Windows 10: Using File Explorer to view SharePoint

Up until today I have been able to use File Explorer to view local files and SharePoint files, by logging into my SharePoint on Internet Explorer and adding it as a Trusted Site. As of today, I can't log back into Internet Explorer as it's just coming up with messages saying it is being retired, and launching Edge if I try to log in.How else can I make File Explorer work?
