Internet Explorer 11 has stopped working in windows 8.1.

Question

Every time I use Internet Explorer 11 it stops working. Then wants to shut down. It is getting more frequent.  Used to be a couple of websites but it is now all the time. 

Answer 1

Assuming Win8.1 64-bit...
Please answer each of the following [admittedly tedious] diagnostic questions in a correspondingly-numbered list in your very next reply, preferably
without quoting this post:
1a. When (approx. date) did you purchase the computer?
1b. Did the computer come with Win8 (or Win8.1) preinstalled, did you do a clean install of Win8 (or Win8.1), or did you upgrade a (e.g., Win7) computer to Win8?
1c. Assuming you started with Win8 => When (approx. date) was Win8.1 installed?
2. What is the full name of your currently-installed third-party anti-virus application or security suite (i.e.,
not Windows Defender!), if any, and when (approx. date) does your current subscription
(if any) expire?
3. What third-party anti-malware applications (i.e., not Windows Defender!) are installed, if any?  What third-party firewall, if any?
4. Has a(nother) Norton application or a McAfee application EVER been installed on the computer since you bought it?
5. Did a Norton free-trial or a McAfee free-trial [pick one] come preinstalled on the computer
when you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.)

9. Are you in the habit of using "Registry cleaners" (e.g., Registry Mechanic; System Mechanic; RegCure; RegClean Pro; Advanced SystemCare; Registry Booster; McAfee QuickClean; Glary Utilities; AVG PC TuneUp; Norton Registry Cleaner; PCTools
Optimiser; SpeedUpMyPC; PC Doctor; TuneUp Utilities; WinMaximizer; WinSweeper; Comodo System Cleaner; Advanced System Optimizer; CCleaner's
