Internet Explorer 11 "settings protection" pop-up
After a recent Windows Update that contained an IE11 update, our hundreds of public-use PCs (Windows 7 64bit) are showing this pop up when IE is launched.
Here is more information about this feature. Has anyone found a registry change or other fix to kill this annoying pop up?

TL;DR: People are not happy; cannot fix any other way but manually clicking the darned box; uninstalling the patch that causes this (KB3148198) helps temporarily, but a subsequent patch will make the dialog box reappear.

Microsoft REALLY did not think of anyone but the home user with this update.
