I have noticed that with every windows update IE becomes less and less stable and lest functional. I’ve started using Chrome a lot more trying to make the switch before I’m forced to do it all at once. Lol

I sure hope that there are enough people with the expertise left on this list that might be prepared to help me with a rather vexing issue. To name the issue first. I can no longer get WE to take any input from the keyboard, at least as it relates to using browse mode. I can no longer move from header to header for example, or for that matter, even set bookmarks. I mean, WE has just gone nearly completely dead when using IE11. But now for the rest of the story. I recently experienced an computer access issue after updating my HP Pavilion computer through the Support Assist feature. My theory on that is that the newer BIOS was not compatible with Windows 10, as strange as that might sound. This apparently been an issue among HP users, and especially Pavilion users. These desktop computers use an AMD CPU, and the thinking is that AMD and MS aren't communicating with each other very well lately. Anyway, I plan to call my Geek Squad people back today to see if they can't clarify just what might have happened. As it is, The Geeks left me with an 1803 build, Where as before I was up to 1903, but at this point, I don't dare to update to 1909 fearing that the same issue might arise. Now back to WE. I have reinstalled, and fiddled around with things in the control panel, but to no avail. The thing is, it works with both Chromium Edge (latest stable build) as well as Thunderbird, as both will allow the use of WE in browse mode, but not IE. If someone could please give me any pointers, it would be greatly appreciated. Oh yes, as a post script, IE is still important to me because apparently Edge is still not able to work with DAISY text books from Bookshare. I have to say that this thing really kinda creeps me out. IE is practically a dead zone. OK, Enough of the drama, any help again would really be appreciated.
