IE11 - Changing encoding in browser throws Authentication Failed

For some of our eBusiness users who generate report in languages other then English, by default it used to open in UTF-8 or Western European, and there Chinese or Japanese characters used not be visible.

For IE8 they used to change encoding from View> Encoding > Japanese/Chinese etc.
But IE 11 onward it started failing with error Authentication Failed.

Solution:

Go to Tools > Internet Options
In General Tab open Settings.


In Website Data Settings > Temporary Internet Files > Check for newer versions of stored pages:


Change the setting to Never, and press OK.

And now encoding can be changed locally as many times as desired.
