The Web browser has become a jack of all trades and its defining computing for us as we spend more time online. The significant quantity of my time is spent in the browser these days, whether its e-mail, social networking, watching videos, consuming information or productivity using services such as Office Web Apps. The web browser has changed dramatically over the past 15 years, it has moved from this niche thing that was once a second class citizen to activities such as Word processors, spreadsheets to a driving force of computing. This week Microsoft introduced us to a new experience, a new way of enjoying the web, the beauty of it specifically. Ransomware attacks are hitting universities. We made it to Friday! I hope everyone gets a little downtime this weekend and recharges but before then, let's jump into today's Snap!


#MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 9 DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE#
My observation was based on the fact that we were using IE9 across the board, but decided to upgrade to IE10. I was somewhat guessing as to if any of my suggestions would work for you. I appreciate M$ throwing up warnings that I should really be using IE 11 - just don't delete the danged pages when I am positive I need what I say I do!

I mean, sure - who wants to willingly use IE 9? But that doesn't mean that sometimes in fringe scenarios that it's still a requirement. For an example of what I mean, follow these steps that I did:Ģ) Select "Download Internet Explorer 9", and click Next.ģ) Select either of the only options, which are Vista/Server 2008 versions.Ĥ) Expand the option for Additional Information, and try clicking on any of the links for Win 7 or Server 2008 R2. I'm telling you though - M$'s apparent decision to flat-out delete the IE9 download pages? THAT is sketchy. I did not think to try manually removing all IE 11 & 10 updates from the machine, thus effectively downgrading to IE 9 - I'll have to play with that on the next unit, that might be a good alternative method. (And WSUS did not think the machine needs any installs afterwards, as removing IE made any IE installs or rollups not applicable.)

I did initially try to remove IE 11 from "Windows Features" (boy is that a misnomer.) but that simply removed IE entirely. Hmmm, I'll have to give this a try with a test unit. If 9 then good, but if 8 and you can't find the 9 installer then you could use WSUS to go back up to 9. That would bump you down to either 9 or 8. If you are already on 10/11 you can uninstall 10 and or 11 from the Installed Updates in Programs and Features.
