Some users cannot send emails using IE11 and Gmail

Windows 8.1 Preview is currently installed on quite a lot of computers, so it’s no wonder that users find more and more bugs.

This time, it all comes down to Gmail and Internet Explorer 11, as a post published on Microsoft’s community forums reveal that some consumers cannot access Google’s mail service after deploying Windows 8.1 Preview.

“Every time I send an email or try to do anything in Gmail, I get an ‘IE not working’ message and been asked to close the program. I click ‘close,’ but the page is ‘recovered’ and reloads. If I try to do the same thing again, it keeps giving me the same message,” one user wrote.

It’s not yet confirmed, but it appears that one of the updates released by Microsoft in the last couple of weeks fixes the issue, so all Windows 8.1 Preview adopters are recommended to deploy all patches as soon as possible.
