Answer 1

Make sure you have update your Windows.
In case you installed any add-ons or extensions try to disable them.
If the problem persist, check on Clean Boot:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd
In case the issue not reproduced, then enable services one by one and see which one causing the problem.

Answer 2

@Tom Paes
Hi,
Have you tried running IE in safe mode to see if it will load?
Fault Module Name:ActiveSD.dll
Activeds.dll is a module that contains functions and object methods, or COM components, for the Active Directory Services Interfaces (ADSI) API.
If activeds.dll gives you error, system process issues are mainly a result of conflicting applications running on your PC. Consider uninstalling any applications you are not using. Then reboot your computer.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd
Also, try safe mode run: iexplore -extoff
Then Disable the extensions one at a time to discover which one is the problem.
Hope above information can help you.

Answer 3

the dll looks like 3rd party software:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SOFTPRO\Shared\ActiveSD.dll
so perhaps the crashes stop when you uninstall it.

btw.: I hope you are not surfing internet while you have a no longer supported Java Plugin installed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\
or your system is probably already infected by malware.
Support for Java 7 ended years ago.

Answer 4

There error code indicated that there was an unhandled exception during a user callback.

Consider upgrading Windows 10 from 1803 > 21H1

If there were upgrade failures they may be able to be troubleshooted.
