Answer 1

Cause of the error is that: IE11 with the IEDriverServer_x64_3.5.0 or latest version on windows 7 64bit or other system environment.

This error is not about the IE security setings or regedits, but because the IEDriverServer version is not compatible.

Please use the IEDriverServer_x64_3.0.0.
