Internet Explorer App Crash Fix

Sadly, the latest versions of IE are suffering from the weakness of crashing while the user is surfing the internet.

The critics reported that Internet Explorer app crashes without any reason while the user tries to open a website or download something from the internet. To stop Internet Explorer app crash, you have to attempt the following steps:

1. Turn unnecessary extensions off

2. Correct the registry entries of IE

3. Reset the default settings

4. Disable third-party toolbars

5. Clear the Corrupted IE Cache Files

Turn Unnecessary Extensions Off

Extensions include the add-ons that you had installed for improving your internet experience. As default, only limited numbers of add-ons are installed.

However, while surfing on the internet, we sometimes install the third-party add-ons from a number of websites. Some of them if are incompatible with your system, or functioning improperly results in Internet Explorer app crash. Thus, you have to find such malfunctioning add-ons, and disable them.

1. Open Internet Explorer.

2. Click Tools | Manage Add-Ons.

3. Select All Add-Ons option from Show drop down box.

4. Disable the unwanted add-ons, and then click Close button.

5. Restart IE for the changes to take effects.

Correct the Registry Entries of IE

Internet Explorer app crashes by the bad and corrupted registry entries. Thus it is important to ensure the state of registry regularly and correct the inappropriate entries.

Two ways of repairing the registry:

1. Automatic Repair

2. Manual Repair

Automatic Repair

No need to have an expertise in the field of registry fixing if you are planning to use a registry cleaner software. Select a genuine registry cleaner software recommended by the worldwide experts and click System Cleaner | Start Scan.

Manual Repair

I do not recommend this option. Instead, I recommend using a registry cleaner software.

Registry repairing is not a simple task and may make your computer unstable if wrong modifications are done. If you have an expertise and proper knowledge of finding and repairing the registry junk, you can manually resolve this error.

1. Open Registry Editor, by clicking Start, then typing RegEdit and pressing ENTER.

2. There are mainly two registry hives where IE stores its configurations, viz:

i. HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet Explorer

ii. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SoftwareMicrosoftInternet Explorer

3. Navigate the two registry hives mentioned above, and resolve the problems automatically.

Reset the Default Settings

Sometimes Internet Explorer app crashes if it is not properly set-up. You shall restore it back to the default settings to resolve this problem.

1. Open Internet Explorer.

2. Click Tools | Internet Option | Advanced | Reset.

3. Check up the box named Delete personal settings, and then click Reset button.

Disable Third-Party Toolbars

Latest free software programs come with third-party toolbars for your web browsers. Most of them are unnecessary and create pain by making new problems. Internet Explorer app crashes if the installed toolbars are not properly working or taking so much time to load their controls.

I suggested disabling the third-party toolbars as below:

1. Open Internet Explorer.

2. Click View | Toolbars.

3. Uncheck the third-party toolbars.

Clear the Corrupted IE Cache Files

A web browser cache is a directory, or a folder having stored copies of the most recently visited websites for optimizing the internet performance. Internet Explorer app crashes by the corrupted cache contents.

You can clear the cache as mentioned below:

1. Install a third-party PC Optimizer product offering a built-in system cleaner included.

2. Mark the check box named Cache as checked from the Internet Explorer frame.

3. Click System Cleaner | Clean.
