Hi Tansy,

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

I understand that you want to disable the open Internet Explorer at startup option.

Method 1
Step 1: I suggest to start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

Step 2: If the problem is solved in SafeMode with networking, then I suggest to perform clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

Note: Follow step 3 of section of boot KB929135 to reset the computer in normal mode.

Method 2
I suggest you run virus scan online by using the Microsoft safety scanner.

Note: when you do an antivirus online, you will lose data that are affected by the virus. Microsoft is not responsible for the loss of this data.
