@tiggeroz here is a copy of my mshtml.dll that is working(choose MSHTML.DLL tab:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.(unlinked now as purpose was served)
- Download it
- right click, open properties
- tick unblock-ok-save
- then navigate to your dll in system32, take ownership, and change the name to mshtml.old
- move my copy of the .dll to system32
- see if this helps, if yes you can delete mshtml.old, if not delete mine, and change .old to .dll
When you're done let me know please, so I can delete it from OneDrive to save space:)

Not looking good - I followed your instructions with the exception to the reference to "unblock" as I could not see that as an option anywhere. After renaming the original file and moving your one in, it proved impossible to open IE at all. Deleting your file and renaming the old one back again and it works OK but presumably still with the crash issue.
For taking ownership(not necessary now, as you were able to change .dll to .old without it) click the link in my last post with the words "take ownership".
I really don't know what else to try except opening an admin command prompt and running:
Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&sfc/scannow&Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc/scannow&pause
OK - I did that and it found no violations! Looks like I'm buggered I'm afraid. Thanks for your advice anyway.
I have found that IE isn't working as well on Win10 since the last couple of rounds of cumulative updates.
I've been using Edge more & more anyhow, but there are just some sites where I prefer my beloved IE still
I'm starting to wonder if it has to do with some of the shared libraries. Yes Edge is "supposed" to be WinRT, but it still uses some system32 .dll's.So maybe there is a conflict somewhere, it wouldn't be the first time, and it would actually make sense.
Regrettably that sounds right. Well done Microsoft - another winner. You never know, they might sort it out someday. Mind you, I'm only 50 so I probably won't live that long. Thanks again.
