On some Windows versions such as Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, an issue with Microsoft Help Viewer and Internet Explorer's
security being turned on can cause the Help content to be displayed as raw HTML code. To resolve the issue, you need to turn
off the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) for both administrators and users. Check the Microsoft
Windows help for more information on how to do this.

Studio menu click
