So I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer with IE 11 installed. The computer is fully updated and spotlessly clean of any malware.
Yesterday I tried to access Internet Explorer, just to find out that it will no longer open. I have no idea how long the problem has been present, as I very rarely go into IE. It's been several weeks, if not months, since I last had any reason to use IE.
I have tried everything I can think of to no avail, and there is no rhyme or reason that I can think of for IE to suddenly stop working. SFC /scannow found no errors, and I have not installed any new programs.
I updated the video driver, but no difference. I even went as far as removing IE11 and then reinstalling it. No difference. I reset IE 11 to factory default (to include personal options), but again no difference.
Looking online for help, I tried removing all unneeded services. Nothing. I went into IE properties>>Advanced and checked "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering." Again, no go.
As a last ditch attempt, I used System Restore and went back 10 days. After a restart, no difference other than I had to reinstall a printer driver.
As a kicker, I can access the IE engine through Firefox. This is an add-on feature that allows me to use the IE engine within a Firefox tab. No problems there.
My main computer has a nearly identical setup (very, very minor differences), but IE 11 works fine on it.
Now I'm off to work, so this will have to wait.
Scuzzy; *sigh*
