Special notes
- Internet Explorer is end of life on June 14, 2022 for Semi-Annual channel Windows installs (Home, Pro, Education, Enterprise, Workstations editions), regardless of their accompanying operating system’s life cycle.
- Internet Explorer 11 is supported on LTSB, LTSC and Server for their appropriate operating system’s life cycle, including ESU. For exceptions to this see Microsoft’s documentation.
- End of life date for Internet Explorer 11 on non semi-annual channel Windows installs is based on the end of life date of Windows Server 2022’s extended end date. But if the operating system that Internet Explorer 11 is installed on loses support prior to this then your installation is unsupported.
