I had same problem.

I used debug mode and got the following message :

message":"Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Browser zoom level was set to 110%. It should be set to 100%"

**debug mode :
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.LOG_LEVEL, "DEBUG");

It helps me:
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer(); capability.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INITIAL_BROWSER_URL, ""); Configuration.browserCapabilities = capability;

I also got the msg about the Protected mode. However, after fixing that and the zoom to 100%, the error remained as it is. Has anyone tried anything else?

Check the IEServerDriver Version, try using the same version as your selenium version.
