Few weeks ago I have installed Office 2013 in my office Win7. Since then, whenever I click on a document in SPS 2010, it’s open TWICE!
I was very annoyed because when I had Office 2010, I didn’t have this problem.
After some search, I found that I’m not alone because some people have a similar problem with SPS 2013.
After some intensive tests, I have found out the cause of the problem: IE 10 which is implicitly in64bit!
Let me be clear, if I have the following combination, I have the “doubly open” problem:
Win7 Pro 64bit + OS domain joined + Office 2013 64bit + IE 9 or 10 64bit
If I have the following combination, I have NO such problem:
Win7 Pro 64bit + OS domain joined + Office 2013 64bit + IE 9 32bit
I have no idea if other combinations would lead or avoid my problem. If anyone is interested to narrow down the combination, he’s welcome to do so :)
The current solution is to downgrade IE 10 to IE 9 in order to have IE in 32bit. There is no solution if one has to keep IE 10. Hope this post of mine could help others in the same situation of me and hope Microsoft developers quickly fix the bug.
