As of yesterday, June 15, 2022, Internet Explorer is retired and is officially out of support.

Impact on Users

• Devices will be progressively redirected from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge. The Internet Explorer icon may still appear on devices, but Microsoft Edge will open instead when launched.
• Microsoft plans to disable Internet Explorer permanently as part of a future Windows Update, at which point Internet Explorer icons will be removed from devices.

How to Prepare

• To ensure a smooth transition, not all devices will be redirected at the same time. However, if you use Internet Explorer, please begin moving to other platforms, including Microsoft Edge.
• User data like favorites, passwords, and settings will be imported from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge.
• If you visit any sites that need Internet Explorer, you can still access them with Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge.

Mason-managed Devices

ITS will begin progressively disabling Internet Explorer from Mason-managed computers on Tuesday, July 5. Once Internet Explorer has been disabled on your managed device, when Internet Explorer is launched, you will be automatically redirected to Microsoft Edge.
