scroll bar/slide bar disappears after a few seconds very anoying

I am using windows 7 Professional and this started with installation of IE11 and related updates and security updates on 5/13/14. It is only when I use IE11. Hope I will see an answer below.

Exactly!  I also find it maddening that the "helpers" answer the question with a question, asking for more information, before they can provide the answer.  How stupid are these help personnel any way?  Use your windows 8 computer for more than 10 minutes, man, and you won't have to ask us what we're talking about!

windows 8 sucks and is not worth the money to upgrade. typical of ALL engineers, who create new and "BETTER" operating systems whether it be an ignition switch [GM], an  8 speed automatic transmission { Jeep Cherokee} or some other part or piece of equipment as an upgrade, it should be remembered and impressed on engineers that tried and true are best left alone and stop screwing up what works . Microsoft really messed up here and aren't even trying to help their customers on the issues with windows 8. I'm finished with windows, good ridence

My scroll bar disappears also. I noticed it on the Sony AND T-Mobile websites while perusing cell phone offerings. I imagine it happens on other sites I haven't paid attention to yet.

I use Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 11. I didn't have this problem with previous versions of I.E., and I've been using Win 7 for several years now, so I doubt the problem originates from the OS.

BE HEARD - SUBMIT A SUGGESTION TO MICROSOFT at this link:

If everyone who reads this post trying to find a solution, let's MS know how frustrating this new "feature" is, maybe it will get some priority and get fixed. Or, MS will at least provide a setting so the user has the option to not have their scroll bar disappear.

BTW, MS must have included a way for a page's HTML to stop the disappearing scroll bar - notice it doesn't disappear on this site. Makes me wonder if they added this "feature" deliberately so people would accidentally click on an ad, and MS could charge the advertiser for the click-through. If I was an advertiser, I'd be upset that I was paying for unintentional clicks that are unlikely to result in a sale and very likely to result in the "visitor" having a negative experience associated with my site.
