How long can I use Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)?
Microsoft’s support for Internet Explorer (hereinafter referred to as IE) ended on June 16, 2022 (Japan time).
After the end of support, from the time specified by Microsoft, IE will be changed so that Microsoft Edge will start when you try to launch it (※ 1).
Therefore, content created to work only with IE will no longer be viewable in IE (※ 2).
Users and providers of IE content are required to take immediate measures, such as migrating to other browsers or modifying content.
※ 1 Windows Update must be performed properly. IE11 was completely disabled by Windows Update in February 2023.
