Welcome to VF,

Try to open the IE without add-ons

Click the Start button , click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

To to search, type in turn windows features on and off. Then go to the screen

and uncheck IE. It will be deactivated, I doubt if you will have the problem of it giving

you trouble in the future.

Then go to search, and type default programs. Make sure that Chrome is shown.

Now you have two options.
