Any specific reason about disabling EPM on IE/desktop by default on windows 8.1 in this update? :( the EPM had the (positive) side effect of disabling legacy ActiveX controls, which means the CardSpace flaw didn't affect win8.1 by default, and win8.1 users would have been protected against future 0day flaws in legacy ActiveX controls when EPM is enabled.Anonymous

So I had another issue last night with the cookies disappearing and losing my session and login (and auto-complete) information. I was using Facebook, and I'm set to "stay logged in". I closed the window, and then some time later (about half an hour) I opened a new tab and went to facebook... and was prompted to log in again. It then prompted me whether I wanted it to remember my password (which it should have had recorded). There was no auto-complete for the fields. It was like I was hitting this page for the very first time. I wasn't aware of any pages crashing, and I didn't exist IE11 Desktop at any point in time. This sort of thing seems to be happening more and more often... more frequent in IE10 than IE9, and noticeably more frequent since updating to IE11. And it's getting to be exceedingly annoying. It happens on any number of sites. Suddenly it just forgets that I've ever visited the site before, passwords are forgotten, auto-fill form entries are forgotten, the works. I really hope this is a top priority to fix in an update, because it's just beyond frustrating and annoying.Anonymous

How can I turn the automatic zoom adjust in IE 11 on Windows 8.1 (with two screens and different resolutions) off? This feature is so painfully annoying (and crappily implemented), I just can't find the right words to describe it. Who specs features like that?Anonymous

Anyone know what's going on here? Since updating my Surface Pro to Windows 8.1 and IE11, all YouTube videos just show black when I click play. The sound is fine, and if I set it to run full screen, it plays fine, but if it's embedded in a page, it's just blank. Any clues on how to fix this? It feels like a video driver thing (and I've had other symptoms that seem video driver related... flashing of the screen sometimes (like the driver reset), and some weird rendering artifacts on some pages (like vertical lines on Twitter.com that come and go). Is this a known issue? It's a Microsoft Surface device, so I'd expect it to work flawlessly...Anonymous

Microsoft, please do the world a favor give up development of IE. For years, it has stifled advancement of web development. If you insist on having a Microsoft branded browser in your operating system, there are plenty of far superior open source (gasp!) alternatives for rendering, JS, etc.
