HI
I'm having problems with internet explorer opening when I wake my computer from sleep. It opens with some Bing items usually on travel and things like that. I don't use IE I use chrome and it opening when it's not wanted it driving me crazy. Can somebody tell me how to stop it?
Thank you
Sanda
Hey Sanda,
Give this a try ...
Open Regedit (winkey+r > type in regedit > click OK)
Navigate to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet
In the right panel double click on EnableActiveProbing and set it to 0 then click OK
Close Regedit
Reboot PC
thank you, I just tried that but unfortunately it didn't work. Should I have restarted the computer to make it work?
Install or Uninstall Internet Explorer in Windows 10
Check above link to disable IE.
thank you. I will turn it off. The registry thing did not work
I really thought that turning it off would solve the problem but today its back to IE with Bing opening up when I wake the computer
Malwarebytes | AdwCleaner

System Restore Windows 10
Reset Windows 10
Have you reset IE ? (Settings(gear icon, upper right)Internet Options/Advanced/Reset) Is IE mistakently set to be your default browser ? (Settings (lower left corner, gear icon) Apps/Default Apps)
Did you run a scan with your AV ? Also, run Malwarebytes which is good for identifying pups (unwanted programs) which could effect the browser. And adwcleaner which also identifies browser issues.
Also, you may consider a System Restore to a point before the issue. And at last resort, reset Win10.
Lot of homework for you ! :) Let us know the result.
