Same issue coming for my login,But we tried it to resolve it by changing some setting in IE11 or other problematic browsers.

Not a solution, but a clue: We noticed similar behavior and tracked it down to requests to root/browserconfig.xml causing user to become unauthenticated. Server sent a new session cookie because Windows was not sending the existing one. Subsequent requests then sent the new session cookie value. We changed our server to look for this request and not set response cookies.
