She is computer cballenged, so I will set her up with a differnt browser. What version of windowV 10 Pro do you have? I have Windows 10 Pro version 2004 19041.388 and internet explorer is still functional. Rene Interesting.... I have the same version. I suspect one of the quality updates pulled it. Only the iexplore executable was removed. from each of the program folders (932bit and 64bit) The two IE program folders are otherwise intact. iexplore.exe doesn't exist anywhere on this computer. I also note that in Settings APS defaults, the choice for Internet Explorer has been replace by Edge. So, now Edge is listed twice. The first is annotated as recommended. The second has no notation. Choose either one and get Edge. Oh well, I use Google, sp all that doesn't affect me. But, my curiosity lingers. Ben Does this sequence still work on your machine ? Right-click Start : Run : control Programs and Features (control panel) Windows Features Check that Internet Explorer 11 tick box is still ticked The "removal" of IE11 does not remove the folder, because some part of that folder may still be in usage. The Internet Explorer 11 tick box in Windows Features, normally controls "iexplore.exe" . If the Internet Explorer line is removed in Windows Features, that would be a sign the removal is permanent. Paul Hi Paul, Jut out of curiousity, would "sfc /scannow" recover it? Or only things in the Widows directory? -T SFC is mainly C:\Windows directory related. It really should not be wandering about C:\Program Files. And "Internet Explorer" is in both C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86). It's the poster boy for providing both options for bitness. On a 32-bit OS, only C:\Program Files exists and the x86 version would be in there. Paul Dang. It was a long shot. Maybe one of those in place re-installs you taught me then? I don't know where the Windows Features things hide. It would be interesting to install a standalone IE11 and see if it sticks. Paul |

I'm guessing they're probably like the "scientific" research you found that shows wearing masks is a commie plot. 1) I provided cites to Randomized Clinical Trial (RTC's). You did not. I used the scientific method. You did not. the cites *you* provided clearly state that masks are helpful, which means you don't understand any of the science you think you do. There is no room for religion or political correctness in science. yet that's exactly what you do. "So and so said such and such" does not cut it. it does when they're well respected scientists. 2) I never once called the mask crowd a "commie plot". I have called the mask crowd "Lysenkoists" though, as they follow political correctness and do not follow actual science. yet another example of how you politicize everything and ignore actual science. I call covid the "commie flu" because it came from a bioweapons lab in COMMUNIST China and said Left Wingers lied to the world about it, especially though WHO. no it very definitely did not. that is nothing more than yet another lunatic fringe wacko conspiracy theory. Please do not misrepresent me. don't misrepresent the facts, to the point of outright lying. |

But maybe they don't work on Windows 10. Only if the download link says it's specifically for Windows 10, would I waste the time on it. A file *could* have been available, if it was delivered as a KBxxxxxx IE Cumulative Patch. But it's likely Windows 10 didn't do that, so they're not "exposed" that way. The old MSEdge is an App from the App Store. The new ChromEdge could be constructed any old way. It could be an App or a Win32. Even if you find an EXE, it'll take a bit of effort to see whether it's a real Win32 or a fake "manifest" type EXE that doesn't really launch the conventional way (the screen blinks if you double-click it). If you thought this was "odds n' sods" day, no it's not. Less junk for the trunk. Paul |

Authenticity can be established by certificates and signatures. And using SHA2 these days. But what of delivery vehicles ? Does it only work if it's in a BITS folder ? Does BITS need a recent entry to "prove" it was downloaded ? There's got to be some other details regarding using whatever comes from the above. Paul |
