    Why was internet explorer running on its own?


    So my laptop was heating up, and its fans produced a lot of sound, I cheked the task manager, and I saw that Interner Explorer was yaking up 30% of my CPU, on top of that, I havent launched Internet Explorer at the first place. Does anyone know the reason behind this?

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Why was internet explorer running on its own? wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

    Internet Explorer Pop-Up invisible in Desktop

    Thank you for the update, David. For further troubleshooting, we would like to know if Internet Explorer appears in Task Manager even without starting Internet Explorer or it appears and remains in Task Manager after opening and closing Internet Explorer?

    If after opening Internet Explorer and it appears and remains in the Task Manager, we suggest opening Internet Explorer without add-ons and see if the issue persists. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Right-click the Start button (lower-left corner) in Windows, and click
      Run.
    Alternatively, you can press the Windows logo key and the R key on your keyboard.

    • In the Run box, type iexplore.exe -extoff
      and press Enter.

    If doing the steps above eliminates the issue, then we suggest following this
    article     for you to be able to manage/disable add-ons that's causing the issue in Internet Explorer 11. Managing
    other versions are also available at the bottom of the article.

    We will be waiting for your update.
