Windows Update installed IE 10 during an automatic update. My fault for not preventing it. Since the update to IE 10, I am having problems with it when clicking on both favorites and on links on web pages.
When I click on a favorite, one of four things happens:
1. About 80% of the time, the browser behaves normally and loads the destination page of the favorite right away.
2. Sometimes nothing happens; it's as if I have not clicked at all.
3. Sometimes the browser display turns white, but the destination web site never loads.
4. Sometimes I must click the favorite two or three times before the browser finally loads the destination page.
A similar problem occurs when clicking a link on a web page. It works most of the time, but too often nothing happens until I have clicked the link two or three times.
Both problems seem to happen randomly. They occur with sites I visit frequently but also with sites I am visiting for the first time. For example, it happened a half dozen times today when I clicked my favorite for Google.
The problems were apparent immediately after IE 10 was installed. I tried disabling add-ins, which made no difference.
Is there a fix, short of reverting to IE 9 or using a different browser? For work purposes, I need a properly working version of IE. I'd like it to be IE 10, if possible, for purposes of compatibility with customers. For my own use, I can use a different browser.
Thanks,
Jeff
