Some of the settings that I always use to prevent issues like these are:

Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab:
Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering selected.

Tools Internet Options, General Tab, Browsing History section, Settings button:
Website Data Settings, Temporary Internet Files tab:
Check for newer versions of stored pages set to: Every time I visit the webpage

Microsoft is notorious for resetting these two settings every time a security update to IE is applied.
