SSRS Report stucks at loading IE 11

Question

We are running SQL Server 2008 R2. All these reports were working fine until we upgraded IE from 10 to 11. Every time we run a report, it will just stuck at loading forever.

Tried changing the document mode to other versions.

Solution 1

Per the OP, add the site to Compatibility View.

It's also possible that the browser detection needs to be updated on the server side for .Net per this blog article. Basically, there's a hotfix for ASP.Net 4.0 and one for ASP.Net 3.5sp1 and ASP.net 2.0 that you need to apply. Alternatively, you can update to ASP.Net 4.5 which will also fix the 4.0 issue.

Solution 2

You might need to upgrade to your SQL server to Service Pack 2. There are several issues compatibility issues with ie10+ and SQL Server 2008R2 RTM.

@user3268139 Did the additional information about that browser detection issue help at all? (You'll need to remove that site from the compatibility list to see if it really worked.)

I installed this patch and it seemed to fix the issue, but then next day it was broken again :|
