Internet Explorer is perhaps the most famous web browser, and to this day remains one of the most popular among users around the world, although in Russia, according to statistics, its position is far from being so strong: being fairly squeezed out by such programs as Google Chrome, Opera Browser, Yandex Browser, Firefox, as well as the increasingly popular Orbitum, most users perceive it only as a mandatory appendage to the operating system.
However, among many consumers and content creators alike, this browser is still relevant for one reason or another.
Updates to the latest version
As you know, many developers software They release updates for their products at different intervals. Most often this is done in connection with the addition of certain program functions, adaptation to new equipment, as well as correction of certain errors. But sometimes situations arise in which the release of a new update is due to the cessation of support from developers of older versions of programs. This is also true for the Internet Explorer browser, which supports older versions by Microsoft was completely completed. In addition, users who do not update their browser are deprived of critical security and compatibility updates for current versions of operating systems.
The latest and most current version of Internet Explorer is v. 11, available to operating room users Windows systems 7, 8.1 and 10 (owners of Windows XP have the opportunity to upgrade to a maximum of the eighth version, which works in Windows environment Vista will have to settle for ninth).
In some cases, the browser receives the latest updates along with updates to Windows itself. This happens when the Automatic Updates option is enabled in Windows Update. In this situation, no action is required from the user, since the most latest version browser is always ready to work. But in situations in which automatic download updates are disabled or there is no permanent Internet connection, you have to update the program manually (often the browser will automatically remind you to download the next update).
Different versions of Windows have different approaches to updating Internet Explorer.
For Windows XP
Any official update It is recommended to download only from the software manufacturer's websites. Firstly, for security reasons, and secondly, for convenience, since on the developers’ web pages the process is laid out step by step and is quite concise. However, in the case of Windows XP, for which official support from Microsoft has been discontinued for several years, this option will not work. It will not be possible to organize the update using your own means. operating system. Therefore, Windows XP users have only two options: search on third-party resources and, at your own peril and risk, necessary actions either use quite tricky way editing the registry and replacing operating system signatures in order to try to update through the Update Center.
Windows Vista
For this operating system, update scripts via Microsoft servers are no longer available to users, but browser version 9 can still be downloaded from the official website.
For 32-bit systems: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=29254
For 64-bit systems: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=43374
After downloading, you need to run the file and follow the installer's instructions.
Windows 7, 8.1, 10
For Win 7, there are two ways to update Internet Explorer.
Via Update Center
If configured automatic update, then you don’t need to do anything, in other cases, in the “Search for updates for your computer” section, you need to click the “Check for updates” button, after which the OS will display a list of available updates, and the user will have the opportunity to select the required ones. In this case, updates that are critical for the security and functionality of the operating system will be marked as “Important”, but in the end the decision is still made by the user himself.
Via the Microsoft download page
You need to go to a special section of the Microsoft website located at https://support.microsoft.com/ru-ru/help/17621/internet-explorer-downloads, then select the version of Windows, and then the corresponding bitness of the operating system installation file(the bit depth can be found in the system properties). With this update method, forced removal of the previous version of the program is not required: the installer will perform all the necessary actions itself.
It should be borne in mind that installing version 11 of Internet Explorer will only be possible for those whose version of WIndows 7 has already been updated to Service Pack 1. If for one reason or another this update is not installed on the system, but the latest version of the browser is needed, the Update Center will help , through which the required files can be downloaded to your computer.
The latest version of the browser is not supported in Win 8. First, you need to upgrade the system to 8.1, and only after that start installing IE 11. Most likely, most users will not have to do anything, since few people were ready to work in the rather controversial Windows 8, and at the first opportunity they upgraded to 8.1. Those who have not done this will still have to update the system to take advantage of all the benefits of the eleventh version of the Microsoft browser (without this, the browser installation simply will not start).
All this is done in several stages.
- You need to launch the Update Center and install everything current updates operating system, marked “Important”. During the installation process, the computer may be restarted several times.
- Once all important updates have been installed, you can begin Windows installation 8.1. This operation is available from the Windows Store.
- Having completed the installation of the Win 8.1 update, the user also receives a fully functional version of the Internet Explorer 11 browser.
- WITH using Windows Update allows you to download and install all available updates both automatically and manually, both for the operating system itself and for the browser.
In Windows 10, the developers initially planned to completely replace the outdated IE, but some compatibility issues forced them, to the delight of many users, not to remove Internet Explorer from the operating system. Therefore at the moment Windows users 10 can use two pre-installed browsers from Microsoft.
Microsoft Edge - latest browser, designed to finally replace the outdated Internet Explorer in the future, but is an integral part of the operating system now.
Internet Explorer itself is in its final eleventh version. All current updates can be obtained using Windows services Update. Moreover, by default in Windows 10, auto-update is always turned on, and it cannot be disabled using the methods familiar to most users.
Hello again friends. Today's conversation will be about how to update Internet Explorer to the latest version. Until recently, this browser was not particularly popular among Internet users, and there were probably certain reasons for this. It often froze, website pages opened extremely slowly, could close itself for no reason, etc. Naturally, this irritated users extremely, and they preferred to use other more convenient and reliable browsers - Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera.
The situation has changed dramatically with the release of version 9 of the Internet Explorer browser. It began to work noticeably faster, and the problems that I wrote about above were also eliminated. All subsequent updates to this browser only improved its performance, and if you take into account the fact that this application is already installed on your system by default, then this browser can compete with more famous competitors.
So, let's look at the process of updating this browser. To begin, launch your Internet Explorer and horizontal menu select Help - About the program.

Save the installation file to your PC and run it.
Important! The Internet Explorer browser must be closed at the time of updating. All settings, as well as bookmarks and history, will remain in place after the update.
After starting the installation process, carefully read the windows that appear and follow the steps written in them. There is nothing complicated in this process, so I will not describe it.
The only thing I want to note is that the installer requires you to restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Reboot your PC and you can launch the updated version of the browser.
When you first start, you can select Internet security settings; I recommend setting them to the ones offered by the browser itself (first point).
That's all friends. Now you know how to update Internet Explorer, and new version you will no longer be bothered by problems related to the speed of loading pages and images, switching between bookmarks, etc. It should be noted that each updated version significantly improves the security of working on the Internet.
That's all for me. See you again!

Internet Explorer 6.0, the final version of the most popular web browser, has been released online for free download everyone
Microsoft has released the final version of the new version of its Web browser Internet Explorer 6.0. As of yesterday, it can be copied for free from the Microsoft website. The same version will be included in the new one OS Windows XP, computers with which will appear at the end of September, and the boxed version will be released on October 25 of this year.
Long before release IE 6.0 has been criticized by the general Internet public because the browser does not support two major competing products that are used on most Web sites on the World Wide Web: language Java programming and built-in plug-ins from third-party manufacturers. The removal of automatic plugin support means that some programs, including the media player QuickTime made by Apple will not work by default unless website developers meet Microsoft halfway. Therefore, IE 6.0 users will need to download special patches to view Web pages that use Java programs or QuickTime clips.
Microsoft claims that the refusal to support "foreign" technologies was done to strengthen the browser's security system, and everyone else believes that this the Microsoft way clears space for its technologies (for example, Windows Media Player instead of QuickTime and ActiveX instead of Sun Java).
IE 6.0 has more functionality than previous versions and has several innovations designed to surprise the user. Microsoft has removed a number of controversial features from the browser that, in the opinion of testers, gave the company “too much power over the Web.” Among such functions are SmartTags, transforming keywords on a web page into hyperlinks to Microsoft "approved" content. Tags made it possible to click on words and terms to go to explanatory information, which was stored, of course, on Microsoft sites. On the recommendation of testers, functions have also been excluded from the browser Personal Bar And Contacts.
IE 6.0 will support the privacy standard P3P(Platform for Privacy Preferences), allowing the user to “unsubscribe” from downloading cookies (small pieces of data about the history of requests given user to a given WWW server, they are automatically created by the server on the user’s machine) from some types of servers. Users will be able to choose from five settings to expand the ability to determine servers from which cookies should not be downloaded. IE6 can be installed under any Windows version, but not earlier than Win95.
