I also use:

* graphics opengl
But I didn’t think that was a hidden option. I don’t have it marked as such.

I am not familiar with them all, but will comment on those I do know about.

auto_assembly_with_layouts yes
default_object_invalid_refs copy
dm_background_operations no 8000000 - Size in bytes of HTTP upload to PDM. Default is 100000.
dm_network_threads 8 - I think there was a thread on this a while back. I don't think this is a valid option anymore. I want to say it was changed in Creo 2 but it might have been 3. You used to be able to change opengl to win32_gdi which bypassed the graphics card and used the CPU for graphics rendering to troubleshoot graphics cards as a source of bugs or Pro/Exits
intf3d_in_close_open_boundaries yes
intf_in_use_template_models yes
logical_objects yes
nt_cache_dirs yes
query_bin_start yes
regen_layout_w_assem yes
relat_marks_obj_modified no
retain_pattern_definition yes
spin_control drag
standard_hole_note_correction on

auto_assembly_with_layouts yes - Copies missing objects so the part/feature does not fail

dm_background_operations no

dm_emulate_ilink_sys_parameters yes

dm_network_request_size 8000000

dm_network_threads 8

drawing_file_editor editor Tries to heal gaps when importing STEP files (maybe IGES too)

graphics opengl

What is the purpose of: browser_limit_to_ie9_mode yes? Does the option address the Windchill 10.0/Creo 2.0 /IE 10 or 11 compatibility issues?

Mark,

Yes it does. We ran into a huge issue with that last year. Creo 2.0 / Windchill 10.1 is not compatible with IE 10 or 11.

Be aware uninstalling IE 11 will automatically revert to IE 10, but IE 10 has an option turned on that will automatically update IE to version 11. Lovely. We discovered that when we uninstalled IE 11, thinking our computers would revert back down to IE 9 (which had been installed), but IE 11 kept coming back. Then we figured out what was happening.

The embedded browser compatibility options (with both IE and Firefox) are a huge pain.

This worked well for us in the couple months between when IT rolled out IE 11 and when we upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2 last week. We first tries the Mozilla based embedded browser but that had poor performance and the Mozilla cache got corrupted a lot so this while unsuppported was a much better option for us.

Does anyone know if there's any negative effects to having this set with IE 11 and 10.2? I suspect a number of users here have it in their local configs so wondering if I need to worry about that...

We've been using it with 10.2 no problems.
