Major problems with Robohelp 2020 not displaying TOC, Index, and Search information

I just upgraded to robohelp 2020 and having major problems with the product not displaying my help correctly. The upgrade went smoothly, and when I first display the output the TOC displays. However, the index and search does not work. When I go back to the TOC after going to the index, now the TOC no longer displays. Any ideas?  Could this be an IE problem? IE is the default browser here so it has to work for IE.

thanks to all that  respond

    I'm not saying it isn't an IE problem, simply wanting to prove it in this instance.

     

    Please answer my questions as I need that information to confirm what I think might be the problem.

    This is definitely an IE problem. I was able to use my chrome browser and the help is working fine. I had this same problem initially with RH 2019 until I got an update from Adobe. So it looks like I and my coworker needs this again.

    Using About RoboHelp, it gives the same issues in IE as your project correct?

     

    I understand you need IE but try both projects in another browser such as Edge and/or Firefox.

     

    Which output are you generating?

    Let's establish whether it is a project problem or an environment problem.

     

    Generate the supplied About RoboHelp sample project. Does that work OK?

    I can generate without errors. It is when I view that there's a problem.
