Internet Explorer 11 stopped working (on Windows 8.1)

I am using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 and it has stopped working in the sense that it does not open anything except a white page and most of the settings are greyed out. Early this morning it started doing this for new tabs, I decided to restart my PC and now it is like this. I have tried disabling and then reeanbling in Windows features to no avail. Any ideas?

EDIT: Here is a screenshot

Solution 1:

For me the same symptoms were caused by leaving Developer Tools console open when closing Internet Explorer (after fixing the problem I tried and succeeded in recreating the problem, by leaving it open again).

The fix for this situation:

1. open Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)
2. open Developer Console
3. close Developer Console
4. quit browser

Solution 2:

I have the same problem. I got IE to work only with the iexplore.exe -extoff command.

But I don't understand why it does not load anything. Chrome and Firefox both work, but not IE... I reset the options (using the mentionned command to enable the menu items first), I deleted all the cache and history... Nothing helps!

Solution 3:

it worked perfectly to fix my white screen:

Before reset IE , kill IE process in task manger(End task IE process)

after click on reset you must see "Delete personal settings" box check the box

Try an Internet Explorer reset.

Click on Start » Run and type inetcpl.cpl to open Internet Options. Under the advanced tap is a reset button.

This may not be the issue, but it's worth a shot. I would also disable any and all firewall and/or AV software that may be installed.
