INTERNET EXPLORER MODE FAQ
Expand All | Collapse All
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does “retiring Internet Explorer 11” mean? When should I start
transitioning from IE11 and to Microsoft Edge with IE mode?
Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode will officially replace the Internet
Explorer 11 desktop application starting next year. On June 15, 2022, the
Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired, meaning it will go out
of support. Afterwards, the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be
disabled on specific versions of Windows 10. Internet Explorer mode will
continue to be supported in Microsoft Edge so that you can continue to access
your legacy, Internet-Explorer based sites and apps.
We highly recommend you start transitioning to Microsoft Edge with IE mode as
soon as possible to avoid potential business impact. Site discovery, deployment,
and testing can take multiple months. Take your first steps using the Getting
Started guide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What operating systems are impacted?
This retirement impacts the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application delivered
via the semi-annual channel (SAC) for Windows 10 client SKUs (version 20H2 and
later) and Windows 10 IoT (version 20H2 and later). Windows 10 LTSC, Windows 10
Server, Windows 7, and Windows 8.1 are excluded. For a full list, please see our
full FAQ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How long will Internet Explorer mode be supported as a feature of Microsoft
Edge?
IE mode support follows the lifecycle of Windows client, Server, and IoT
releases at least through 2029. Additionally, Microsoft will give one year of
notice before retiring the IE mode experience when the time comes. For more
information, please see our FAQ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What if I need help setting up Microsoft Edge and/or Internet Explorer mode?
We offer a variety of support options. If you have Microsoft Unified Support,
you can reach out to that support service for help with the transition. There’s
also FastTrack, which is available at no additional charge to customers with 150
or more paid seats of Windows 10.
We also recommended looking at our Getting Started guide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How compatible is Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode?
Microsoft Edge is built on the Chromium open-source project to provide
world-class compatibility for modern sites and apps. Internet Explorer mode
provides compatibility for your legacy sites and apps by supporting Internet
Explorer functionality like all document and enterprise modes, Active X controls
(such as Java or Silverlight), and more.
We also offer the App Assure program in case a compatibility issue does arise
when moving from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge. The App Assure promise is
this: if your web apps and sites work on Internet Explorer 11, supported
versions of Google Chrome, or any version of Microsoft Edge (including Microsoft
Edge Legacy), those web apps and sites should work on Microsoft Edge. If an
issue arises, you can either request assistance or email us
(ACHELP@microsoft.com) for remediation support at no additional cost. You can
also read more about App Assure and Microsoft Edge in this blog.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I store my Enterprise Site List in the cloud?
The new Cloud Site List Management experience is now available in public
preview, with general availability following. For more information, please see
our Docs page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard that I can disable Internet Explorer 11 on my users’ devices to help
transition them to Microsoft Edge before Internet Explorer 11 is retired. Is
this true?
Yes! We recommend that you disable the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application
prior to its retirement on June 15, 2022 as part of your change management
process to help users move to Microsoft Edge. Enabling the “Disable Internet
Explorer 11 as a standalone browser” policy will redirect users to Microsoft
Edge if they try to access Internet Explorer 11. For more details, please see
this documentation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there adoption materials available to help me move my organization to
Microsoft Edge?
Yes! You can download them directly here or access them through our Getting
Started guide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a longer FAQ where my more technical questions might be answered?
Absolutely! Please see this page for a more detailed FAQ about this
announcement.
