IE 11 IN win10

Thanks, I'm way past knowing how to turn windows features on and off.

I was having trouble with the Cortana search of my computer and web. the web search always went on Bing using explorer 11 instead of Edge browser. I turned off the IE11 and it would not search the web at all. I finally reset the edge browser and Cortana
search started using the edge browser as it should. I went back to turn on IE11 and it is not there to turn on? I need the IE11 because Edge will not except the add-on needed to view my CCTV remotely.

This is a setting about which MS has been ambivalent- now you see it, now you don't. Maybe that's changed again with the Creator's Upgrade.

If you want proper consistent control of that, change the start menu and use Classic Shell (free).

 

Hello @asusG, *Smile

We used to be able to disable Cortana Web search in Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

The setting has been removed in Cortana settings in Windows 10 Creators Update, and the group policy option no longer works.

Currently the only way to disable Web search is to disable Cortana. This will allow only a search on the local PC.
