IE11 Document mode defaults to IE7. How to reset?

My Internet Explorer 11 on my Windows 8.1 Surface tablet defaults to document mode 7, causing a lot of websites to render wrongly.

When I open the Developer tools, it states that it defaults to document mode 7 because of Intranet-compatibility settings.

However, I haven't changed these settings manually and I'm browsing Internetpages!

I tried to reset the Internet Explorer settings without any luck.

Any ideas?

By default, IE displays webpages in the Intranet zone in compatibility view. To change this:

  • Press Alt to display the IE menu.
  • Choose Tools | Compatibility View settings
  • Remove the checkmark next to Display intranet sites in Compatibility View.
  • Choose Close.

At this point, IE should rely on the webpage itself (or any relevant group policies) to determine the compatibility settings for your Intranet webpages.

Note that certain sites may no longer function correctly after making this change. You can use the same dialog box to add specific sites to enable compatibility view when needed.

If you are a developer, this is what you need to do:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>     <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
