Microsoft warns Internet Explorer will be dead for good in 2029
Internet Explorer has spent years refusing to stay dead, but Microsoft is now preparing to pull the plug on the browser’s final lifeline.
Internet Explorer is a web browser for PC that launched in August 2022. The release marked Microsoft's formal shutdown of the aging browser, which had become largely obsolete as users migrated to modern alternatives like Edge. However, Internet Explorer has proven difficult to fully retire - the company has needed to maintain extended support for legacy systems and enterprise users reliant on the software. Microsoft recently confirmed that Internet Explorer will reach complete end-of-life in 2029, finally severing all remaining technical support and security updates.
