Windows 8 users are restricted to Internet Explorer 10 or 11 depending on which version of Windows 8 they are running.
One known issue when using Internet Explorer 10 or 11 is the incorrect behavior of the SharePoint People Picker. For example : You may encounter an error when setting an Expert on a Knowledge Source document or adding a Team Member to a Project.
Fortunately there is a way to bypass this limitation:

1) In Internet Explorer 10 press the F12 key. This will bring up the compatibility pane at the bottom of your screen.
2) Click on "Browser Mode", then choose either Internet Explorer 9 or 8.
Your browser will do a refresh and will now be in Compatibility Mode.
You will now be able to correctly use the People Picker without any hassles.
