MC450856 – As previously announced, the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop app has been retired as of June 15, 2022. IE11 retirement is occurring through two phases:
When this will happen:
The Windows Update containing the permanent disablement of IE11 is scheduled to be available in the following releases:
The permanent disablement of IE11 will be included in all subsequent Windows Updates after the January non-security preview release and February security release.
How this will affect your organization:
At this time, IE11 has been retired, but if your organization has not yet completed your transition away from IE11, continued reliance on IE11 when the Windows Update becomes available may cause business disruption.
What you need to do to prepare:
For organizations that are ready to remove IE11, it is strongly recommended to use the Disable IE policy to remove IE11 on your organization’s devices to control the timing of permanent IE11 disablement on your own schedule before the Windows Update. Please see this blog for information on how and when to configure the Disable IE policy to replicate the effects of the Windows Update.
If you need help moving off IE11, please reach out to the App Assure team for help with app compatibility and open a support ticket for help with technical issues. Microsoft Edge brings you a faster, more secure, and more modern web experience than Internet Explorer and is the only browser with built-in compatibility for legacy IE-based sites and apps with IE mode.
