Internet Explorer 10 Compatibility View

Something different then Microsoft System Center now. When starting Internet Explorer on Windows client or Windows server it's possible that web-portals and/or web-applications doesn't seem to work. I see that in my own work and sometimes at customer locations also. The solution for this is to start a Compatibility View. Not everyone seems to know how to start one, so therefore this short blogpost.

Just press F12 in any web-window to start a nice little bar with a lot of functionality. Within this bar the Browser Mode can be changed to Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9 and 10. In both my own work and at customer locations this did the trick to start web-portals and/or web-applications again. No need to use a different browser from now on. Hope it helps and have a nice weekend!
