View Full Version : IE11 on W8.1

I'm finding my experience with IE11 to be a very poor one. Firstly when using google you, to get back to the search results you need to hit the back button twice!

Worse than this are the zoom issues. Reading around I've seen people have had zoom issues with W8.1 in general, while the OS is attempting to be smart and adapting text size accross different monitors and managing to make itself look very messy while doing so. I have a Lenovo Yoga, so just a single screen and my issue is slightly different. When using the browser, either in full screen mode or desktop mode, it has the default zoom set at 125%. Meaning when you ctrl+0 it reverts to 125% instead of 100%. It's very unpleasant - the webpages are not crisp when zoomed in in this manner, and I don't have any visual impairments so I really don't need it.

I've searched high and low for a way to set 100% zoom as the default, but I just can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know if this option exists?
I've done everything from setting text size to small in control panel and turning off automatic DPI adjustment, but nothing has worked.

Although it's a nice idea to make webpages fit the screen snugly, the resolutions of the images that make up the webpages just aren't high enough and it ends up a right mess. Microsoft what were you thinking?!

I would really recommend against using IE11

the alternatives are just miles ahead

Control Panel > Display > "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays." > Select 100%

It's our party we can do what we want to. And I actually prefer IE, and the full screen mode on W8 worked brilliantly until they upgraded it to ****** IE11. IE10 was perfect imo.

I've already tried this.
