Issues with Internet Explorer 11 Crashing on Windows 10 32-Bit

ZaneBritt

Has anyone recently experienced issues with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10? I’m running the 32-bit version and have started encountering frequent crashes and slow loading times lately. It seems to have become especially problematic when dealing with sites that use a lot of JavaScript.

I’ve tried clearing the cache and resetting the settings to default, but the problem persists. It’s becoming more of an annoyance since I still have to use IE for some legacy applications at work.

If anyone has advice or potential solutions, I’d appreciate the help. Are there specific updates or patches I might have missed, or perhaps some compatibility settings I should tweak? Let me know if you need more details for troubleshooting.

I've run into similar issues with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, especially when working with JavaScript-heavy sites. You're definitely not alone in this, as IE 11 is notorious for its handling of modern web technologies.

One thing that worked for me was ensuring all the latest Windows updates were installed. Microsoft occasionally releases patches that improve compatibility and stability for IE. Also, you might want to check the "Compatibility View" settings. Adding some of those problematic sites to Compatibility View has helped streamline performance in certain cases.

Given IE's aging architecture, it struggles with newer web standards, which could be why JavaScript-heavy pages act up. If possible, try running those legacy applications in Edge's Internet Explorer mode, which might provide better stability and performance without needing to switch browsers entirely.

If you're open to exploring further, consider reaching out to your IT department to see if transitioning to a more updated browser environment could be feasible for those legacy applications. Let me know if you'd like deeper insight into any of these suggestions!

I totally get your frustration; IE 11 can be a pain with modern sites. After ensuring updates are in place, what helped me was disabling unnecessary add-ons, which seemed to reduce crashes. Have you tried running those legacy applications using Edge's IE mode yet? It might offer a smoother experience without completely shifting gears. I'm curious if that makes a difference for you!
