The specific scenario is that when you start on Google's web page, and go to a link of some sort, it can trigger this bug when you click back to return to google.
This is fairly well documented on some forums, in that it has been like this for a while, and Google seems unwilling, or unable, to modify their code to not trigger this bug. I do not consider it a IE11 bug as much as I consider it a problem with Google. Microsoft should of course fix their issue, but also you would think that Google might take this seriously.
To trigger the issue, Go to google.com and search for something that takes you to a Microsoft page. Example: "Exchange edge server". Click on the first link and then click on any link on that Microsoft page. Then click back twice. The first "back" will work fine because it takes you to the original Microsoft page. Now click Back again. IE will eventually display (Not responding) on the status line, and you will need to force a closure of the browser.
I do not know of any workaround, other than to always open any link on the Google web page with a right-click and "Open new tab", or even easier is to use another browse such as Firefox.
Before anyone flames me, I did do all of the standard things such as:
- Start Internet Explorer with no Plugings (iexplorer.exe -extoff)
- Remove and Re-install IE 11
(http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/internet-explorer/install-ie#ie=ie-11)
(IE 11 will automatically uninstall upon reboot if the feature is unchecked in Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2) - Investigate the Patch for IE11 for Windows 8.1 (won't install on my machine)
