Internet Explorer 11

[DanID]

Internet Explorer does a sign in loop. If I go to Yahoo Mail and click on an external link in an email, it opens a new tab with the link and then goes back to Yahoo Mail. I am noticing other sites keep looping back to the page I am clicking the links from. This only happens on Windows 7, but not on 10. Thanks!!

I just checked, it does this sign-in loop on 2 different 7 machines!

Hi DanID,

Are the machines up to date regarding Windows Updates?

What links do you click on and does it matter what kind of email it is, e.g. an email with a link to download software, to verify your email or to see an order you made.

What you describe sounds a bit like a download link, but knowing little about the situation I can only speculate.

thank you, Yes, both machines are completely updated to present. It happens when I click any external link in an email in yahoo mail. eg. link to log into my insurance company, bank etc.

Have you tried checking with MBAM/adwcleaner to rule out any potential malware activity?

I fired up IE 11 on my 32 bit Win 7 desktop computer and signed into yahoo email. I clicked on external links in several emails and a new tab opened. IE is slow but eventually the new tab showed the contents of the site in the link I clicked on.
So I'm unable to reproduce your issue.

I'll fire up my 64 bit Win 7 laptop later and test it.

thanks plodr after you open the link in a new tab, then log into that site like I do with my insurance company, it tries to log in then eventually goes back to Yahoo Mail ,, I just found out that Yahoo Mail is NOT does not support Internet Explorer anymore. I switched browsers. Thank you!

Good to know because when I tried on my 64 bit computer, after I logged in, all I saw was a blank screen. I tried several times and got no where.

I rarely use IE. In fact, the only time I fire it up is to test for others. I'll make a note that Yahoo doesn't support IE so if I see any one else with a problem, I'll tell him/her to use a different browser.

plodr, I run a small computer business in my retirement and I am surprised at how many people still use Internet Explorer and Edge, they are slow and susceptible to malware. I have used Internet Explorer myself when accessing multiple Yahoo Mail accounts, as when IE Frame Merging is turned off, IE windows are isolated from each other, I finally started using private windows in other browsers to do that. IE is also such a laggard browser, but I have to admit it's a little bit better in Windows 10 verses Windows 7, but I suggest to just stay off of it! Thanks for your responses and help! :)

It works here.

Internet Explorer is my favorite because of the Windows sounds.

But I have Chrome and FFox installed too - and do use them at times.
