Bug: WinRT IE ... only assists and prompts for any Java indirection to legacy IE the first time a webpage with Java is visited.

... after that ... WinRT IE will never assist you again with Java and send you to legacy IE. The pages will just fail in IE.

BTW I did not override the checkbox - but kept it set to get prompted (for that particular site). However, WinRT IE keeps failing Java assists for any sites with Java - even pages I have not visited before?

Bug report because I quickly tested this as answer to this question on Win8: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/217c6b32-f208-4dcb-ba2e-2b61683f5426/how-can-i-get-java-to-work-in-metro-internet-explorer-

... because I had just installed Windows 8.1. So interested if a bug was still there in WinRT/Metro IE.
