Will Internet Explorer Be Removed from Windows 10?
Contents

Microsoft announced last week that IE 11 will hit its end on June 15, 2022 for Windows 10 versions 20H2 and later, as well as on Windows 10 IoT versions 20H2 and later. The browser won’t be removed by Microsoft, but no updates or security patches will arrive after that date, making it potentially insecure.

Is it safe to remove Internet Explorer from Windows 10?

As you can see from our little experiment, it is safe to remove Internet Explorer from Windows 10, simply because its place had already been taken by Microsoft Edge. It’s also reasonably safe to remove Internet Explorer from Windows 8.1, but only as long as you have another browser installed.

Is Microsoft getting rid of Internet Explorer?

Microsoft Edge offers a faster, more secure, and modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, and a growing number of websites no longer support Internet Explorer. After the Internet Explorer desktop application is retired on June 15, 2022, it will be out of support.
