"Manage Add Ons" Window opens up spasmodically

[grreatpop]

"Manage Add Ons" Window opens up spasmodically in IE 9. I have Win 7 64 bit on Toshiba laptop

Can anyone help?

Okay,
You can click on the Choose add-ons popup to be directed to the page to see which one or ones that are activating the popup,
Click on Disable and Uninstall a re-install the add-ons in question,
The default setting to activate the popup is 0.20 seconds which is generous because any given add-on should only take 0.02 to function properly anything more than the default setting is not a good sign and should be fixed by the above method,
Post any findings about which ones are defective.

I'm probably a bit dense here - are you talking about the "Manage Add Ons" window? I've tried disabling various add ons without sucess. Could you clarify a bit?

Thanks

I was referring to the Speed up browsing popup message/ My Bad,

Okay you must be referring to this page is popping up,

No. there is a different window that I cannot copy and make an attachment of. I'd like to know I can get to the window you are showing.

Open Internet explorer, Use Alt+TA or
Gear symbol on the top right and click on Manage add-ons,
Click on Show on the left/ middle and select All.
Use the windows snipping tool,

Here is the window I have. Also, the Show button is grayed so cannot be clicked.

I have the snipped pic in a file not on a web page - how do I attach that to you?

Here it is.

This is the preferred, best way to upload an image to a post.

You may also upload a photo or image as you would a file, without using the Snipping tool.

Thanks for the enlightenment!

Interesting picture of the add-ons page,
Point your mouse cruiser on the bottom line of the Horizontal scroll bar and see if it turn into a double arrow,
If and once it does left click hold on it and drag it down so you can see more items on the list,
But for the most part see if you can do this,

I can open the window to show more but not more than I could see by scrolling. I have already gone through the reset process except for the last part which I am willing to do so again. however I did notice that the instructions seemed to be referring to ie 10 and I am using 9. I had 10 but uninstalled the update when I had the present problem. Would you recommend going back to 10 and then doing the reset?

I appreciate your taking so much time to give me assistance.

The process is the same for ie9,
ie10 ?
There really isn't much difference in the two,
Sometimes using ie10 if you have a page that doesn't look right you can use the F12 key to open Developer tools and click on Browser mode and switch in or out of Compatibility view I've found ie10 works better in ie10 mode,
But on some videos the controls don't function well if at all so I switch to Comp-view and everything works fine,
You can also switch Document modes to.
Both ie9 and 10 are sensitive to Bad add-ons so you really need to test a bit before you give up and uninstall.
If you ever need assistance you can always return and there are plenty of ie10 users here,
Always post a link to the site your having issues with so we might be able to test.
If you can muster the time go to Uninstall a program and take screen shots of the list/ this will tell us exactly what toolbars.... you have installed which helps tremendously in troubleshooting issues.

OK . I've upgraded to v 10 and went thru the reset and followed the steps but the window at the bottom about the add ons never appeared so I couldn't "Don't Disable ". Now I'll see whether the "Manage Add Ons" Window continues to open up spasmodically

You must have forgotten to Check the box to Delete personal settings ?

Plus after you open Internet explore for the first time after reset the popup will say Add-ons are ready to be Enabled/ You would click on Don't Enable.

 

[grreatpop]

You're right - I missed that. thanks again for all you help.

No problem it's a common miss and I'm not sure why it's not checked by default :banghead:
