Recently I installed IE 11(previously IE 9) on my DEV Windows 7 machine. Whenever I press or open the F12 Developer tools, it reloads the page. Is there anyway to stop this behavior?

Thanks in advance :)

If you go to the Emulation tool do you have any settings set? When F12 is opened with a persisted emulation setting such as document mode it has to reload that page to apply the setting. You can clear any settings with the 'Reset Emulation settings' you can also turn off the behavior by disabling 'Persist Emulation settings' within IE Developer Tools.
