File Explorer crash when opened from taskbar (never happened before)

Method 1.

You should be able to fix this problem by disabling DEP (Data Execution Prevention)

• Step 1.Log in computer with Administrator account to make sure you have fully administrative rights.
• Step 2. If your computer is running Windows XP, click "Start" button and select "Run". Windows 7 user can press Windows and R keys. Type sysdm.cpl in Run box and click OK.
• Step 3. You can see System Prosperities window from which you need to click Advanced tab and then Settings.
• Step 4. The "Performance Options" window will pop up and please click "Data Execution Protection" tab. Select the option "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" and click "Add" button.
• Step 5. Browse files from the Open applet and find the exe files of the software which causes the error code. Select it and click "Open" button.
• Step 6. Click "Apply" and "OK" to make changes take effect.

Method 2. Update Internet Explorer

 

Windows 10 opens multiple tabs when downloading BBC iPlayer

I've have downloaded the BBC iPlayer app, but when I try to download a TV programme, I just get lots and lots of new tabs opening and I have to shut down my computer to close them. I have 100s of tabs within less than a minute. Please help me in very, very easy steps as I am not very computer literate. Thanks.

 

Command line/tab

QUESTION/suggestion:
* Why not remember the last active tab?
For example, if you are on tab 2 and close the program, then run it again, for the program to open tab 2 again. But if the -tab X command-line option is used, then the program goes to X tab, regardless of last active tab.

Does that make sense?
