REMINDER: IE11 desktop application permanent disablement scheduled for TODAY, February 14, 2023

The out-of-support Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) desktop application is scheduled to be permanently disabled on certain versions of Windows 10 devices today, February 14, 2023, through a Microsoft Edge update. All remaining devices that have not already been redirected from IE11 to Microsoft Edge will be redirected with the Microsoft Edge update. Note, this update will be rolled out over the span of a few days up to a week, as is standard for Microsoft Edge updates (learn more). Redirection from IE11 to Microsoft Edge will be included in all future Microsoft Edge updates and will impact all devices within your organization with no ability for users to reverse the change. Therefore, if your organization still has dependencies on IE11, you must take steps now to complete your transition today, or risk business disruption at scale when users lose access to IE11-dependent applications. As a reminder, IE11 has been out of support since June 15, 2022.

Users will see a dialogue box when they are transitioned to Microsoft Edge. When they try to click any IE11 icons or other entry points, they will be redirected to Microsoft Edge. Users’ browsing data will be automatically brought over to Microsoft Edge from IE11 so they can seamlessly continue browsing.
