If the compatibility mode is turned off in Internet Explorer ten in Windows Eight, the NVDA does not work in some areas. For instance, the NVDA's own web site, nvda-project.org, in creating ticket, I could not interact with combo boxes. The NVDA would not turn focus mode.

Before we investigate this one, it would be good to know that for a sighted person, is this page and combo boxes when compatibility mode is off in IE 10 is completely usable without a screen reader? Its possible that this page simply is not standards compliant and therefore IE 10 needs to mutate it or reinterpret to be "compatible".
According to http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enable-compatibility-view-in-internet-explorer-11-ie11/:
"In Internet Explorer 11, the compatibility view button is removed from the address bar because document modes are now deprecated. Microsoft felt that the button had outlived his purpose because it's been many years now since Microsoft introduced X-UA-Compatible tags. Web developers were supposed to add these X-UA-Compatible meta tags to their website's HTML header to indicate web page compatibility and not leave it to the user to depend on the button to correctly render the page. Now, Microsoft is expecting all web developers to update their websites to work with the latest edge mode and avoid using document modes, unless on a temporary basis. "
While I shall test the compatibility view in Internet Explorer 11 for the issue described (at a later time), I believe the above may aid in triaging this issue, and might even justify closing.
