Are there compatibility issues between Unity Connection 8.5.1 and IE 11

Question

Just recently installed IE 11 and now when I log in to Unity and try to use one of the drop downs, like "edit" to edit a greeting or password or whatever it doesn't drop anything down. Can't get to any of the "edit" menu items. Do I have to drop back if I want to continue using internet explorer?

Hi Scott,
I didn't see any specific bugs related to IE11 but it is not
on the supported browser list for CUC 8.x so you may be out of luck;
