Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop application will be retired on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10. This means that the IE11 desktop application will no longer be supported and afterward will redirect to Microsoft Edge if a user tries to open it.

Microsoft has said that users can still use Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) within Microsoft Edge for the time being, in order to support legacy websites and applications until they can be ported over to the new software.

Microsoft first announced plans to retire support for Internet Explorer 11 across Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 back in August 2020, and since then has been gradually stripping back services for the software.

External tools have also been withdrawn, with Google Search withdrawing support for Internet Explorer in October 2021, leaving the browser reliant on its own in-house Bing search tool, with support for Docs, Sheets, Slides and other Google Workspace apps removed in March 2021.

As a security precaution, Integrity IT will be disabling IE11 for our support customers, but if you have any specific concerns please Contact a member of our team for more information
