It looks like it was a Microsoft boo boo after all. Per this link

Guys, if you want to use the new internet engine - called Trident - which will be used in Spartan you can type "about:flags" in IE11 and enable the "Experimental web platform features".

This new engine is already faster than the one originally in IE11, but you might experience some hickups as it is an experimental feature.

Wow, cool.
When I did this the first thing IE thought was that I wasn't using IE.

Huh, interested in seeing how solid this is. My Start Button completely failed earlier today so I threw up my hands and went back to 8.1. Kind of buggy for a daily driver at this point.

My Start Button has also quit working, this is all I get now:

Seems my start button is now functioning after a restart. The 1/22/15 system update has installed twice a day since I installed the W10 preview on Sat.

Anyone else getting this update to install repeatedly? After the restart a notification says 'Update Successful'

Could it be because I am using the January '15 display drivers?

SP3 i7 btw.

Hi ScottyS,

Thanks for the tip what did you set the custom user agent to at the top of the page enable or disable, can't say I notice much difference

 

[ScottyS]

Thank @RémiM for the tip.
At first I enabled Custom User Agent, now am trying it with it disabled.
I don't know what"Enter a user agent string" means or where to enter it.
Looks like it has something to do with telling the web site what browser it is (maybe that's why I got the "Using Chrome?" on Bing.com.

Anyone having issues with the SP3 not waking up on this build? I have to long press the power button to shut it down and restart. Wasn't happening on 8.1.

Something in the power settings perhaps?

Yes it is the display drivers trying to go back to stock.

One huge plus W10 has going for it is the font smoothing engine they are using. Even in Office 2013 apps fonts look great, unlike in 8.1 where they were a bit pixelated even on our excellent screen. Really awful on a desktop screen.

Seem like videos playing via the browser are crashing again, tried reverting out little browser mod back to normal but the video crashing was the same.
Did that update change the video drivers back
*****Update****

Yes it did, reinstalled the video drives and all was fine again,
This seem like a major issue IE crashing you would think they would have sorted it fairly soon
