Windows – Win7 x64 IE10 “Open in new Tab” results in blank page

64-bitinternet-explorer-10windows 7

OK, one of my users has a very perplexing issue. When you middle click on any link, in any website, or if a website tries to open a new window (that opens in a new tab) the user is presented with a blank tab. IE10 will not load any page in that tab, unless you type the URL manually, then suddenly it's fine.

  1. It's not an addon – running without addons does not improve the saturation
  2. It's not a corruption with the user profile, it happens with the other profiles on that PC
  3. It's not a setting in IE10 that gets reset with "Reset all IE10 settings"
  4. It's not a corrupt file that gets checked with SFC or when I remove and then re-install IE10 from Add Remove Programs (Windows components)
  5. It's not the pop-up blocker
  6. It's not SmartScreen
  7. It's not Flash or Java
  8. I very very much doubt it's the A/V – there's no IE plugin and there are dozens of clients running the same A/V
  9. It's not compatibility mode (happens with or without it)
  10. It's not an individual site, it can be reproduced on every site.
  11. It isn't improved when I change that registry key that defines if a Tab opens as a Thread or a Process

Has anyone got any ideas of what it is??

Registering ieproxy.dll fixed the problem for me, run:

regsvr32 "c:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll"
