Microsoft is ending support for Internet Explorer mode in Edge

Internet Explorer’s last foothold on modern Windows now has an expiration date.

Microsoft is reminding IT administrators that Internet Explorer mode in its Edge browser, the only remaining way to run IE’s rendering engine on current versions of Windows, will be supported through at least the end of 2029, according to gHacks Tech News. The notice, posted in the Microsoft 365 admin center under message ID MC1473151, tells organizations that still depend on IE-only applications to start planning their migrations now.

According to gHacks, the company has committed to announcing an end-of-support date at least a year before it takes effect. The early warning is to give admins time to rebuild or replace internal software, which can take years.
