Throughout history, there have been a million reasons why Internet Explorer won’t start: You click on the icon in the taskbar, and nothing happens. Thanks to some stellar sleuthing by @PKCano on AskWoody, it now appears that there’s an identifiable cause for some of the failures. If you’ve recently installed any of the Win 7 or 8.1 Monthly Rollups from September onward and you can’t get IE to start, check your icon font size. Yes, you read that right.
Earlier this week I received an email from reader JB:
Have you heard of or seen an issue with Internet Explorer 11 crashing when the cumulative update for the Win 7 OS KB4048957 is installed? (not the IE patch mind you – the OS cumulative patch. Weird right?)
