msn.com is not responding

[gonna buy apple]

Hello,

About 3 weeks ago W10 updated automatically. Afterwards I frequently get a frozen webpage followed by a pop-up at the bottom of the screen saying: "(name of webpage that I happen to be viewing) is not responding" and there is a control button in the lower right hand corner that says: recover web page. When I click on this button, a pop-up occurs in the middle of the screen that says: Windows is searching for a solution to the problem, suddenly this pop-up disappears and the page appears to reload and starts working. This occurs on msn.com as well as other pages. I know you may say well the problem solves itself. BUT it happens over and over and over wasting my precious time. I am too old to allow crappy software to waste what time I have left. This problem did not exist prior to that update. Using: HP Pavilion with IE 11.103.10586.0 update 11.0.28(KB3134814)
on Comcast Arris Wi-Fi modem.

I too have experienced the same problem with Internet Explorer on some webpages.
I suspect that it may have something to do with the composition of the page and bits of its' component parts, maybe ads and such.
I've all but resigned myself to using Chrome and or Firefox for viewing some of these sites, hoping that at some point either they will change or I.E. will actually fix itself.

I log in to reply to Noob and guess what message popped up. Yep, windows10forums.com is not responding. It is sad when W10, IE, msn.com, and windows10forums.com do not co-operate with each other. I trust Google and Firefox even less than MSN. Don't hold your breath Noob.

I have not experienced the problem (so far) but it certainly seems to be occurring with users..
A couple of things you might try, which has been successful with many.
1. Right click the start button and, in the run box, type services.msc. Scroll down the list to DNS Client. It should be running and on "Automatic". If not the latter, double click and change it to automatic.
2. Are you running a third party Antivirus, by chance? If so temporarily disable it, and see if the problem has gone away.
3. Sometimes the proxy settings are interfered with by programs or other encounters on the web. You could try clearing these also. This, as you can see, relates to IE, but the IE settings are closely interacting (wrongly, imo) with Edge.
1. Again, right click the Start and click the Control Panel
1.Open Internet Options- Connections- LAN Settings
2.Uncheck, if not already, "Use a Proxy server for your LAN ,and click "ok".
3.Restart your Browser

That cured a lot of the problem some members have been having with internet explorer

I can honestly say that I have never received that specific error message when accessing this site. The only problem I've ever had with this site is when I've been able to confirm that the hosting service was actually experiencing a problem as was briefly down, for some reason or other and that has been extremely rare.
My issue seems to be with sites that have a fare amount of Ads. I don't know if they are flash or swf (also flash), or silverlight holdouts, or html5 or what they are.
IF I were having the problem randomly with simple (no ads / no flash content) sites, then I would start with resetting I.E. back to factory defaults and I'd probably run the native System File Checker for good measure and maybe flush my DNS cache also.

davehc,

I got the "W10forums not responding..." again.

Opened per your instructions all items set as you suggested, no changes necessary. No third party A-V. When I did my W10 upgrade, Norton was removed in the process.

I have this silly idea that when updates are sent that they should be tested for compatibility before being sent and not require users to spend hours upon hours trying to solve poorly designed software. To rub salt in the wounds no customer support is available except public forums where a person might "get lucky."

Thanks for your suggestions.

hTcone,

I get automatic updates and I did receive an update last week. Don't know the exact number but it is probably the one you mention.

tick, tick, tick, the clock continues...I have wasted enough time today.

Thanks and good night to all.
