Solved IE11 tabs slow loading

[ICIT2LOL]

For the last week opening tabs in IE11 have been getting slower and slower from just clicking on favourites, links to the forum to just a plain new Google tab.
The time it now takes to open the tab can be up to two minutes whereas this main laptop of mine usually flies - no problems with WLM or Docs pics etc.

Have run sfc and chckdsk no results (fix) malwares scans and apart fro a few PUP's nothing. Have reduced the add on's to a very bare minimum and yet still that new tab is so slow.

Any ideas please??

PS Should have added posting a reply to the forum is just as tedious

do you have another browser? if so, try loading a page on that and see if it is any faster or slower, this will tell us if it is a browser or wifi issue.

No Hacb I have always used IE after trying the others years ago.

Now I have thrown every malware scanner at the thing except for TDSS Killer and the Kaspersky rescue disk and nothing has come up.

The laptop that is sitting right next to this one is Googling and forum replies in an instant so I am not so sure it is a wifi problem but I can try Chrome I suppose and see what happens.

I have to go offline shortly to go to work but will keep you updated.

Thanks Hacb mate I installed Chrome just as experiment and it works fine really quite quick after I had my ISP on the line adjusting the speed it was going at (wifi broadband).

Am pretty sure that IE is broken by hwtaever and will tyr it on my other laptop too as it is very slow

Ok have Chrome on both machines now for some time and it is faster than it has ever been.

Just takes a little getting used to the different GUI but just goes to show thta IE is broken and I have a sneaking suspicion via an update of some sort.


But for the time being everything is running good.

Surprised you didn't choose Pale moon or Firefox :/
Watch Chrome it will suck up some juice to function kind of the triad off for speed now days

Oh you can add themes to get rid of the vanilla look but again that will pull even more resources.

Hmm just picked it cos it was in the ad for it in the defunct IE window and although I didn't think much of it in the past it certainly is quick.

The only concern is Google keeping tabs on you, and I suppose I could try Firefox. Mind you given what Microsoft is playing around at now one wonder s about them. I say that because hooking up to a link from my email to 7 forum was dreadfully slow - almost a minute - an eternity when one's waiting and yet the 10 forum link flashed up instantly:sarc:

What gave me the trots was IE breaking and all the time I spent on the phone to my ISP when in actual fact it was my machines.

Yep can't help with ie11 heck I'm still on ie10
But after this last round of security patches it is acting up a little no loading issues though :/

Bad thing about Firefox or Pale moon is it has no default page zoom setting to adjust and remember
There's a browser add-on I read about No Squint or similar that can do that basic thing that the browser settings do not do which is pretty lame imho.

I've used Chrome a long time ago but no more.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yep well I think I mentioned before I think the problem started after some updates which seem too me to be getting very devious as in they are trying to sneak 10 stuff in again.

Pity that M$ seems to be going down the toilet - well as far as I am concerned - makes you wonder what next after 10 some totally invasive and big brother system where you can't scratch yourself without being watched.

I did try Linux Mint some years back and maybe it is just me but the black cursor arrow put me off a bit bu at least the distros around now could be an alternative to Windows eh?

Personally the Ubuntu is not such a bad set up I use it for retrieving data from bad drives and dead ones and even ones where I have forgotten what the password - like that old Dell 386 powered machine I have if I wanted I couldn't get into it now - I keep it for sentimental reasons.

Mint mate 17...is viable,
I have yet to take Zorin for a spin yet
I've been so occupied with work and building and rebuilding my computers it's tough to find the time
Possibly this holiday season I'll get to play with Zorin and even see what 10 it like :/
But I'm sure nothing has changed except adding more stuff that can't be removed ?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yep I have that on a bootable USB stick as per Wolfgangs tutorial and I have booted i once and it looks really quite good. Trouble is lie you I have so little spare time these days to get into it because Windows post 7 is looking less and less attractive eh?

 

[ThrashZone]

7 is still very attractive to me
There is no substitute for it's interface and control
Windows updates is the only sticky part but I don't mind culling them I've been doing it for 4+- years so it routine now almost as easy as falling off a log

Luckily I really don't use all that many M$ services/ programs anymore Paint/ snipping tool/ Office 2007/ ie10 I could drop it today and not miss it all that much but I'm still working on Pale moon so far just the page zoom deal is my only grip otherwise it works very well.
