What can prevent IE10 from accepting multiple file uploads

I am running IE10, and attemping to enable multiple file uploads from a single html input.

I have gone back to absolute basics, and used example code from w3schoools to test the functionality.

If I go here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_multiple and click browse, I am able to select multiple files.

If I copy all of the code and paste into an empty html document on my internal webserver, and navigate to that page, I can not select multiple files.

Is there some IE security setting that can prevent this ability based on site zone or security etc? Or perhaps a setting within Apache 2.2.4 that disables this?

EDIT: I have just tested the same code locally with chrome, and it works fine, so assume it is not my web server, but some setting in IE10.

As already mentioned by the OP, the issue at hand is most likely a (mis-configured) X-UA-Compatible meta-tag.

I suggest to remove the X-UA-Compatible tag altogether these days, except for very specific edge cases.

I have successfully "enabled" multi-file upload for a legacy application this way. More details:
