Happy Valentine's Day: Here's the final nail in Internet Explorer's coffin
This Valentine's day, Microsoft is quietly giving users the final gift of no more Internet Explorer by rolling out an Edge patch to most versions of Windows 10, finally killing the browser in all but IE mode.2022, when Microsoft announced its official end of life in favor of the newer Chromium-based Edge, yet IE 11 hung around in a few select places. Those places have now been exposed to the Edge, and IE has been lopped off thanks to today's update.
Internet Explorer 11 will still be present on some versions of Windows, like 8.1, 7, long-term service channel versions of Win 10 Server and client, and Windows 10 China Government Edition. Affected versions of Windows will have the Edge update delivered without the option to reverse the change, and users on those versions will get Edge redirects next time they try to open the browser.
If your business still has IE11 dependencies, it's too late to take steps to smooth the transition, unfortunately: The patch is out, and"business disruption at scale" could follow for those that didn't bother to take action earlier.
