IE not working on Windows 10

[SpeedMattersNot]

So, I have been using Windows 10 ever since Chrome wouldn't allow me to watch Sky Go. Out of the blue, IE will now not even open on my Windows 10 laptop. I have tried Googling for the symptoms but nothing it that obvious...

It just opens a dialog box up stating "internet explorer has stopped working; a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".

Any help appreciated!

...on top of this, I have just tried to open Steam and it has said something about my system doesn't support 'Alpha Blending' so it won't open. I am assuming these are related?

Win10 has a frustrating habit of random things not working when updates have been applied and the system hasn't restarted. Have you tried rebooting?

Having seen this thread, I've also tried to access SkyGo from my laptop using IE and also can't get it now.
What is particularly annoying is with SkyGo you can only register a new device each month. A couple of weeks ago after the Windows10 update I had to re-register my laptop which had previously been fine watching SkyGo ( I use it for watching F1 live when it's not live on Channel 4).

I discovered the same problem yesterday and assumed it was due to slow download speed because of the update. That is now complete but having checked I cannot get SKY Go.

Do I need to reregister the laptop?

Thanks

Probably. I get the message that I've used this months quota of having 2 devices registered and I'll have to upgrade to SkyGo extra to manage more!
Beware, that if you re-register and it goes wrong for some reason, you're not able to access SkyGo for the same reasons I can't.
