So what are the potential workarounds to avoid this?  There are three options available:

Option 1

• Use an Explicit Path (include main.aspx in the URL.):
  • http://crmorg.crm.domain.com/main.aspx

OR

• https://crmorg.crm.domain.com/main.aspx

Option 2

• Use the IE Developer Tools to set the browser mode to IE10.
  • Browse to your CRM UR
  • Hit F12 ke
  • Select the “Emulation” setting
  • Set the “User agent string” to “Internet Explorer 10
  • Browse back to the CRM URL

Option 3

Use Chrome or Firefox.  This options require the CRM 2011 environment be upgraded to UR12 or above. Upgrading to UR12 or above requires validating that custom functionality works correctly in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
