Support for Internet Explorer ended on June 15, 2022

Internet Explorer 11 has been permanently disabled through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10. If any site you visit needs Internet Explorer 11, you can reload it with Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge. We recommend you use Microsoft Edge  for a faster, more secure and more modern web browsing experience.

Get started with Microsoft Edge

If you can't open Internet Explorer, if it freezes, or if it opens briefly and then closes, the problem might be caused by low memory or damaged system files. Try this:

  1. Open Internet Explorer and select Tools  > Internet options.

  2. Select the Advanced tab, and then select Reset.

  3. In the Reset Internet Explorer settings dialog box, select Reset.

  4. When Internet Explorer finishes applying the default settings, select Close > OK.

  5. Restart your PC to apply the changes.
