Fix Performance & Safety issues in Internet Explorer using these Troubleshooters

While the Microsoft Edge Chromium version replaces Internet Explorer, ten years old, there is a reason why Microsoft still keeps IE active. In addition to business users, many users, especially those who migrated from Windows 7, still use it as a browser. Windows 10 provides built-in troubleshooters for troubleshooting Internet Explorer performance and security issues.

Internet Explorer Performance & Safety Troubleshooters

To use both Internet Explorer Performance and Security Troubleshooters:

1. Open the runtime prompt with Win + R, type Control Panel, and then press the Enter key.
2. This will open the classic control panel.
3. Click on View and change it to large icons.
4. Select Troubleshoot, then click to open, and then click to view all the troubleshooting built into Windows 10.
5. Scroll to find convenience stores related to IE
   • Performance of Internet Explorer
   • Internet Explorer Security
6. Double-click to execute them one by one.

When running one of them, the convenience stores are designed to also apply the fix. For example, when you launch one, click Advanced and clear the Apply repairs automatically check box. Once the verification is complete, a list of problems and the steps to be taken to solve it will be presented to you.

Also be sure to run the program by clicking the Run As Administrator link. He will find more problems and will solve them too.

Troubleshoot the performance of Internet Explorer

Here is what happened when I ran the Internet Explorer Performance Troubleshooter with administrator privileges. He verified the following:

• Disk space allowed for temporary Internet files is not optimized
• The caching policy setting for temporary Internet files is not optimized
• Add-ons cause the shutdown of Internet Explorer
• The number of simultaneous connections allowed on a server has changed

The one that caused the problem was the temporary disk space of Internet files. It was neither too big nor too small for it to work properly. When you click on the link in advance, you get a complete list of performance checks. Click Next to automatically resolve the problem.

This is a security-related troubleshooting and verifies the following. It checks the pop-up blocker, zone settings, Internet options, and so on. Usually, it will propose to restore IE by default if there is nothing major. Since many users use add-ons with IE, if they find a module that might pose a security problem, they will ask you to disable it. He verifies:

• If the default IE security settings have been changed
• If SmartScreen is disabled
• If the pop-up blocker is disabled.

Although it's not easy for Microsoft to continue supporting these old browsers for so long, I'm really happy they are. The availability of Internet Explorer troubleshooters in Windows 10 is useful for those who are still migrating their application for a modern browser.
