  2. Unable to close Internet Explorer browser on Windows 10.

    Hi Erica,

    The above issue might occur due to missing or corrupted browser components on the computer.

    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

    • Does the issue persists on accessing a particular website on the browser?
    • Did you check if similar issue persists on using other browsers on the computer (Microsoft Edge, other)?
    • Do you get any error message or error code when the browser fails to close?

    Run Internet Explorer Performance troubleshooter by following the steps below and check if any of the browser component is missing or corrupted.

    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type troubleshooting and select the top most search result.
    • Click on View all from left side panel of the screen.
    • Select Internet Explorer Performance,
      click on Advanced option and check
      Apply repairs automatically
      option.
    • Follow the on screen instructions and wait for the troubleshooting to complete.
    • Check for the missing or corrupted browser components after the troubleshooting is complete and check if the issue is resolved.
    If the issue still persists then I suggest you to try clearing cookies and check if that helps. Refer the below link:

    Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of Internet Explorer not closing on the computer in the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

    Thank you.

      checkbox beside Enable Protected
