This has been a serious issue with me. Oftentimes I will be doing something very important in a webpage and it freezes up (I leave my PC on 24/7 and try to restart at least once a day or so but it is unavoidable). I would gladly sit back and wait for the webpage to finish doing whatever it is but Internet Explorer steps in and closes the webpage, losing all my precious work.
A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab.
I am using Internet Explorer 11 and have had this issue for a while now. Is there any way to disable this, like a registry hack to change the wait time for webpages or something? Switching to Chrome or Firefox is not really an option for me.

In the comments on the post, I have advised trying to start Internet Explorer in No Add-ons Mode by entering in the Run command the following command:
iexplore.exe -extoff In this mode, apparently the crash does not happen, so we can assume that some add-on is responsible for this problem in this case. In the general case, it should be remarked that there are very many possible reasons for such a crash and that there is not one solution to fit them all.
You will now need to disable selectively add-ons until you find the one that is crashing. Once found, you could :
- Search for and install the latest version for the add-on
- Do without the add-on
- Search for an alternative add-on
