    Hi, Apparently I'm smart enough to ACTUALLY remove internet explorer 11 from windows 10 and...


    I was trying to clear disk space on an annoyingly small hard drive and couldn't delete certain things under "TrustedInstaller." I did not trust the installer and figured out how to transfer ownership of everything on the hard drive to my user account. I then proceeded to delete Internet Explorer using an IObit uninstaller program. As a kid IE was fairly harmless to get rid of I thought, but Apparently now that thing is hooked up to the whole Windows 10 shabang because the little windows menu button in the bottom left corner of the screen and on the keyboard no longer does anything. Right clicking still does bring up whatever the right click menu is called.


    Needless to say I regret my meddling in things I did not understand. As I have no magic to turn back time and never have and never will have that kind of magic can someone tell me how to hit the metaphorical or literal "undo" button, or how to reinstall the darned thing so that everything goes back to normal?

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Hi, Apparently I'm smart enough to ACTUALLY remove internet explorer 11 from windows 10 and... wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

  3. Internet Explorer 11 not responding - Windows 10

    Hi Kat,

    Corrupted Internet Explorer settings are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. We recommend removing Internet Explorer form the Windows 10, then add it again. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click Programs and Features.
    • Click Turn Windows features on or off in the left pane.
    • Clear the Internet Explorer 11 option.
    • Click OK, then Yes to confirm.
    • Click Restart now to remove the web browser.
    • To re-add Internet Explorer, repeat steps 1 to 3.
    • Select Internet Explorer 11 option.
    • Click OK, then Yes to confirm.
    • Click Restart now.
    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Internet Explorer. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Explorer.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Internet Explorer performance troubleshooter
    And also refer the link below and check if it helps.
