On two Windows 7 and a Windows 8 computer, all up to date, when I press F12 in Internet Explorer it launches the debugger, says (Not Responding), and then leaves artifacts on the screen until I restart the computer. This has been going on for a couple months.

Here is an example:

I know several other people who are experiencing the same problem on different machines.

Apparently this is the best Microsoft can do. Is there any way to prevent F12 developer tools from instantly crashing and leaving artifacts behind on your screen?

  • I don't have the problem. (Plain install of IE11 on Win7 64.) What browser addins do you have installed? I can start IE11 and toggle dev tools on and off with F12 repeatedly with no issues. Tested on two separate machines. – Ken White Jan 25 '14 at 17:58
  • No add ins on any of my computers. It doesn't always happen instantly. Sometimes you have to click around. But sometimes it does happen instantly. – user1873073 Jan 25 '14 at 17:59
  • This is actively happening on a coworkers pc. His network profile becomes corrupt and the IT staff have to come rebuild his profile. Has been reproduced at least 3 times. – Taersious Apr 01 '14 at 17:04
  • I have the same issue with Internet Explorer 11 installed on a clean Windows 10 64bit pro edition. No addons... very annoying. – Gabe Hiemstra May 22 '17 at 07:36
