Note
Internet Explorer 11 is included with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2. Therefore, you don't have to install Internet Explorer 11 on these operating systems.
For more information about the minimum operating system requirements for Internet Explorer 11, see System requirements for Internet Explorer 11.
Make sure that you have prerequisite updates installed
During the installation process, you may receive the following error message:
Internet Explorer needs an update before installing.
Internet Explorer 11 tries to install required software and components automatically. If this installation fails, Internet Explorer stops the installation process. In this situation, you must install the prerequisite software manually before you can install Internet Explorer 11.
For more information, see Prerequisite updates for Internet Explorer 11 to obtain the prerequisite updates for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7.
Additionally, you may review the IE11_main.log file under the Windows folder (for example, C:Windows) to find out what prerequisite update is not installed correctly.
Make sure that your video card driver is compatible
Some computers that have hybrid video adapters are not yet compatible with Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7. Internet Explorer 11 will not install on these systems until updated hardware drivers are installed. For more information about this issue, see Internet Explorer 11 does not install on some hybrid graphics systems.
Make sure that the installation of other updates is complete
Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 cannot automatically install prerequisites if any update installation is in progress or if a system restart is pending. To check whether you have an ongoing update installation or a pending restart in Windows 7, follow these steps:
- Open Control Panel.

- Click Windows Update.
If you have ongoing activity, do the following before you try to install Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7, as appropriate:
- If an update installation is in progress, let that installation finish.
- If all updates are installed but a system restart is pending, restart your computer.
Make sure that you use the correct installer version
You have to use the correct installer version for your operating system version. See How can I tell if my computer is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows? to determine whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Then, download the correct Internet Explorer 11 installer for your system version. To do this, go to Download Internet Explorer 11 (Offline installer), and then locate the download file for 32-bit systems or 64-bit systems, as appropriate.

Update Internet Explorer 11
This issue occurs when the custom text size (DPI) on your computer is set to a value that is larger than the default value. To work around this issue, you can follow the steps in change the size of text in Windows 10 to set the custom text size (DPI) back to Smaller - 100%. Or, you may uninstall Internet Explorer 11 temporarily.
Installing a localized version of Internet Explorer 11
You can install Internet Explorer 11 in your localized environment by using either the English version of the installer or a supported language version of the installer for your localized environment.
If you don't use the English version of the Internet Explorer 11 installer, make sure that the language version of the installer matches the active language of your operating system. If the language versions don't match, Internet Explorer 11 stops the installation. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
Wrong version of Internet Explorer installer.
For example, you experience a language mismatch if you try to install a Spanish version of Internet Explorer 11 on a computer that is running the Catalan-localized version of Windows. Although Spanish is the base language for the Catalan Language Interface Pack (LIP) language, you must use the specific Catalan version of the Internet Explorer 11 installer in this environment.
To install Internet Explorer 11 in your active language, download the correct Internet Explorer 11 installer for your operating system version. To do this, go to Download Internet Explorer 11 (Offline installer), and then locate the download file for 32-bit systems or 64-bit systems, as appropriate.
Note
This information applies only to non-English versions of the Internet Explorer 11 installer. If you use the English version of the installer in a supported non-English environment, the installation process continues in English, but the installed program will match your operating system language.
Temporarily disabling antispyware and antivirus software
Warning
This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround, but we are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
If you choose to temporarily disable antispyware or antivirus software before you install Internet Explorer 11, follow these steps:
Turn on Windows Firewall.
Disable the antispyware and antivirus software on your computer. To do this, right-click the icon for the antispyware or antivirus software in the notification area, and then click Exit or Disable.
After the antispyware or antivirus software is disabled, try to install Internet Explorer.
After the Internet Explorer installation is finished, re-enable the antispyware and antivirus software that you disabled.
Go to Windows Update to install the latest updates for the program and for your system.
Reinstalling Internet Explorer 11
If you try to reinstall Internet Explorer 11 after you recently uninstalled the program, the installation process may not be successful. This issue may occur because the system has not finished removing temporary setup files that are required for the initial installation of the program. If this issue occurs, we recommend that you wait 20 minutes before you try to reinstall Internet Explorer 11.

The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022. For a list of what’s in scope, see the FAQ. The same IE11 apps and sites you use today can open in Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode. Learn more here.
Internet Explorer 11 makes browsing the web faster, easier, safer, and more reliable than ever. To help customers become more secure and up-to-date, Microsoft will distribute Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates and the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites. Internet Explorer 11 will be available for users of the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This article provides an overview of the delivery process and options available for IT administrators to control how and when Internet Explorer 11 is deployed to their organization through Automatic Updates.
Automatic updates delivery process
Internet Explorer 11 only downloads and installs if it’s available for delivery through Automatic Updates; and Automatic Updates only offer Internet Explorer 11to users with local administrator accounts. User’s without local administrator accounts won’t be prompted to install the update and will continue using theircurrent version of Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer 11 replaces Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10. If you decide you don’t want Internet Explorer 11, and you’re running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, you can uninstall it from the View installed updates section of the Uninstall an update page of the Control Panel.
Note
If a user installs Internet Explorer 11 and then removes it, it won’t be re-offered to that computer through Automatic Updates. Instead, the user will have to manually re-install the app.
Internet Explorer 11 automatic upgrades
Internet Explorer 11 is offered through Automatic Updates and Windows Update as an Important update. Users running Windows 7 SP1, who have chosen to download and install updates automatically through Windows Update, are automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11.
Users who were automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11 can decide to uninstall Internet Explorer 11. However, Internet Explorer 11 will still appear as an optional update through Windows Update.
Options for blocking automatic delivery
If you use Automatic Updates in your company, but want to stop your users from automatically getting Internet Explorer 11, do one of the following:
Download and use the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit. Includes a Group Policy template and a script that permanently blocks Internet Explorer 11 from being offered by Windows Update or Microsoft Update as a high-priority update. You can download this kit from the Microsoft Download Center.
Note
The toolkit won't stop users with local administrator accounts from manually installing Internet Explorer 11. Using this toolkit also prevents your users from receiving automatic upgrades from Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 to Internet Explorer 11. For more information, see the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit frequently asked questions.
Use an update management solution to control update deployment.If you already use an update management solution, like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or the more advanced Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, you should use that instead of the Internet Explorer Blocker Toolkit.
Note
If you use WSUS to manage updates, and Update Rollups are configured for automatic installation, Internet Explorer will automatically install throughout your company. This scenario is discussed in detail in the Knowledge Base article here.
Additional information on Internet Explorer 11, including a Readiness Toolkit, technical overview, in-depth feature summary, and Internet Explorer 11 download is available on the Internet Explorer 11 page of the Microsoft Edge IT Center.
Availability of Internet Explorer 11
Automatic Updates will start to distribute Internet Explorer 11 shortly after the final release of the product and will distribute it through the Microsoft Endpoint Manager and WSUS.
Prevent automatic installation of Internet Explorer 11 with WSUS
Internet Explorer 11 will be released to WSUS as an Update Rollup package. Therefore, if you’ve configured WSUS to “auto-approve” Update Rollup packages, it’ll be automatically approved and installed. To stop Internet Explorer 11 from being automatically approved for installation, you need to:
Windows Update 9c48 Internet Explorer 11 Already Installed
Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click MicrosoftWindows Server Update Services 3.0.
Expand ComputerName, and then click Options.
Click Automatic Approvals.
Click the rule that automatically approves an update that is classified asUpdate Rollup, and then click Edit.
Note
If you don’t see a rule like this, you most likely haven’t configured WSUS to automatically approve Update Rollups for installation. In this situation, you don’t have to do anything else.
Click the Update Rollups property under the Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value) section.
Note
The properties for this rule will resemble the following:
- When an update is in Update Rollups
- Approve the update for all computers
Clear the Update Rollup check box, and then click OK.
Click OK to close the Automatic Approvals dialog box.
After the new Internet Explorer 11 package is available for download, you should manually synchronize the new package to your WSUS server, so that when you re-enable auto-approval it won’t be automatically installed.
Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0.
Expand ComputerName, and then click Synchronizations.
Click Synchronize Now.
Expand ComputerName, expand Updates, and then click All Updates.
Choose Unapproved in the Approval drop down box.
Check to make sure that Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is listed as an unapproved update.
Note
There may be multiple updates, depending on the imported language and operating system updates.
Optional
If you need to reset your Update Rollups packages to auto-approve, do this:
Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0.
Expand ComputerName, and then click Options.
Click Automatic Approvals.
Click the rule that automatically approves updates of different classifications, and then click Edit.
Click the Update Rollups property under the Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value) section.
Check the Update Rollups check box, and then click OK.
Click OK to close the Automatic Approvals dialog box.
Note
Internet Explorer Update For Windows 10 Free
Because auto-approval rules are only evaluated when an update is first imported into WSUS, turning this rule back on after the Internet Explorer 11 update has been imported and synchronized to the server won’t cause this update to be auto-approved.
