Internet Explorer 11 won't start
Hi guys.
I've search the forum but nothing useful shows or they were posted many months ago. There is a link to reinstall IE on here How to repair or reinstall Internet Explorer in Windows but when I run it, it says I have a newer version installed 11.0.9600.17344.
I mainly use IE11 all the time even though I have FireFox installed. IE11 has worked pretty good over the past 8 months (apart from the odd crash). I was using it yesterday no problem then I went out to visit friends and I turned the laptop off.
I came back and switched it and the keyboard wasn't working. I checked Device Manager and the keyboard had an exclamation mark by it. I told it to search for files in C:\Windows\System32\drivers but it still didn't work so I did a system restore and the keyboard came back.
Now IE11 won't start the screen flashes for a second then closes. If I go into C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe and keep it pressed it starts up loads of time in the taskbar, I let go and they all stop.
I've Reset IE in Internet Options and done a restart and I've run iexplore.exe -extoff but it still doesn't open. I've done a full Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan and it showed no problems.
This is posted in FireFox. All Windows updates are up to date. I've done SFC /scannow but still the same.
Any solution will be gratefully appreciated.
