(Internet Explorer)在来自竞争对手的激烈竞争中,Internet Explorer在数字空间中存活了很长时间(超过 20 年)。但是,微软(Microsoft)已经明确表示,对于某些版本的Windows 10 ,桌面(Desktop)应用程序将于2022年6 月 15(June 15)日停止支持并停用。是的,Internet Explorer 即将停用(Internet Explorer is retiring)。那么,这对商业组织、IT 管理员、开发人员和最终用户意味着什么。我们将在今天的帖子中尝试回答这些问题。
Internet Explorer(Internet Explorer End)生命周期(Life)结束;对企业意味着什么
Internet Explorer于 1995 年推出,是Windows计算机上的主导浏览器,直到它面临来自Google Chrome和Mozilla Firefox等真正的挑战。此后(Thereafter),人们开始抛弃 IE 并开始转向更新的浏览器。尽管如此,许多企业仍然依赖Internet Explorer对其业务关键型应用程序的支持。现在,新的日期已经确定了最后期限。以下是您应该知道或注意的事项。
1] 是否会从设备中删除Internet Explorer桌面应用程序?(Internet Explorer)
IE 用户首先想到的是在此公告之后,Internet Explorer 11桌面应用程序会从设备中删除吗?
好吧,这不太可能发生,因为IE 模式需要IE11引擎才能运行。但是,在2022 年6 月 15日停用(June 15)IE11 桌面(IE11 Desktop)应用程序后,它将被永久禁用。
2] iexplore.exe会(Will)从设备中删除吗?
不!但是,如果用户尝试访问它,他们将无法打开IE11,而是被重定向到Microsoft Edge。
3] 停用会影响我的浏览器默认设置吗?如果 IE 未配置为我的默认浏览器怎么办?
同样,答案是“否”。仅当您的默认设置为Internet Explorer 11(Internet Explorer 11)时,停用才会更改您的浏览器默认设置。因此,如果将IE11设置为您的浏览器默认设置,它将更改为Microsoft Edge。
2022年6 月 15(June 15)日停用的IE11 桌面(IE11 Desktop)应用程序将影响哪些平台?
- (Internet Explorer 11) 通过半年频道(Channel)( SAC )交付的Internet Explorer 11桌面应用程序(Desktop)
- Windows 10 客户端SKU(SKUs)(版本 20H2 及更高版本)
- Windows 10 IoT(版本 20H2 及更高版本)

4]它将如何影响全球的组织?(How)
微软(Microsoft)表示,如果你的组织有旧版浏览器依赖项,你需要通过切换到Internet Explorer 模式在Microsoft Edge中启用旧版浏览器支持。
也就是说,如果您已经安装了Microsoft Edge,您会自动缩短流程以帮助您进行迁移。
5] Edge(Edge)的 IE 模式下复制了哪些 IE 功能?它是否支持 Java和Silverlight等(Silverlight)Active X控件?
答案是肯定(Yes)的。IE 模式支持所有文档和企业模式、Active X控件(如Java或Silverlight)等。您可以在此页面(this page)上找到它的完整列表。
IE 模式不支持的功能包括影响导航菜单和IE11或Microsoft Edge F12 开发人员工具的Internet Explorer工具栏、Internet Explorer设置和组策略(Group Policies)。

6] Edge(Will Edge)是否能够打开在Internet Explorer中打开但不能在 Internet Explorer 中打开的(Internet Explorer).mht和.mhtml文件?
微软(Microsoft)计划在浏览器的Microsoft Edge和 IE 模式中添加.mht和.mhtml文件支持。你可以看到它正在发生,从Microsoft Edge版本 92 开始。确保将IE 11设置为此文件类型的默认处理程序,以便在 IE 模式下打开。
7] 开发商呢?
该公司明确表示,为 IE 开发的应用程序应通过 IE 模式在Microsoft Edge中运行。(Microsoft Edge)如果您遇到任何问题或遇到兼容性问题(例如加载网站时出错),您可以联系 App Assure(App Assure)寻求补救帮助([电子邮件保护])。同时,它也温和地提醒开发者制定计划,结束对Internet Explorer的依赖。
8]即使在2022 年6 月 15(June 15)日之后,您还能继续使用Internet Explorer 桌面应用程序吗?(Internet Explorer Desktop)
不会。Microsoft不允许此时间线出现例外情况,但您可以利用 Internet Explorer 模式的双引擎优势与(Microsoft)旧网站和(Internet Explorer)Chromium项目兼容,即,您可以访问旧的基于Internet Explorer的旧网站和应用程序以及运行现代网站。

Internet Explorer End Of Life; What it means for businesses?
Internet Explorer survived in the digital space for long (more than two decades) amid stiff competition from its rivals. However, Microsoft has made it clear, the Desktop application will go out of support and be retired on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10. Yes, Internet Explorer is retiring. So, what it means for commercial organizations, IT admins, developers, and end-users. We’ll try to answer these questions in our today’s post.
Internet Explorer End Of Life; What it means for businesses
Launched in 1995, Internet Explorer was the dominant browser on Windows computers until it faced a real challenge from the likes of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Thereafter, people started ditching IE and began switching to newer browsers. Still, many businesses continued to remain dependent on Internet Explorer support for their business-critical apps. Now, the new date has set the final deadline. Here’s what you should know or be aware of.
1] Will the Internet Explorer desktop application be removed from devices?
The very first thought that comes to an IE user’s mind is following this announcement will Internet Explorer 11 desktop application be removed from devices?
Well, that’s not likely to happen since the IE11 engine is required for IE mode to function. However, after the IE11 Desktop application is retired on June 15, 2022, it will be disabled permanently.
2] Will iexplore.exe be removed from devices?
No! However, if a user tries to access it, they will be unable to open IE11 and will be redirected to Microsoft Edge instead.
3] Will the retirement affect my browser default? What if IE is not configured as my default browser?
Again, the answer is in ‘No’. The retirement will only change your browser default if your default had been set to Internet Explorer 11. So, if IE11 is set as your browser default, it will change to Microsoft Edge.
Which platforms will be affected by the IE11 Desktop application retiring on June 15, 2022?
- Internet Explorer 11 Desktop application delivered via the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC)
- Windows 10 client SKUs (version 20H2 and later)
- Windows 10 IoT (version 20H2 and later)
Which platforms will be unaffected?
Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge
- Internet Explorer platform (MSHTML/Trident), including WebOC
- Internet Explorer 11 desktop application on the following versions of Windows – Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU), Windows 8.1, Windows Server SAC (all versions), Windows Server LTSC (all versions), Windows 10 IoT Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) (all versions) and Windows 10 client LTSC (all versions).
4] How will it impact organizations worldwide?
Microsoft says, if your organization has legacy browser dependencies, you’ll need to enable legacy browser support in Microsoft Edge by switching to Internet Explorer mode.
That said, if you have Microsoft Edge already installed, you have automatically cut short the process to help you with migration.
5] What IE functionality is replicated in IE mode of Edge? Does it support Active X controls like Java & Silverlight?
The answer is Yes. IE mode supports all document and enterprise modes, Active X controls (such as Java or Silverlight), and more. You can find a complete list of it on this page.
What functionalities IE mode doesn’t support include, Internet Explorer toolbars, Internet Explorer settings and Group Policies that affect the navigation menu and IE11 or Microsoft Edge F12 developer tools.
Note: Silverlight support ends on October 12, 2021.
6] Will Edge be able to open .mht and .mhtml files that open in Internet Explorer but not in?
Microsoft plans to add .mht and .mhtml file support in Microsoft Edge and IE mode of the browser. You can see it happening, beginning with Microsoft Edge version 92. Make sure to set IE 11 as the default handler for this file type to open in IE mode.
7] What about the developers?
The company makes it clear, apps developed for IE should work in Microsoft Edge through IE mode. If you run into any trouble or experience compatibility issues such as an error loading a site, you can reach out to App Assure for remediation assistance ([email protected]). In the same breath, it also gently reminds developers to create a plan for ending their dependency on Internet Explorer.
8] Can you continue using Internet Explorer Desktop application even after June 15, 2022?
No. Microsoft won’t allow for an exception to this timeline, but you can leverage the dual-engine advantage of Internet Explorer mode for compatibility with legacy websites and the Chromium project i.e., you can access your old legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and applications as well as run modern websites.
