The Microsoft Internet browser Explore 11 will be retired from the company in 2022 for most versions of Windows.
Microsoft announced the end of Internet Explorer today, a day after its official release Windows 10 of version 21H1.

Η Microsoft σχεδιάζει να απενεργοποιήσει τον Internet Explorer 11 σε όλες τις μη υποστηριζόμενες εκδόσεις και να ανακατευθύνει τα αιτήματα που προσπαθούν να ανοίξουν τον Internet Explorer στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης Microsoft Edge. Ο Internet Explorer 11 δεν θα αφαιρεθεί από από το λειτουργικό σύστημα, επειδή ο κινητήρας του απαιτείται για την mode IE Mode. IE Mode will bridge the gap between using the Edge browser and accessing apps and websites that require specific Internet Explorer technologies.
The following versions of Windows are not affected by the decision:
- Windows 7 with extensive security updates
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 10 client LTSC (all versions)
- Windows 10 Server SAC (all versions)
- Windows 10 IoT Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) (all versions)
- Windows 10 Server LTSC (all versions)

Because Microsoft leaves him Internet Explorer;
Microsoft says that the new browser, Microsoft Edge, offers a faster, more secure, and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, and that it will address one of the major concerns of users and organizations with IE Mode in the browser. IE may be able to run older sites that require Internet Explorer features that are not supported by modern browsers.
The decision to withdraw Internet Explorer was based on the following reasons, according to Microsoft:
Ο Microsoft Edge προσφέρει βελτιωμένη συμβατότητα στον ιστό, καθώς βασίζεται στο Chromium, στον ίδιο πυρήνα που βασίζονται ο Google Chrome and other browsers such as Vivaldi, o Brave or Opera.
Optimized productivity as users and organizations can focus on one browser instead of having to juggle between two browsers.
Better browser security with new features and better browser built-in protection.
Administrators can configure IE Mode in Microsoft Edge using this official guide to allow users to open websites using Internet Explorer. Microsoft states that apps developed for IE should work in IE Mode in Microsoft Edge. A dedicated email address is available post officey, ACHELP@microsoft.com, to report compatibility issues when opening websites in IE mode designed for Internet Explorer.
Microsoft will not give any extension after the deadline of June 15, 2022.
Microsoft has published one FAQ on the Tech Community website that answers frequently asked questions and contains many links for further support.
