Some add-ons are necessary for Internet Explorer and your PC to work correctly. Under Show, select All add-ons and then select the add-on you want to turn off. It's a good idea to delete add-ons if you suspect they're causing performance, compatibility, or security problems.

You can also remove add-ons that you're no longer using from your PC. You can turn off specific add-ons to help increase your browsing speed, or if you suspect they're causing problems for Internet Explorer. Select the add-on, Enable, and then select Close.Īdd-ons can sometimes cause browsers to run slowly and crash, or they might pose a security or compatibility risk. Open Internet Explorer, select the Tools button, and then select Manage add-ons. Some add-ons come pre-installed by other apps or your PC's manufacturer.

If you're missing an add-on that you need to view a page, Internet Explorer will let you know, and will prompt you to install the add-on. Note: In Windows RT, add-ons aren't supported by either Internet Explorer or Internet Explorer for the desktop.
