I am running IE 10.
I did something to it and now when I open IE the page will not fully load and the spinner/thinker symbol keeps spinning forever which prevents me from surfing and doing anything.
I am able to open InPrivate but then we cannot watch Netflix movies. I can get on ar15 through InPrivate only now...
Anyone know what happened and how a not very techie person can fix it?

This.

The only thing I know to do with IE is uninstall it.  Good luck.

Internet Explorer is the browser most often used to download and install other browsers.

Go into Control Panel and go back to the date when everything worked in System Restore. The same thing happened to my father in law's laptop and this fixed it. He is running Win7.

Yup.  I went Chrome and haven't looked back.  It blows IE out of the water.

I believe Microsoft released updates on 6/13.  Could be an update hosed you too.

I use IE for a few things, but Firefox is my primary browser.

OK guys, I appreciate it. I'll fix the IE and go Chrome. The GAHTF would never steer me wrong.

(You know, there used to be a time when Hippiewithguns would chime in on such a topic. Hope he is well. Guess the new arrival made him busy and he has checked out for awhile....)

I downloaded Chrome and Firefox but use Firefox all the time now.

I ran Firefox for years but Chrome uses a LOT less resources on my system than Firefox does. I prefer the more minimalist browsers. A lot depends on the system/OS as to how they'll run.
