I developped an asp web site and it has been working fine for the last 4 years. It is a local web site installed on about ~200 Windows Servers (2008 and 2008 R2). Recently IE10 was added to the Windows Update so all servers downloaded the update. Now
when they access the page IE keeps crashing. I don't believe it is a configuration problem with the servers since it is not specific to 1 machine (about 200 servers, my own Windows 7 dev machine as well as the tech support computers).
Since the web site didn't change recently and it is working fine on IE6, 7, 8 and 9 as well as Chrome and Firefox, I doubt the issue is with the asp web site itself.
I tried it on my dev machine so I could start the debugger and it is an access violation in IE10. Obviously any web site, even if there was a bug, should not make a browser crash.
From what I can see, it seems that problem occurs on pages that have an update panel that is refreshed every 5 seconds (but maybe it is not the source of the crash). They are local web sites (with private information) so they are not public. It is a major
issue to us because we have to revert to IE9 on all ~200 servers and it is impossible to revert to IE9 on all the computers that access the servers since we have no control over them.
