Internet explorer developer tools keeps popping up

It's useful when using IE 11 Developer Tools :. I still would like to be able to get the debugger attached upfront, that is, besides being able to debug the popup window after a refresh I wanted to be able to debug the 1st load event of the popup, that is, the 1st time it is open - but I have not found a way of achieving this.

Ensure the developer tools are 'pinned' to this window. The developer tools window should open automatically alongside it.

If you know the actual URL of your popup, you can just paste that URL into a regular tab and treat it like a regular window instead of a popup for debugging. Only problem with that is that some things behave differently in Modal Dialogs, resize rendering is one of them.

The resize event seems to sometimes fire before the new width of elements have been calculated by the browser. So debugging in Modeless dialog is not always good enough. Remove From My Forums.

I must have hit something on my keyboard by accident, but as of this morning, every time I open a new window or tab, a new instance of the developer toolbar pops up in the background - can somebody help me turn this "feature" off?

IE - Tools - Manage Addons for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, this is no longer needed but Java still installs it and it causes issues - you ever update Java go back in and disable it again. Look for other possible problems. Windows Defender - Tools - Software Explorer - look for issues with programs that do not look right.
