Manage Add On box in IE 10

11. You should take your time because you don't want to rush into something that will delete your data

You may want to backup your Favorites before doing anything else. In IE go to the File menu and select Import and Export. Choose to Export and follow the screens to create a bookmarks file.

Mockmonkey mentioned that there are two versions of IE in Win8 (I'm running Win7 and only used win8 for a week or two). Perhaps you are using a mobile type version of IE causing the problem. I'm not sure where the desktop version is found.

Then I think I would try the turning IE off then restarting then turning it back on and restarting. It keeps many settings but it may initialize some of the components. Control Panel>Programs and Features>hit the link for Turn Windows programs on/off. Then untick the box for IE10 and Apply. Restart. Turn it back on and restart. See if any difference.

Lastly, when you did the IE reset did you tick the box to remove personal settings/information. If not that may be an option. You would have your bookmarks/favorites backed up and could import them back later. It is up to you if you would also want to backup your history etc. before doing an IE reset. I'm only talking about an IE reset not a PC reset/refresh.
