That, to me, is the biggest problem with Win 8. Any Win 8 application, including IE10, automatically runs in full screen. (Note: IE10 only runs in full screen when it is the default browser. If you set another browser, such as FireFox or Chrome, as your default IE10 will open from the desktop.) Win 8 wants to encourage keeping apps open in the background rather than closing one to start another. I disagree with their philosophy but I didn't write the software so I don't get a vote.
If you want to be able to use multiple windows of IE 10, you could always install another browser and set it as the default. Then when you open IE10, it will run from the desktop rather than the so-called UI (User Interface). Another option is to open a new tab. I didn't particularly care for tabs when they first appeared but use them extensively now.
Just my 2ยข. Your mileage may vary. See dealer for details.
