How to determine the version of Internet Explorer for Windows

To determine the version of Internet Explorer, use any of the following methods:

In all versions of Internet Explorer, select About Internet Explorer on the Help menu. The product and version information are displayed in the dialog box that appears.

Use the registry. You can determine the version of Internet Explorer by viewing the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Refer to svcVersion value in this key. The version string value contains the version number of Internet Explorer that is installed on your computer. (For example, the version string value for Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 version 2004 is 11.630.19041.0). Only one zero is stored in the registry for the minor version number if the minor version number is 00. If the minor version number isn’t 00, the full version value is stored.

• The minor version number, build number, and subbuild number may be displayed without trailing zeros. For example, version 7.00.5730.1100 may be displayed as 7.0.5730.11.
• The version numbers of Internet Explorer in the list are based on the versions of Windows. The list numbers might be changed by the latest hotfix.
• Determine the version of Internet Explorer by using a script.

All versions of Internet Explorer send version information in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) user agent information header. This information can be read from script on a webpage.

Webpage developers can use this information to take advantage of new features in later versions of Internet Explorer, such as HTTP Strict Transport Security in Internet Explorer 11.0. They can also downgrade for earlier versions of Internet Explorer that don’t support these features.

How to Open Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10

Internet Explorer 11 is on your Windows 10 computer, it’s just hidden

What to Know

• Easiest way: Type Internet Explorer into the Search box and then select it to launch the browser.
• Or, if you have Cortana enabled, say, «Hey, Cortana,» and then say, «Open Internet Explorer.»
• For easy access, pin IE to the taskbar: Type Internet Explorer into the Search box. Right-click on it and select Pin to taskbar.

This article explains how to open and use Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10 if you don’t want to use Edge. Methods include locating IE11 through search or the file manager, using Cortana to launch IE11, or pinning IE11 to your Start menu or taskbar for easy access.

Locate IE11 Through Search or the File Manager

Here’s the easiest way to launch Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10:

Move your mouse to the taskbar and click the Type here to search box.

You can press the Windows key instead.

Type Internet Explorer.

Select Internet Explorer when it appears.

Internet Explorer will launch, and you can browse the web using the same experience you remember from Windows 8 and 8.1.

Edge will still be the default browser, so you will have to manually open Internet Explorer 11 each time you want to use it.

How to Open Internet Explorer 11 With Cortana

If you have Cortana enabled, there’s an easier way to launch Internet Explorer in Windows 10.

Say, «Hey, Cortana.»

Say, «Open Internet Explorer.»

As long as Cortana is set up correctly, and can understand the command, Internet Explorer opens as soon as you ask.

Pin Internet Explorer to the Taskbar for Easy Access

While opening Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10 isn’t difficult, pinning it to the taskbar is a good idea if you plan to use it regularly. This allows you to launch the program any time you want by clicking an icon on the taskbar.

Move the mouse to the taskbar and click the Type here to search box.

You can press the Windows key instead.

Type Internet Explorer.

Right-click Internet Explorer when it appears.

Select Pin to taskbar.

Click Pin to Start if you want an Internet Explorer icon in the Start menu.

Since you don’t need to uninstall Edge to use Internet Explorer, you can go back to Edge if you change your mind. There’s no way to uninstall either Edge or Internet Explorer 11. It is possible, however, to change the default browser from Edge to something else.

If you want to change the default browser, you can go with Internet Explorer. However, installing an alternate browser, like Firefox or Chrome, is an option. Unlike Internet Explorer 11 and Edge, these other browsers aren’t included with Windows 10 by default.

The Chromium-powered Edge browser is worth trying out if you have had poor experiences with the original Edge. This flexible browser runs better than the original since it’s packing Chromium under the hood, just like Chrome and Brave. Microsoft recommends against using Internet Explorer 11 for general daily web browsing due to security issues.
