Problem with IE10 when opening multiple browser screens.

[HHawk]

Okay, I have a problem with IE10 for ages now.

For my work I have to open a lot of browser instances. I am using mainly IE10 and Firefox.
Every time, when I have a several browsers and tabs open in IE, it regulary happens that the next browserscreen I open turns to a blank page.

This only happens in IE. For example I have opened about 8 IE browsers along with several tabs in each of them. Then when I open a new browser instance of IE or even a tab, it will show an empty page.

Sure; my first guess would be that it is a memory problem, however I have sufficient memory (16 GB RAM) and it doesn't affect Firefox. I already tried increasing IE's cache size, but this also didn't do anything.

I really have no idea. The only solution in this case, is to close several IE windows, however it's not really a solution. And yes I checked my memory usage and mostly it's only 1/3 used according to task-managers. Also I am not using any kind of add-ons for IE.

I have been experiencing this problem for as long as I can remember. It happened in IE9 and it also is happening in IE10. Of course I can always start to use Firefox only, or another browser like Chrome, however I would prefer to keep using IE along with FF.

Probably this isn't fixable, but I am just wondering, because today it happened for the XXXXX-time now and to be honest I am getting tired of it. Of course I could have understand this problem IF my memory was full, but this is not the case...

And I run CCleaner on regular basis.

Anyone has an idea or even a solution?

The issue you are facing with Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) can be frustrating, especially when you need to work with multiple browser instances simultaneously. Here are a few troubleshooting steps and solutions you can try to address the problem of blank pages appearing when opening new browser instances or tabs in IE10:

Troubleshooting Steps and Solutions:​

1. Compatibility Mode:
   • Ensure that IE10 is not running in compatibility mode for any specific website. Compatibility mode can sometimes cause issues with how pages are displayed.
   []Reset IE Settings:
   • Reset IE settings to default to eliminate any customized settings that might be causing the issue. You can do this by going to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset.
   []Check for Windows Updates:
   • Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date, as updates can include fixes for known browser issues.
   []Hardware Acceleration:
   • Disable hardware acceleration in IE10. This can be done by going to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Accelerated graphics and unchecking the option.
   []Software Conflict:
   • Check for any conflicting software that might be causing the issue. Sometimes security software or other applications can interfere with browser functionality.
   []Check Event Viewer:
   • Use the Event Viewer in Windows to look for any specific error messages related to IE that might provide more insight into the problem.
   []Use a Different User Profile:
   • Create a new user profile on your computer and see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is related to your current user profile settings.
   []Run IE10 without Add-ons:
   • Launch IE10 in "No Add-ons" mode to see if any add-ons are causing the problem. You can do this by searching for Internet Explorer in the Start menu and selecting the option to run without add-ons.
   []Update IE10:
   • Ensure that you have the latest updates for IE10 installed. Sometimes outdated versions can have compatibility issues with newer websites and services.
2. System File Checker:
   • Run the System File Checker tool to scan and restore corrupted system files that might be affecting IE.

     Notes:​

     • It's commendable that you are keeping your system clean with CCleaner, but the issue may not be related to temporary files.
     • IE10 is an older browser and may have compatibility issues with modern websites and services. Consider using alternative browsers like Firefox or Chrome for a more stable browsing experience.
     These steps should help in troubleshooting the blank page issue in IE10. If the problem persists, you may need to consider transitioning to a more up-to-date browser like Firefox or Chrome for improved performance and compatibility.
