    Symptoms


    Assume that you have Internet Explorer 10 installed on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. When you upgrade the computer to Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, all search history data, form data, temporary Internet files, cookies, saved passwords, and other browser caches are lost.

    Cause


    This issue occurs for one of the following reasons:
    • The sector size of the Extensible Storage Engine API (ESENT) database between Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 is incompatible.
    • Certain indexes in the caches become invalid after you upgrade the operating system.

    Resolution

    1. Sign in to the computer by using an administrator user.
    2. Apply the update that is described in this article.
    3. Install the most recent cumulative security update for Internet Explorer. To do this, go to the following Microsoft website: http://update.microsoft.com

      This update was first included in the following security update:
      2829530 MS13-037: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer: May 14, 2013
    In this situation, all temporary Internet files and histories of other users on this computer persist correctly after the upgrade.
