Windows 10: How do I force Internet Explorer 11 to run in 32bit mode on Win10 64bit Version 1909?

I have a special case where I need to use 32bit iexplore.exe on the 64bit version of Win10.



I'm executing: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe ...with the below settings disabled..

-Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode

-Enable Enhanced Protected Mode



However, it's still running the 64bit version. What's the trick to get it to run in 32bit mode?

32bit Internet Explorer on Windows 10 64bit

Is there a way to install 32bit version of Internet Explorer (AFAIK doesn't matter which version) on 64bit Windows 10?

There already is Internet Explorer in Windows 10 but it seems there's only a 64bit version.

I've tried to install the 32bit version for Windows 7 SP1 downloaded from microsoft.com website without success even with the compatibility mode on (right click on the installation file -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Win 7 SP1).

I would prefer a solution without the need to install virtual machine if possible.

I've seen this page offering "ready made" virtual machines of various versions of IE but it's only for testing purposes and they say it works just for 90 days.

And yes, I really need to install 32bit IE because there's a crucial web application which is not compatible with other browsers nor other versions of IE.

 

Internet Explorer has stopped working

Since it is working with other user account on your PC, kindly run both version of Internet Explorer (64bit and 32bit) to isolate your concern. To do so, follow the steps below:

For 64bit version:

• Double click FileExplorer
• Click This PC
• Double click Local Disk (C
• Double click Program Files
• Double click Internet Explorer
• Run the application iexplore.exe by double clicking it.

For 32bit version:

• Double click FileExplorer
• Click This PC
• Double click Local Disk (C
• Double click Program Files (x86)
• Double click Internet Explorer
• Run the application iexplore.exe by double clicking it.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Switching from 32bit Win10 to 64bit Win10 - pre clean install questions

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to do a 32bit to 64bit move on my Win10 soon and I wanted to check a few things to minimise any downtime:

1. I know migration is a multi-step process, I went from a 32bit Win 8 Pro version (bought online, I have the product code emails etc.) to 32bit Win 8.1 (free upgrade) and now to 32bit Win10 (free upgrade). When doing a clean install can I just get an ISO
of a 64bit Win10 and proceed with it, or do I need to start with a Win8 64bit version and after installing do an upgrade to Win10 (which will also be 64bit as the original system would be 64bit)?

Plan is to download Win10 64bit ISO via the Media Creation tool and roll with it after doing a full file / system backup. Currently my Win10 32bit is saying it's all Activated, so hopefully when I get online it will connect to Microsoft and activate itself
again? During installation it will probably ask me for a product code, but I've ready this can be skipped, is this correct? at this point I don't really have a Win10 product code (although I can write down the one which is displayed under Settings -> System
-> About), just the original Win8 code which probably wouldn't work.

2. Is there anyway to somehow image all the current apps I've got installed and re-build the whole lot when Win10 64bit is up and running?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
