Internet Explorer 11 desktop app retires June 15, 2022
As previously announced, the future of Internet Explorer on Windows is in Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) provides legacy browser support within Microsoft Edge. Because of this, the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop application will be retired on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10. This means that the IE11 desktop application will no longer be supported and afterward will redirect to Microsoft Edge if a user tries to access it. ..

Does this apply only to Windows 10? My understanding for Windows 8.1 is that IE 11 will be supported until the end of 8.1 support, which comes in January 2023.

Correct:

End of [IE11] service dates for currently supported versions of Windows

Windows 11 Pro version 22H2 build 22621.1483 + Microsoft 365 + Edge

Which platforms will be affected when the IE11 desktop application is retired and goes out of support on June 15, 2022?

In scope at the time of this announcement (will be retired):

Internet Explorer 11 desktop application delivered via the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC):
Windows 10 client SKUs (version 20H2 and later)
Windows 10 IoT (version 20H2 and later)

Out of scope at the time of this announcement (unaffected):

Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge
Internet Explorer platform (MSHTML/Trident), including WebOC
Internet Explorer 11 desktop application on:
Windows 8.1
Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU)
Windows Server SAC (all versions)
Windows 10 IoT Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) (all versions)
Windows Server LTSC (all versions)
Windows 10 client LTSC (all versions)

so this June 2022 EOL date for IE doesn’t apply to Win7 ESU, Win8.1 and LTSC Win10 versions. only applies to “current” Win10 non-ltsc releases

It’s a shame they did not put IE11 out to pasture years ago. It was a malware magnet.

I have what feels like a silly question….

 

So provided I have my site running from IE mode in Edge, will everything continue to work there?  Even if Active X application?

Yes:

IE mode supports the following Internet Explorer functionality

Windows 11 Pro version 22H2 build 22621.1483 + Microsoft 365 + Edge

Microsoft: please stop using Internet Explorer before it runs out of support next month

..Microsoft is asking organizations to set a retirement date for Internet Explorer before June 15, 2022 to ensure that company employees won’t run into issues when IE retires.

Internet Explorer 11 won’t start anymore on its retirement date and Microsoft Edge will be loaded automatically, according to Microsoft. The company suggests that the new Microsoft Edge web browser is used instead by organizations, as it supports legacy Internet Explorer features through its IE Mode functionality…

.Microsoft recommends that users import their data from IE to Edge before the retirement date. Users may load edge://settings/importData in the Edge address bar and select Microsoft Internet Explorer to start the importing of data from the browser…

Organizations who still use Internet Explorer have six weeks to migrate to Edge, before this is happening automatically. The IE chapter will be closed on June 15, 2022 for the most part.

No ESU for IE ? 🙂
