Reminder: IE11 desktop application retires in 8 months on June 15, 2022 – Set up IE mode today (non-LTSC, non-Server)

As announced in MC257152 (May 2021) and MC288052 (Sept 2021), the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) provides legacy browser support within Microsoft Edge. Because of this, the IE11 desktop application will be retired on June 15, 2022. This means that the IE11 desktop application will no longer be supported and afterwards will redirect to Microsoft Edge if a user tries to access it.

With 8 months left before retirement, we highly recommend you start preparing for this multi-month transition today. The essential first step—Site Discovery—typically takes 3-4 weeks.

New service plans called M365_Lighthouse_Plan1 and M365_Lighthouse_Plan2 were recently added to the Windows 365 Enterprise at the tenant level.  These new service plans are part of the Microsoft 365 Lighthouse for Microsoft CSP managed service provider partners supporting Microsoft 365 customers with fewer than 500 licenses.

We acknowledge that this does not align with our change communications commitments and want to apologize for this oversight. Please note that if your account is not supported by a Microsoft CSP managed service provider partner, the new Microsoft 365 Lighthouse service plans will not impact your account and you may safely disregard this message.
