some functionality issues are still being addressed, this update is a significant step forward and provides full browser compatibility with both Edge and Chrome.
If you experience any UTAPS system issues, please report them directly to the UTAPSWEB Help Desk at AFRC.UTAPSWEB@US.AF.MIL. Reporting issues helps ensure they are identified and resolved as quickly as possible.
HQ RIO Quick Guides are currently being updated to reflect these changes and will be published on the HQ RIO website soon.
Members should also ensure this information reaches their supervisors. Many supervisors have been unable to access or fully utilize UTAPS in recent years due to IE Mode requirements. With this update, supervisors should once again have full access and capability within the system.
