IE11 Missing

For some reason I cannot get to the internet from the desktop with
IE11. I was on the internet when suddenly the screen show empty. My
email works and I get to the internet from the Windows 8 metro location
but when I click on IE11 I get the address but nothing but a white text
area. I can also down load a new version of Itunes.

Any ideas what happened?

IE has gone into OFFline mode?
"File", near the bottom of the list "Work in offline mode".

In windows 8 there is a function called Airplane mode, It is very easy
to accidentally activate. You can change it back, in the Network
"Charm" Since I work elusively from the desk top you can also access it
from the network Icon in the task bar.

Sometimes elusively is the best way. ;-)

Did you mean to say Flight Mode?


I'm not Keith, but if he doesn't mind my butting in, I'll confirm that
it's called "airplane mode."

Dunno about W8 or even W8-one, but there is definitely an "Airplane
Mode" on my Kobo E-book Reader. Does that help any?

Not sure why I have got this one:

Perhaps we talking about two different things altogether? That's the
beauty of these newsgroups

OK, then, tell us what *you* are talking about :-)

I already know what the others are referring to.

I was talking about "Flight Mode". I don't have "Airplane Mode" on my
Windows 8.1 Toshiba laptop.

Have you got it? United Kingdom versions of Windows 8/8.1 must be
different.

So it looks like the versions of Windows 8/8.1 for European Market are
different from the ones you get in US. I got my picture using exactly
the same way as the article you quoted here got it.

Quite bizarre.

Guess so. I have airplane mode but this video has flight mode.

I have been away for a few days so am just seeing the responses.I tried
the suggestions with no luck. In desperation I returned to a system
restore of a week ago and when the system rebooted every thing was OK.
I do a full backup every Saturday morning and an incremental one each
night. Backup has saved me again.

Thanks for all the responses.

I don't know whether it's UK or Toshiba, but your post somewhere else in
this thread indicates to me that Fight Mode is a synonym for Airplane
mode, so all is resolved (at least for me).

Thanks, and bon voyage :-)

You are very likely right. That hadn't occurred to me.

Microsoft has again confused a lot of people with their nomenclature.
There is no reason why the US and UK versions should be different for
this.
