Having trouble with your IE9 installation? Let’s dive into troubleshooting and repairing the issues.
Repairing Internet Explorer on Windows
If you’re experiencing issues with Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) on your Windows computer, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to repair the installation.
First, try resetting Internet Explorer settings by going to the “Internet Options” menu in the Control Panel. Click on the “Advanced” tab and then click on the “Reset” button. This will restore IE9 to its default settings.
If that doesn’t fix the issue, you can try running the System File Checker tool to repair any corrupted system files. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type “sfc /scannow” and press Enter. This will scan and replace any corrupted files.
Another option is to check for Windows updates. Sometimes, updating your operating system can fix compatibility issues with IE9. Go to the Control Panel and click on “Windows Update” to check for any available updates.
If all else fails, you may need to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer 9. To do this, go to the Control Panel and click on “Programs and Features.” Look for Internet Explorer 9 in the list of installed programs, right-click on it, and select “Uninstall.” Then, visit the Microsoft website to download and reinstall IE9.
