Hello,

For some reason my IE 10 on Windows 8 has become almost unusable.

It crashes & is really slow.

I did scans for viruses & stuff.None found.

So, I am using Chrome to post this & it works good.
:)

I even restored to factory default (Full Install) & that didn't help.

Hence the change to using Chrome.

Just thought I would share this.

Have just gotten over similar problem on win 7 64 bit - that began TODAY - is the shockwave addon - someone not playing nice after updates - try disabling it via manage addons. is not win 8 but may be the culprit ...

Tried it.
Didn't help.
Maybe new Windows Updates will help.
