    Assuming someone will find a way to run IE in Win11, that wouldn't be a solution. The CU of next month can break it again.

    So, if you don't want to stick with an older OS, the only solution would be to use IE in a virtual machine, possibly (as stupid as may sound) using Wine in WSL (WSL1 I mean) to run just IE may be simpler and more future proof than a full fledged virtual machine, given often Linux+WSL runs older Windows programs better than a modern Windows itself.

    A windows container may be another way, but I'm not a containers expert.

    Please don't use IE classic, unless you do government / education stuff. Most government servers across the globe still run NT 4.0 and won't accept anything but IE .. have fun and stay safe! :cool:

    Because both do the same thing, create and run ActiveX object "InternetExplorer.Application"
    if it's removed, or unregistered somehow, neither will work

    Is there any way to to reregister this ActiveX object "InternetExplorer.Application" or add the removed component?
