Microsoft is removing Internet Explorer from MS Windows computers as it is permanently discontinuing the web browser which it developed. The tech firm was said to have already announced this last year and at that time, it shared its plan to stop providing support for IE through a Microsoft Edge update.
The web browser’s cut-off date for support was set for Feb. 14 so it has taken effect already. As per OnMSFT, the original plan was to deactivate Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10 through a software update but Microsoft revised the strategy and just made the decision to completely remove it through the latest update for Edge.
It was said that this decision comes as the company realized the process will be much simpler if Internet Explorer will be taken down instead. It was noted that prior to this event, Microsoft has been urging its users to use the new Edge browser.
The tech firm even released an IE Mode update to make the transition easier and hassle-free. Users should be aware that in the process of transition, all browsing data on the IE will also be transferred to Microsoft Edge.
The company is currently rolling out the new update on the Edge for both personal and commercial devices. Once the update is completed, people will not be able to revert back to the previous version.
As for users who are still browsing the web using Internet Explorer, starting this week, they will be seeing a notice that reads: “The future of Internet Explorer is in Microsoft Edge.” people will then be redirected to Edge since the company is taking down the IE.
Finally, Neowin News reported that it is crucial to know that while the redirection is in effect already, visual references to IE like the icons on the taskbar will still be visible until the next few months. Microsoft will be eliminating them by June 13 but users can remove them earlier by installing the optional “C” preview update which will be rolled out on May 23.
