Solution
Trouble
First check and confirm through Windows Updates that you have your most current installation completely up to date.
Then launch IE 11 desktop version and try launching the problem site, then strike the "Alt" key which should launch the toolbar menu. Go to tools-> compatibility view settings and add the URL of the problem site to the box and click add button.
See if that helps with the issue.

I've tried to use IE several times after getting my new computer.
As I've posted before, it can't show some web pages, for instance my Comcast Home Page, among others.

I get the message Internet Explorer needs to restart in compatibility mode.
When it does it can't load the page.

I had the same problem on my old computer also running Windows 8 so this isn't related to my specific computer, finally I just gave up on it.

I like Chrome, it sometimes gives me some problems but I haven't found any pages that it just can't open.

It may be a while, I've been using Windows 8 for almost 2 years and it's not fixed yet. LOL
