IE reloads page when opening F12 developer tools

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 :)

How do I debug F12 in IE?

You can do this with the keyboard using the F12 key or by selecting “F12 Developer Tools” in the “Tools” menu. The Developer Tools will now be open inside the browser tab, and the DOM Explorer tab will be active. Change to the Console tab by clicking its name.

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.
