See if closing IE normally closes all processes. If not, then try without add-ons.
Start> In search box type internet explorer> Click on Internet Explorer (No add-ons) in results above> Confirm one instance of IE in task manager> Close IE (No add-ons) and see if the process closes
I would suspect an add-on/extension as a likely cause. A Guy
No issues since re-installing Flash but will keep an eye on it. I notice in the task manager when IE10 opens it has two processes that run...one using a small amount (about 6k) and another using more (about 60k) so I will assume this is normal so in my prior post about the multiple ones showing that amount would be half so about 3-4 instances of IE were running even though it was not open.
I think this is a browser problem; my Hotmail won't open under Windows7IE9; I have to use Firefox to see my email....
Do you mean your hotmail won't open under IE10 or is that IE9? It seems IE10 is causing quite a few issues from what I am reading across various forums.
