Dynamics AX 2012 R2 software upgrade checklist can't expand on windows server 2012

After we upgrade the AX 2012 R2 into a new CU we need to do the sofware checklist update inside AX as a routine after installing the hotfix or CU. If we open the client and run the software checklist update on Windows Server 2012, the check list item can't expand when we click the expand (+) and if the check list item can't expand then we can't go through the check list process.

I'm not sure what is the missing part here but looks like Windows server 2012 not certified yet for Dynamics AX 2012 R2 client.
To solve this issue we need to run the software update checklist in AX client under supported client OS (I have tested in Windows server 2008 R2 and Windows 7).

  2. By default Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) is enabled. This is to provide a reduction of exposure to Web-based attacks. However, using IE ESC also reduces the functionality of web pages and applications that use the browser. To disable IE ESC for Administrators and Users, follow these steps:


    1. Click Start and select Server Manager.

    2. When the Server Manager window appears, go to the left pane and select the root of the folder tree.

    3. On the right, go to the Security Information section and click the Configure IE ESC link.

    4. The Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration window will appear. Use the corresponding radio buttons to disable IE ESC for Administrators and Users.

    5. Click OK.
