IE11 on Windows 7 64-bit not remembering cookies, not showing a path - Microsoft Community

i using ie11 on windows 7, 64 bit toshiba laptop. morning ie stopped working , slow. yesterday fine. i’ve found loads of similar issues on internet no solutions have worked far. chrome working fine.

the first problem browsing. every website visit asks cookie policy, ones have answered. if accept cookies, close browser , open again , navigate same page, still asked again. happens on every website visit, seems cookies not being stored or recorded anywhere?

the next problem if click link webpage open new tab, blank page on new tab. on nat geo members sign in page trying load, got flashed message saying should turn off private browsing in safari if want log in, don’t have safari installed.

then there problem ie settings. in menu tools – internet options – general – settings – temporary internet files, shows disk space use zero, , allow me set 8mb. current location greyed out – there nothing there. can select move files , choose folder: user – app data – local – microsoft – windows (where temporary internet folder appears be), , shows, when close , reopen ie both these setting reset 0 , blank again.

next history tab on explorer favourites sidebar: there no files listed anywhere in browsing history, if go many pages, close , reopen ie, doesn’t record them under history – view order visited today. favourites folder luckily intact. , when open brand new tab there no longer active boxes listed under frequent. greyed out.

also, worryingly, there no system restore points on computer anymore. there used - , unable download in ie (i can in chrome).

suggested fixes i’ve tried:

·        checking enhanced protection mode disabled (it is)

·        sfc/scannow (no problems)

·        microsoft security scanner (no issues)

·        turned ie off on again in windows features (no change)

·        deleted registry key “hkcu\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\internetsettings\5.0\cache\extensible cache” recreated on restart (no change)

·        made new temporary internet files folder in explorer , deleted old 1 in "c:\users\(username)\appdata\local\microsoft\windows" (no change)

·        turned ie11 off, restarted, turned on again (no change)

·        tried download new version of ie11 says have newer version installed can’t install it.

can please me – went wrong @ same time guess it's connected somehow. settings or have malware or something? or profile corrupt? haven't downloaded recently. above things have tried have neither made better or worse.
