Orientation media queries in IE 11

Anyone know why IE 11 would ignore orientation media queries? For example the following does not work for me in IE 11...

@media (orientation: landscape) {
    section {
        padding-top: 18%;
    }
    figure {
        width: 33%;
        margin: 0 3% 0 7%;
    }
}

Try adding all or screen.

   @media screen and (orientation: landscape) {
      ...
   }

alternatively

   @media all and (orientation: landscape) {
      ...
   }

Actually, I just discovered that it is working when loaded from the server but not when run locally. I wonder why? Thanks for the answer though.

Is the path to that css file correct if on local?

Yeah. It's a relative path and is loading the css locally but ignoring the orientation query. The other media queries work just not the orientation query.
