Windows 10: Internet Explorer Crashing

@tiggeroz here is a copy of my mshtml.dll that is working(choose MSHTML.DLL tab:

Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.(unlinked now as purpose was served)

• Download it
• right click, open properties
• tick unblock-ok-save
• then navigate to your dll in system32, take ownership, and change the name to mshtml.old
• move my copy of the .dll to system32
• see if this helps, if yes you can delete mshtml.old, if not delete mine, and change .old to .dll

When you're done let me know please, so I can delete it from OneDrive to save space*Smile

 

Not looking good - I followed your instructions with the exception to the reference to "unblock" as I could not see that as an option anywhere. After renaming the original file and moving your one in, it proved impossible to open IE at all. Deleting your file and renaming the old one back again and it works OK but presumably still with the crash issue.

 

For taking ownership(not necessary now, as you were able to change .dll to .old without it) click the link in my last post with the words "take ownership".
I really don't know what else to try except opening an admin command prompt and running:

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&sfc/scannow&Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc/scannow&pause

 

OK - I did that and it found no violations! Looks like I'm buggered I'm afraid. Thanks for your advice anyway.

 

I have found that IE isn't working as well on Win10 since the last couple of rounds of cumulative updates.
I've been using Edge more & more anyhow, but there are just some sites where I prefer my beloved IE still*Biggrin
I'm starting to wonder if it has to do with some of the shared libraries. Yes Edge is "supposed" to be WinRT, but it still uses some system32 .dll's. *Huh So maybe there is a conflict somewhere, it wouldn't be the first time, and it would actually make sense.

 

Regrettably that sounds right. Well done Microsoft - another winner *cry. You never know, they might sort it out someday. Mind you, I'm only 50 so I probably won't live that long. Thanks again.

 

That makes 2 of us, you're welcome.

 

I have disabled Shockwave Flash Object and enabled Activex Filtering in order to stop IE crashes*Eek

 

Oh man!!! Is that the stock market?

 

*Roflmao2 It all started with Adobe Flash new version update.

 

Seems strange to me as I have no problems with IE11 at all. I have all the latest updates installed.

 

Different systems, Mike, different setups & different drivers and so on....*Biggrin
I have had stuff work, when everyone else had problems(for example Realtek sound drivers), and I have had stuff broken when everyone else's worked.

 

Good points Cliff, I used to have a few problems with IE11 few months back, but not lately, so I thought some of these MS updates might have addressed those problems. My only problem that IS driving me nuts is with Opencl.dll which IS a MS problem.

 

I envy you, however, all the best*Thumbs

 

Wow Mike your system can take any thing thrown at it*Eek or else your doing something right, you help the OP*Wink
