In many cases, some users need to use the full features of the IE in their windows server especially if this main operating system for them like a SharePoint developer does not need to enter the login credentials many times in order to open a page. A short way to use all these features is to disable the Enhanced Security Configuration of IE. To do this, follow these simple steps: -   Open the Server Manager -    In the Server Summary > Security Information click Configure IE ESC (Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration) -  The Dialog will appear -  Now you can chose how the security configuration can be enabled, to the administrators which has to be you or other users on the server . Hope you found this helpful. Thanks Quraim
