IE 11 loads but does not work - everything appears disabled

I recently installed windows 8.1 along with that came IE 11. (8.1 is excellent)

However when I load IE11 it opens up - not frozen - but everything appears disabled. 

Under tools the only enabled menu items are: file, safety and compatibility settings, everything else is disabled - I cannot even go to internet options.

If I click the home button, then nothing happens.

If I type in a URL - nothing happens (note: I am connected to the internet and browse with Chrome, actually it is Chrome that I must use to submit this post right now).

I am the administrator of my PC (this is a personal laptop). I uninstalled and re-installed IE11 under windows features with no success - twice.

Not sure what to really do next - normally I would not care about IE because there are so many different versions and they all render differently. Not to mention the fact that IE is set to load intranet sites in compatibility mode (who thought that bright idea up?)  Anyway.. if it were not for that I am a developer and I am forced to test that my sites are compatible with it - IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11 and must expect each one to show differently (seriously - do you guys at MS plan it that way to put us through so much pain or did it just happen by mistake?)

Please help make my IE not be a dumb zombie. I am happy to supply you with whatever info you need - screenshots, version info etc.

Frustrated by IE.
