IE 11 Internet Security Zone Protected Mode Problem

Question

Hi All
We have a couple of random issues using IE 11 and was wondering if someone could shed a little light on it.
I think it boils down to an issue of the running of java but it's hard to pinpoint.
An example of the issue is present the below Technet article, it has expansion arrows on the left of the text that allow you to expand and collapse articles, this work in older version on IE and also other browsers, however in IE 11 they do not work until
you uncheck protected mode from the Internet Security Zone:

If left checked these not work, this issue manifests itself in various different ways depending on the site but the above is the clearest example. Scripting of Java applets is enabled as part of the default Medium-High setting.

Hi,
regardless, click the "Reset all zones to default" button... by default only sites in the RESTRICTED zone will have ActiveScripting (javascript) disabled.
I would expect it to be in the Internet zone... Are you MSFT? Intranet sites are usually detected automatically. It is uncommon to have a public access website listed in your Intranet zone sites list. If so please contact your system administrators.
or check if its in your list or applied by your network administrators.
Internet Options>Security tab, Local Intranet zone button, Sites button, Advanced... If its in your list, remove it... if its not in your list consult your system administrators....(it is not visible to you if they (the system administrators) have placed
it there.
Commonly....sites like TechNet or MSDN may be added to the TRUSTED sites lists.. On server versions of IE, Microsoft.com is placed in the TRUSTED sites list... Server versions of windows have a higher security, and MS.com is placed in the
On private computers there is little need to place sites in any security zone.... they will map automatically to the internet zone. Placing sites in the Trusted zone actually DECREASES the site security... hence you have to TRUST them first before putting
them into a lower security zone.
