Internet Explorer reaches end-of-support tomorrow, 15 June 2022.<\/p>\n
Microsoft initially announced<\/strong><\/a> it would end Internet Explorer (IE) support on 19 May 2021 and encouraged users to migrate to its Edge browser.<\/p>\n The company ended Internet Explorer support for Microsoft 365 applications on 17 August 2021.<\/p>\n Microsoft said<\/a><\/strong> that it is retiring the legacy browser in two phases.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring the first phase, the redirection phase, devices will be progressively redirected from IE to Microsoft Edge over the next few months after June 15, 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAfter the redirection phase completes, IE will be permanently disabled through a future Windows Update on all devices with Windows platforms that are in-scope for IE retirement,\u201d Microsoft said.<\/p>\n Microsoft also recommended that system administrators apply the Disable IE Policy in their environments based on their schedule to control their permanent disablement of IE.<\/p>\n Since several enterprises still use older Internet Explorer-based applications, Microsoft built IE support into its newer browser.<\/p>\n \u201cMicrosoft Edge has Internet Explorer mode (\u201cIE mode\u201d) built in, so you can access those legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and applications straight from Microsoft Edge,\u201d Microsoft said.<\/p>\n It is important to note that Microsoft does not advise users to uninstall Internet Explorer since Edge\u2019s IE mode relies on it to function.<\/p>\n Internet Explorer mode will be supported in Microsoft Edge until 2029.<\/p>\n \u201cChange was necessary, but we didn\u2019t want to leave reliable, still-functioning websites and applications behind.\u201d<\/p>\n Microsoft listed improved compatibility, streamlined productivity, and better security as the primary reasons Edge was a better choice for its users.<\/p>\n Internet Explorer\u2019s retirement does not affect in-market Windows 10 LTSC, Server Internet Explorer 11 desktop applications, or the MSHTML (Trident) Engine.<\/p>\n (With apologies to T.S. Eliot)<\/p>\n Until the early 2010s, Microsoft Internet Explorer traumatised web developers. And this is the way it ends \u2014 not with a bang, but a whimper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341094,"featured_media":448802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,16],"tags":[983,123,49637],"class_list":["post-448798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-internet","category-software","tag-internet-explorer","tag-microsoft","tag-microsoft-edge-browser"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448798"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341094"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448798"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":448830,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448798\/revisions\/448830"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
