Reader DC Comment Tools Disabled in Internet Explorer

[kconrads]

When I open documents in Internet Explorer, the Comment Tools are disabled.  If I open the same document directly with Adobe Reader DC, the tools are enabled.  I have verified the document is marked Comments Enabled.  I also verified the Adobe Reader plugin is enabled in Internet Explorer.  I am running the 2015 release of Adobe DC and Internet Explorer 11.

Any suggestions?
