Hi there
After clicking on the stupid EU browser choice question my whole computer went into Lock up state -- had to kill IE via task manager.
Removed the Browser choice "thingy" -- but then IE10 would only work in Metro mode until I found the old short cut and parameters for starting IE in "Classic mode".
OK fixed
but every time I do a Windows update the stupid update re-installs the Browser choice question.
I've learned better ==>just delete the thing before running it --but it is a PAIN - especially if IE is already installed.
(I'm running TechNet W8 Enterprise RTM x-64 --probably the US version not the UK / European version (of W8) --not sure if there are different versions but I'm sure it WAS the US version as all defaults at install time were US).
If you are presented with the Browser choice and you have already installed IE you could experience what I had.
I hope anyway to re-install W8 again from scratch after official release as I'm sure a whole slew of fixes will have been prepared by then.
Cheers
