Since we had a Windows and more specifically a Microsoft Edge update we receive a couple of alert messages every time we now log in to IFS Apps 9.

1 - Open this file?

Do you want ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application from (our server name).local
Report file as unsafe
Open or Cancel

on clicking on open we receive the following…

2 - Cannot Start Application

OK or Details
Pressing OK opens IFS and the system appears to operate OK but with an empty Microsoft Edge TAB in the background.

Clicking on Details… brings up the following information

All of the modern browsers want you to use an https secured site.  They all have various methods around this for local sites, none of them are pretty or seamless.  You might look into adding certificates in your Dev environment and working though the issues until you get that working correctly before moving to production.  I wish I had better news.  Certificates can be a pain to generate correctly.
