Tom,

I can't be much help here, except to say that I have kind of, sort of 
seen the same thing.  In my case, these windows disappear  almost 
immediately, although the notification window sometimes needs me to hit 
the escape key.  This all became more pronounced  a week or 2 ago when 
this Windows 7  computer did an update to IE 11.  No other problems with 
the new browser version and  those windows popping up are not a big deal 
here.

I always keep the Firefox browser updated on the pc, since there are 
sometimes  sites that don't work as  well with IE as I would like.

73, Steve KW3A
