If you’re using IE11, there are a few ways to keep your tabs and address bar visible. The first is to use the “tabs” and “address bar” features of IE11. To do this, open the “Options” menu and select “Tabs.” Then, select the tab you want to keep visible (in our case, the tab for our website). Finally, select the “show address bar” checkbox. The second way to keep your tabs and address bar visible is by using the “toolbars.” To do this, open the “Options” menu and select “Toolbars.” Then, select the tab you want to keep visible (in our case, the tab for our website). Finally, select the “show address bar” checkbox.


Windows 8.1 brings us Internet Explorer 11. To maximize screen real estate, they decided to hide your open tabs and address bar by default. Here is how to get them showing.
