Just for completeness: To test whether the compatibility mode is the cause for your issues at first hand, just disable them via the settings menu > Compatibility view settings.

To fix this in my case it is needed to switch of the compatibilitymode. This could be done manually per client, but this is not working if there are to many clients in network which are not central maintained.

To solve this you can either add the tag <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"> on every page. https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/1030600/Forcing-IE-to-Load-a-Web-Page-in-Edge-Document-Mod

or if you are Using IIS as frontend webserver you can add a custom header in IIS https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/httpprotocol/customheaders/

Therefore open IIS and navigate to the webpage (in my case Default Web Site) you want to have the header in. Open the response header configuration and add a new header with name X-UA-Compatible and value IE=Edge After this configuration every side is used without compatibility mode.
