SharePoint 2013 and Internet Explorer 11

Issues with SharePoint 2013 and Internet Explorer 11

So if you are one of few that are using IE11 and SharePoint 2013 you have probably noticed many corruptions and misbehaves in UI. So far I have discovered the following problems:

  1. Calendar web part is extremely corrupted
  2. You will click Settings > Edit Page, Pages will not enter edit mode.
  3. Web Part Properties cannot be modified.

So until we get official CU or SP from SharePoint team, run your sites in compatibility mode.

How to run Compatibility mode: Please find the ways to get the mode.

Way 1:

  1. Press ALT + T when viewing your SharePoint page
  2. Click Compatibility View Settings in the menu that appears
  3. Click Add to add the current SharePoint site to your list of compatibility view pages
  4. Click Close

Note: I resolved the issue by above Method. If you find a different solution, please report it as a comment to this post. This will be useful to SharePoint Community. Be sure to double-verify it: undo your solution and verify that the problem comes back, then redo it and verify that the problem goes away.
