　The support of the Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) desktop application on Windows 10 will be discontinued on June 15, 2022.Perhaps because of that, Windows 11 does not originally have IE 11 and cannot be used basically.Looking into "C: Program Files (X86) Internet Explorer", "IEXPLORE".There is "EXE", but even if you try to start by double -clicking, you will be redirected (transferred) to "Microsoft Edge".

Microsoft announced the end of the support of "Internet Explorer 11", the grace period is about 1 year, until June 15, 2022

　However, the only abolished "desktop application" of IE 11, that is, the outside.The core component (COM component) is left as it is to maintain compatibility.IE components are used internally in various apps (such as "IE mode" of "Edge"), so if you delete it suddenly, there will be a large amount of applications that will not move.

　Using this, "Qiita" introduces the method of launching IE 11 in Windows 11, which should have been abolished.

　The gimmick is simple, just call the IE component with a script (the following example is vbscript).Write the following code in the text file and ".If you save with an extension called "VBS", double click will launch IE.

CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true

　According to the "Hatena Bookmark" on this page, "PowerShell" can do the same (in short, IE components can be called)."The following code".Save it with an extension called PS1, and execute it with the [Run in PowerShell] command in the right -click menu.

$app = New-Object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application; $app.Visible = $true

　However, there is no guarantee that Microsoft will leave this method forever.Don't be ate, just remember it as a solution in case of trouble.Don't think about making IE 11 a default web browser if you make a mistake.Transfer to a "alive" browser quietly.
