Microsoft is notifying Windows 10 users of a new known issue that may prevent some customers from updating to Windows 11. The bug affects users who are stuck with the old Internet Explorer and are reluctant to make the jump to Edge.
According to the official Windows 11 Health Dashboard documentation, Microsoft has placed an update block for some Internet Explorer users. The company says users who don't accept the prompts to import browsing data into Edge before installing the new operating system may lose access to data from the browser after upgrading to Windows 11.
Microsoft is currently working to fix the bug that may result in potential data loss. The company says the upcoming patch will allow Windows 10 users to update and recover inaccessible data for those who have already updated to Windows 11. Meanwhile, Internet Explorer users who want to use Windows 11 can bypass the update blocking edge by importing data from Internet Explorer to Microsoft.
Internet Explorer issues are currently the only known issue preventing Windows 10 users from updating to Windows 11. A few days ago, Microsoft fixed one of the long-standing bugs that broke virtual machines after installing Windows 11.
The software giant recently issued a reminder about the impending demise of Internet Explorer. Microsoft wants everyone to abandon the former king of the browser market in favor of the more modern Edge with a dedicated IE mode (learn more about using IE mode in Edge here). To keep former Internet Explorer users happy, Microsoft continues to improve IE mode in Edge and add new features, such as two-way cookie sharing.
Microsoft plans to retire Internet Explorer and stop supporting the browser on June 15, 2022. IE mode in Edge, on the other hand, will remain supported until at least 2029.
