Internet Explorer was never supposed to function on Microsoft’s latest operating system. Windows 11 was pre-installed with the disabling of the dated browser.

Internet Explorer can work on Windows 11 thanks to XenoPanther, a Twitter user.
There’s an antiquated Internet setting feature buried deep within Windows. In just a few easy steps, you can have Internet Explorer up and running:
- Open the Start/Search option on your computer.
- Type/search Internet options.
- Get into the Control Panel.
- Go to the Programs tab.
- Select Manage add-ons.
- Select Learn more about toolbars and extensions option.

The market share of Microsoft Edge climbed with the demise of Internet Explorer. Edge’s share of the market climbed from 10.12 percent to 10.64 percent in June 2022, even if the growth may have been unrelated. Despite its current position as the runner-up, Microsoft’s browser is still well behind Google Chrome in terms of popularity. In June 2022, Chrome has a market share of 66.93 percent, which has remained stable for a long period.
