Happy New Year!
Well today, I've been working on this ASUS laptop for a friend of a friend. It originally had issues with the Windows Store and downloading apps, but I easily fixed that.
Now the problem I have is with IE 10 on the Desktop. It does not work. What happens is when it opens, the error prompt of Internet Explorer has stopped working. It looks for a solution, then says to close the program and notify you if a solution is found.
What I've done is pretty much everything in the book, STD scans with Windows Defender and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013, disabled EVERY add-on, reset IE settings, cleared out the temp files locally in Windows and within IE, sfc /scannow several times, gone and killed out any third party add-on extensions (one from Intel), just everything. I'm trying to do a refresh or even a reset at this point with Windows, but EVERY time I do so it just restarts and says it encountered a problem or it just doesn't go through. This is being done on the administrator account. I've also went a made a separate user account and checked it, still the same. I've also gone into Programs and Features to disable IE, restart, re-enable, and restart Windows. Nope.
I also went and booted Windows into Safe Mode with Networking, surprisingly that worked. IE 10 on the Desktop had no troubles.
IE immersive has no issues whatsoever.
I'm thinking some program is obviously screwing things up since it worked fine in Safe Mode. I'm wanting to reset or refresh Windows as that would just be best and easiest. But that's not working correctly either for some reason.
Any help appreciated!
