How to fix Windows 8 Internet Explorer open then closes

Are you trying to open Windows 8 Internet Explorer and it opens and then closes right away? Do you have network and email access but Internet Explorer won’t open correctly? I went through many sites and no one had an answer that solved the issue.

Thankfully I found out a way how to solve the problem of internet explorer won’t stay open. To fix it you will need to do a couple of things:

At the Start Screen just start typing “Internet Options”. A window will open up. Go to Advanced and click on “Restore advanced Settings” and “Reset…” button in that order. Make sure to ensure EVERYTHING gets reset.

Once you have cleaned things up you will need to go back to the start screen. Type “Programs and Features”. It may be under “Settings” filter in Windows 8. On the Left hand side there is a link that has a shiel labeled “Turn Windows Features on or off”. Click it and another window will open. You will now remove the check box besides Internet Explorer. It will say IE10 for Win8 and IE11 for Win8.1.

This will prompt you to restart the computer. Do so. It will make changes to the OS to remove Internet Explorer. Please wait and don’t turn off the machine. When the machine reboots go back to the same window that you removed Internet Explorer from and put a check box back in. Once done hit “OK” and you will need to restart your machine once more. When you boot up the machine test Internet Explorer. It should now open properly!

Hopefully this will help you solve your “Internet Explorer Opening and then Closing right away” error!
