Access Legacy Internet Explorer in Windows 11
Did you know that the legacy Internet Explorer still exists in Windows 11? Microsoft shipped Windows 11 series with Internet Explorer being disabled, and let me show you on how to access it. Microsoft stopped supporting the Internet Explorer web browser, indicating the end is near for a 26-year-old brand with baggage that includes an antitrust case, security flaws and lagging performance. The legacy IE will be discontinued by mid-2022.

Internet Explorer (IE) has been completely removed from Windows 11 and cannot be reinstalled in the traditional way. It was officially retired by Microsoft on June 15, 2022.
However, Windows 11 includes a powerful compatibility feature called Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) inside its modern browser, Microsoft Edge. This mode allows you to load specific websites using the legacy Internet Explorer rendering engine, effectively making them work as if you were using IE.
