Disable F12 Developer Tools

Original title: F12 Developer Tools.

I use windows 10..IE11

How do I disable F12 developer tools ('new tab'; 'select element' etc.) that appear sporadically

as pop-ups using ordinary websites??

I tried the Gear Icon in IE to disable them...all I get is a split screen between ordinary text and programming code

in the bottom half of the screen.
