These updates also come with a known issues. Microsoft acknowledged that after installing one of these patches, Internet Explorer 10 may have authentication issues.

As the Redmond giant explains, this problem occurs when two or more people use the same user account for multiple, concurrent login sessions on the same machine.

When this happens, you may experience one of the following issues: cache size and location show zero or empty,keyboard shortcuts may not workproperly,webpages may intermittently fail to loador render correctly, credential prompts will keep on popping and you won’t be able todownloadfiles from the internet.

In order to avoid this problem in the first place, the best solution is to simply use different user accounts for each user.
