How to remove ie 11 from Windows 10


To remove Internet Explorer 11 from Windows 10, you can disable it using the Turn Windows features on or off option. Here’s how to do it:

✅ Steps to Remove Internet Explorer 11 from Windows 10:

  1. Open Control Panel:
  • Press Win + S, type Control Panel, and open it.
  1. Go to Programs:
  • In Control Panel, click on Programs (or Programs and Features).
  1. Turn Windows features on or off:
  • On the left-hand side, click Turn Windows features on or off.
  1. Disable Internet Explorer 11:
  • In the window that appears, uncheck the box next to Internet Explorer 11.
  • Click OK and wait for Windows to apply the changes.
  • You may be prompted to restart your computer—do so if necessary.

📝 Notes:

  • Disabling Internet Explorer 11 does not uninstall it completely, but it removes the browser from your system and stops most of its background components from running.
  • Some legacy applications or websites might require IE 11 to function properly. If you need access to such sites, consider using Microsoft Edge’s IE mode instead of fully disabling IE.
  • Microsoft has officially ended support for Internet Explorer 11 as of June 15, 2022, so removing or disabling it is generally safe unless you rely on older internal tools.

🔁 Optional: Completely Remove Internet Explorer 11 via PowerShell (Advanced)

For advanced users who want to attempt a full removal (not always possible due to system dependencies), you can try using PowerShell:

Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "Browser.InternetExplorer.*" | Remove-WindowsCapability -Online

However, note that this may not work on all Windows 10 editions, and Internet Explorer may still remain partially installed due to system integration.
