Q: Internet Explorer 11 Freezing/crashing This thread is locked from future replies
Having issues with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 Anniversary, when I use it IE 11 keeps freezing, sometimes it becomes unresponsive even if it hasn't crashed and other times I have to open task manager to force it to close. I never had any problems with IE 11 before the terrible Anniversary update.
What can I do? And no I down right refuse to use Edge, Chrome and FireFox I hate all three of them especially Chrome and they're so ugly.
Microsoft Windows
Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.51)

If that doesn't work try this.
Turn on the Software Rendering Mode
•Launch Internet Explorer 11, open tools menu by pressing Alt + X then go to the Internet Options box -> Navigate to the Advanced tab
•In the Settings -> Accelerated graphics -> Mark Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering option.
•After it save the settings by clicking OK and Reboot your computer.If that fixes the problem then you are using an oudated graphics driver.
