After 25+ years of helping people use and experience the web, Internet Explorer (IE) is officially retired and out of support as of June 15, 2022.

So, what happens now for everyday users?

...

Note

IE11 retirement is occurring through two phases:

  1. A redirection phase, currently in progress with devices progressively redirected from IE11 to Microsoft Edge

  1. An upcoming Windows Update phase that includes IE11 being permanently disabled. The Windows security update (“B”) release that will permanently disable IE11 is scheduled to be available for roll out on February 14, 2023.

When this will happen:

The Windows Update containing the permanent disablement of IE11 is scheduled to be available in the following releases:

·     January non-security preview release, also known as 1C, scheduled for January 17, 2023

·     February security release, also known as 2B, scheduled for February 14, 2023

The permanent disablement of IE11 will be included in all subsequent Windows Updates after the January non-security preview release and February security release.

What about my favorites?

As part of this redirection process, users will have their data like favorites, passwords and settings imported from Internet Explorer—this will help make the transition to Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox both familiar and simple. If a user wants to delete or manage their data at any point after, they can always do so from within the application.
