Debugger not working in IE 11 F12 developer tools

My F12 debugger in IE 11 is not working, it is just showing an empty window. Only the Network tab seems to work.

We have been using Firefox until recently, environment changes have forced development to use IE.

I've tried it on multiple pages and none are working.

Solution

  • If you use Windows 7, apparently you need to install an update to get the dev tool to work, I found this out after looking around a bunch online:

    For 32 bit system: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=45134

    For 64 bit system: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=45154

    This is what finally fixed it for me. If you use Windows 10, see @guest-helper's answer below.
