Cannot find any elements using Internet Explorer 11 and Selenium (any version) and IEWebDriver (any version) : <p>I've searched all over for an answer and I can't find any fix to my issue. I am trying to run my Selenium tests in IE11. All other browsers work fine (including Edge). A simple test as follows will cause the issue...</p>

<pre><code>System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver.loglevel","TRACE");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver.logfile", "C:/Projects/logme.txt");
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("http:www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).click;
</code></pre>

<p>IE11 will launch and navigate to a URL but it cannot find any elements anywhere on any page. Again, I'm aware people have had this issue but no suggestions have fixed my problem. This is the error i get back every time: </p>

<pre><code>org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to find element with id == lst-ib (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

<p>Here is what I've tried/done...</p>

<ol>
<li>Set Enabled Protected Mode to disabled for all zones</li>
<li>Set Allow Scripting option on the advanced tab or IE options</li>
<li>Tried every IEDriver capability known to man e.g. setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IE_ENSURE_CLEAN_SESSION,true);</li>
<li>Tried IE11 32 and 64bit</li>
<li>Attempted to find an element by, class, tagname and all the rest of the locators to no avail.</li>
<li>Added the 2 registry keys BFCACHE for both 32 and 64bit instances of IE</li>
<li>Cried a lot</li>
</ol>

<p>Below is the attached logs and I've located where the code falls over. It seems to be security related but JavaScript is enabled and I don't know where else to look...</p>
