Internet Explorer 11 will be retired in June 2022 for most Windows 10 versions
Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11 web browser will be retired by the company in 2022 for most Windows versions. Microsoft announced the end of Internet Explorer today, just a day after the official release of Windows 10 version 21H1.
The aging browser won't be supported on all Windows 10 client SKUs and Windows 10 IoT versions 20H2 and later from June 15, 2022 onward.
Microsoft plans to disable Internet Explorer 11 on all unsupported devices and redirect requests to open Internet Explorer to the company's Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser. Internet Explorer 11 won't be removed from devices because its engine is required for IE Mode to function. IE Mode will bridge the gap between using the Edge web browser and accessing apps and sites that require Internet Explorer-specific technologies.
