Technical Details
[SPLoaderError.loadComponentError]:
***Failed to load component "11111111-2017-4bc3-9a39-18dfdd167e1b" (DocumentNavigationWebPart).
Original error: ***Failed to load entry point from component "11111111-2017-4bc3-9a39-18dfdd167e1b" (DocumentNavigationWebPart).
Original error: Error loading https://component-id.invalid/11111111-2017-4bc3-9a39-18dfdd167e1b_0.0.1
Cannot redefine non-configurable property 'startsWith'

Cause

This is a known issue when using Internet Explorer 11 with SharePoint Online. It occurs after the addition of a pollyfill.js file to support modern styling in SharePoint Online. As a result, third-party web parts that use polyfill.js will not work on pages in IE 11.

Resolution

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information as it becomes available.
