Then IE10 and its updates were pushed out via WSUS. On those machines when I uninstalled IE11 it reverted back to IE9. This coincided with a complete revamp of WSUS for the whole organization so about 11 machines mysteriously got IE11. My observation was based on the fact that we were using IE9 across the board, but decided to upgrade to IE10. I was somewhat guessing as to if any of my suggestions would work for you. I appreciate M$ throwing up warnings that I should really be using IE 11 - just don't delete the danged pages when I am positive I need what I say I do! I mean, sure - who wants to willingly use IE 9? But that doesn't mean that sometimes in fringe scenarios that it's still a requirement. For an example of what I mean, follow these steps that I did:Ģ) Select "Download Internet Explorer 9", and click Next.ģ) Select either of the only options, which are Vista/Server 2008 versions.Ĥ) Expand the option for Additional Information, and try clicking on any of the links for Win 7 or Server 2008 R2. I'm telling you though - M$'s apparent decision to flat-out delete the IE9 download pages? THAT is sketchy. I did not think to try manually removing all IE 11 & 10 updates from the machine, thus effectively downgrading to IE 9 - I'll have to play with that on the next unit, that might be a good alternative method. (And WSUS did not think the machine needs any installs afterwards, as removing IE made any IE installs or rollups not applicable.) I did initially try to remove IE 11 from "Windows Features" (boy is that a misnomer.) but that simply removed IE entirely. Hmmm, I'll have to give this a try with a test unit. If 9 then good, but if 8 and you can't find the 9 installer then you could use WSUS to go back up to 9. That would bump you down to either 9 or 8. If you are already on 10/11 you can uninstall 10 and or 11 from the Installed Updates in Programs and Features.
