Using Windows 8.1 with Internet Explorer 11, EMET 5.2 causes Internet Explorer to crash just by navigating to a website. I'm using 'Recommended Security' settings in EMET, with the default 'Popular Software' protection profile.
1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Either go to a website such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/ or alternatively just open IE and wait for 30 seconds without doing anything
3) Browser crashes and says 'Internet Explorer has stopped working'
4) Error reporting shows the following:
Faulting application name: iexplore.exe, version: 11.0.9600.17416, time stamp: 0x5452fe91

5) Disabling ALL mitigations for Internet Explorer in the EMET 'Applications List' doesn't solve the issue. Internet Explorer has to be completely removed from the EMET 'Applications List' in order to prevent it from crashing.
6) Problem occurs regardless of whether Internet Explorer is running in 'Enable Enhanced Protected Mode' with 'Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode' or not.
7) Needed to uninstall EMET 5.2 and go back to 5.1
