Modified on: Mon, May 9 2022 12:31 PM

In May 2021, Microsoft announced that support for Internet Explorer (IE) 11 on Windows 10 will end on June 15, 2022. ITS encourages IE 11 users to move to Microsoft Edge, the current browser native to the Windows operating system.


If you visit a website that requires IE 11, you may use Microsoft Edge in IE mode. IE mode enables backward compatibility and will be supported through at least 2029.
