I am finding the same problem with IE11 on IIS.

There was an official MS patch for IE10, but, they seem to have only fixed it for that explicit version, rather than for future (and, kind of expected) revisions of the browser.

Scott Hanselman provided a local project for IE10, and perhaps he will update it for IE11.

Here is a link to the patch for IE10 in .NET/IIS

The NuGet package for IE 10

Regarding the comment about not needing to use the .browsers file, I totally agree, however, this issue is (I believe) an issue with IIS/.NET 4

<browsers>

    <browser id="IE11" parentID="Mozilla">
        <identification>
            <userAgent match="Trident\/7.0; rv:(?'version'(?'major'\d+)(\.(?'minor'\d+)?)(?'letters'\w*))(?'extra'[^)]*)" />
            <userAgent nonMatch="IEMobile" />
        </identification>
        <capture>
            <userAgent match="Trident/(?'layoutVersion'\d+)" />
        </capture>
        <capabilities>
            <capability name="browser" value="IE" />
            <capability name="layoutEngine" value="Trident" />
            <capability name="layoutEngineVersion" value="${layoutVersion}" />
            <capability name="extra" value="${extra}" />

    <browser id="IE110" parentID="IE11">
        <identification>

            <capability name="vbscript" value="true" />
        </capabilities>
    </browser>

</browsers>

and it worked for me. Based on answer by Sistemas-infoe on this question: doPostback failing in IE 11+ Windows 8.1
