    I had to switch to IE mode earlier today to open an ftp site. Firefox removed support, I thought I'd try it in Edge. Wouldn't you know Chromium also removed support a few versions ago! It did open in IE mode, but it was buggy. I couldn't edit the path in the URL bar to navigate, I could only click page links. It would've been helpful to be able to launch IE 11.

    I think Edge IE mode great, the compatibility is good in the sense it works well with sites. But if you want to use IE in some way that isn't in the main use case Microsoft has thought about and planned for, it's liable to run into problems or limitations. I certainly wouldn't want to trade Edge IE mode for IE 11, but I do wish I could add it back as an option, run them side by side. I guess it's not possible.

    At least explorer.exe can still open FTP sites, though it's still finicky and prone to freezing. I ended up just using WinSCP.

    Why the hell would you want to use IE these days anyway, WHY?
    IE belongs in a museum along with Netscape and other relic browsers.

    Nostalgia? Windows Server 2022 contains it by default and maybe even 10 LTSC 2021.

    internet explorer component is still inside windows 11 just like legacy notepad, snipsketch, paint, photoviewer, mediaplayer etc. they won't remove it since lots of enterprise softwares are using them. microsoft will never be able to remove things from its system for this reason. they may say they did. but just look at the components. they are allllll there. they look disabled etc but if you force you can use them. but don't

    If you want to run an old browser maybe something like Waterfox would be better because at least it gets security updates as far as I know.

    Why didn't the IT guy not simply install the very small 21H2 EP manually?:thinking:

    Hi. If you want to launch Internet Explorer on Windows 11 without using Edge, follow these instructions:
    1. Paste the following code into Notepad:
    Code:
    Set IE=CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    With IE .Visible=1
    End With
    2. Save as iexplore.vbs
    3. Launch the file you saved

    Happy to help :)

    Awesome!
    Same as above minus the vbs file, to create a pinnable shortcut:
    - right-click Desktop, New, Shortcut:
    powershell -nop -win 0 -c (new-object -com 'InternetExplorer.Application').Visible=1

    And yes, it's the full browser, you can fill it up with persistent toolbars and etc. like in the old days.
    But it's gonna be harder to find such crap since even "hackers" abandoned IE.
    Heck, you might actually be "safer", at least when it comes to tracking, because most of that s**t assumes advanced browser features being present and nobody codes an old ie path anymore
