Ie 11

I upgraded my desktop to 1E11 ..and now it seems to freeze occasionally.Could that be the cause?If,so.how how can I get rid and revert to my prior IE.?

IE11 is a web browser, not a desktop. You can theoretically uninstall it by going to your computer's list of installed updates and removing the relevant one. That should automatically revert IE back to version 10.

However there are lots of web posts, across many forums, saying that method doesn't always work, leaving people unable to use any version of IE.

IE has always been pathetic software (which might explain why Microsoft seems about to abandon it altogether). Very few people around here use it, with Firefox probably being the most popular alternative:

Perhaps it's time to ditch IE altogether and switch to a decent browser?

Methyl..a few seconds...have to either close window or sometimes the Esc.key helps...a real pain.Having read the previous posts am unsure about doing what they suggest.
Would System Restore not do it...maybe?

System Restore should indeed (at least theoretically) get rid of the unwanted update but, if doing it the 'proper' way (i.e. by uninstalling the update) is known to cause problems, I suspect that using System Restore might do the same. (While I'm usually happy to try System Restore for most things I might hesitate in this situation and - if I've read his posts correctly - Methyl is definitely no great fan of using System Restore at all!).

Why not give Firefox a go? You can have as many browsers as you like on your computer, and even have them all open simultaneously if you want, without creating any conflicts. (i.e. installing Firefox won't remove Internet Explorer, or damage it in any way). If you don't like Firefox you can simply stop using it or uninstall it altogether, so you've got nothing to lose.

Are you prepared to give a different browser a try?

Internet Explorer was issued free by Microsoft to kill off (illegally) a much better product from a rival (Netscape Navigator) and was never any good. Firefox is far superior.
