| 1363857 | 2013-12-29 16:04:00 | A couple of times a day Internet Explorer wants to upgrade me to Internet Explorer 11. So I go to Help "About Internet Explorer" and it says Internet Explorer 11 and upgrade automaticly with a check in the checkbox that I can't remove. Is there anything I can do about this except upgrade which I don't want to do because if anything can go wrong it will and it works. | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1363858 | 2013-12-29 18:23:00 | As a web developer, I say upgrade. ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1363859 | 2013-12-29 18:34:00 | As a normal user I say upgrade. Contrary to the opinion of some upgrades are introduced to solve problems and make things better not visa versa. If you are really worried just make a restore point before upgrading so in the unlikely event it all goes pear shaped you can easily go back in time. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1363860 | 2013-12-29 20:35:00 | Upgrades are introduced to solve problems and make things better from the point of view of the developers and their marketing team... doesn't mean it will *actually* end up better. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

Microsoft do make a tool that will block it from installing, as it will install via windows updates anyway www.microsoft.com Read the install instructions, you need to do some command prompts. You can also install it without any fear -- Simply make a restore point first, then install it, if you don't want it, go into the control panel/ programs and Features / Turn windows features on /Off untick IE 11 and reboot, OR go into the installed updates, locate IE11, uninstall it, OR run system restore back to the point you created previously and its gone (keep in mind running restore will also remove any other changes/programs you have made since that time). |
