Open in Windows Explorer not available after IE10 update

Problem:
The “Open with Windows Explorer” feature for a library no longer works on your SharePoint site

Cause:
We usually put the company SharePoint site in the Intranet Zone.
For some bizarre reason, MSFT decided that in IE10 they are going to force Compatibility View on all sites in this zone.



Solution:
In IE, go to Tools> Compatibility View settings:
1. Remove any sites in there that you don’t want in there
2. Uncheck Display intranet sites in Compatibility View


3. I prefer to uncheck that last interesting one, as I would rather MSFT did not decide what list of sites should be placed here for me.
