Developer tools crashing IE9

Question

I have a problem on a website with IE9 which requires me to open the developer tools in that browser. That is when my real problem occurs as IE9 simply crashes and reports the following error:

Problem signature:

  Additional Information 4: 7bb73118f9bbd17fcc14066196aedb9d

I also get the error with the following code:

Exception Code: c000041d

IE9 kindly restarts without any dev tools to help me.

Any idea what might cause this ?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Reset and fixing did not solve it. On the other hand, a complete uninstall-reinstall procedure using the corresponding windows update did the trick.

Thanks for the suggestion Marc!

Reset Internet Explorer settings and check if that fixes the issue.

Run the “Fix it” from the following article:
