Internet Explorer 11 to be retired in three months

Microsoft has announced the retirement of the Internet Explorer 11 web browser for most versions of the Windows 10 operating system. Yesterday, Microsoft issued a reminder that support for Internet Explorer 11 will end on June 15, 2022.

A message on the Windows Release Health website notifies users and administrators that Internet Explorer 11 is ending as a desktop application.

As mentioned before, the future of Internet Explorer on Windows lies with Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) provides legacy browser support in Microsoft Edge. As a result, the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop app will be retired on June 15, 2022 for some versions of Windows 10. This means that the IE11 desktop app will no longer be supported and will then be redirected to Microsoft Edge if users try to access it.

Internet Explorer 11 will be retired on June 15, 2022, according to Microsoft. Desktop applications will no longer launch after deactivation and Microsoft Edge will load instead. Internet Explorer files will not be removed from the device after support ends because they are required for IE mode.

Microsoft Edge will be the only Microsoft browser in the future. The browser supports an older mode called IE mode, which allows companies and users to load IE-specific content in Microsoft Edge.

Since Edge is based on Chromium, it does not support Internet Explorer technology. IE mode ensures that Internet Explorer-specific content can still be loaded. Most home users probably don't need IE mode, but companies may because some applications and services may be created specifically for Internet Explorer.

Multiple Windows operating system versions and editions are not affected; this includes Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Server LTSC and SAC, and Windows 10 client LTSC installations.

Microsoft Edge is the default Windows 11 browser. It offers better web compatibility as it is based on Chromium, the same source that Google Chrome is based on. According to Microsoft, Edge does offer better security and protection than Internet Explorer.
