Microsoft is committed to support Internet Explorer that way to 2030 at least, with one year's notice before it is discontinued. Internet Explorer 11 will not be supported on any editions of Windows 11, as a separate application, but it is supported, as IE mode in Edge, including on Windows 11. In May 2021, Microsoft announced that support for Internet Explorer 11 on editions of Windows 10 that are not in the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) will end on June 15, 2022. On August 17, 2020, Microsoft published a timeline indicating that the Microsoft Teams product would stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 on November 30, 2020, and Microsoft 365 products would end Internet Explorer 11 support on August 17, 2021. This means that there is no date for end of support for Internet Explorer 11. Internet Explorer 11 follows the OS component lifecycle, which means it remains supported with technical and security fixes while operating systems including it as a component are shipped. It is the only supported version of Internet Explorer on these operating systems since January 31, 2020. Internet Explorer 11 was made available for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard in April 2019. Support for Internet Explorer 11 is bound to the lifecycle of the Windows version it is installed on as it is considered an OS component, thus it is unsupported on Windows 7 due to the end of extended support on January 14, 2020. On Windows 7 and 8.1, only Internet Explorer 11 received security updates until the end of those Windows versions' support lifecycles. Since January 12, 2016, only the most recent version of Internet Explorer offered for installation on any given Windows operating system is supported with security updates, lasting until the end of the support lifecycle for that Windows operating system. Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 are out of any version of Internet Explorer completely. It is also the default browser in Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019. IE11 was also included with the release of Windows 10 on July 29, 2015, but Microsoft Edge is the default browser in this version of Windows, and there, Internet Explorer is configured to run websites based on legacy HTML technologies. Windows Vista and earlier are not supported. It is the successor to Internet Explorer 10, released the previous year, and was the default browser in Windows 8.1 (later default was Microsoft Edge) and Windows Server 2012 R2.

IE11 was included with the release of Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 on October 17, 2013, and was released for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 on November 7, 2013. It was released by Microsoft on October 17, 2013. Internet Explorer 11 ( IE11) is the eleventh, final, and now deprecated version of the Internet Explorer web browser.
