After 27 years, Internet explorer is retiring today.
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) will no longer be supported in Windows 10, as previously announced.
Users will continue to receive IE 11 support if they use Windows Server 2022 or an earlier OS release with a long-term service extension, but this effectively marks the end of software updates for the vast majority of people.
According to the reports, Windows 11 does not include an Internet Explorer desktop app.
The Edge browser’s IE Mode will continue to receive support until 2029 or later, so users will not be left out if they only require compatibility with the older web engine.
According to the reports, the company will “progressively” redirect users from IE to Edge over the next few months, and will permanently disable the old software via a Windows update.
Microsoft announced last year that it will retire its iconic Internet Explorer browser in June 2022, as it sees the future of the browser, which debuted in 1995, on Windows 10 in Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft has been moving away from Internet Explorer support over the last year, such as the announcement of the end of IE support by Microsoft 365 online services.
