unable to open IE11 after oct-2023 update
Hello, we know that Microsoft has depreciated IE11, but some business sectors are depending on that. especially when it comes to ActiveX support, it was the only browser supporting that for so l...
here is a work around which can run IE11 on both windows 10 and 11 as well.
create a new shortcut and give it this value:
mshta.exe javascript:open('http://google.com/');close();
note: replace ":" with ":" in the above code.
you can also watch this video.

you can change the icon of the shortcut to match IE11. simply by going to shortcut properties>change icon>browse> choose iexplorer.exe (you can use this path %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe)
but this is still a work around, we are not sure what Microsoft will come up in future.
hopefully to get a proper solution from Microsoft at least to domain joined machines.
This works indeed, so long as what's-their-name doesn't (at least try to) shut that down as well.
