As we know that Microsoft disabled Internet Explorer in Windows 11 so that the Internet Explorer was never supposed to work on Windows 11 precisely because the company disabled its function in the new update.
Even when you try to launch the IE browser in Windows 11, it will automatically open its replacement Microsoft Edge browser. However, a Twitter user got access to the old browser code and released his free access to the new operating system.
A Twitter user named @xenopanther recently discovered and shared a new trick to run Internet Explorer on Windows 11 via a tweet as below;

Use Internet Explorer on Windows 11
Just follow these steps below to use Internet Explorer on Windows 11;
- On your Windows 11 pc, type “Internet options” in the search box on the taskbar and choose Internet Options in the result.
- Select the Programs tab.
- Select the Manage add-ons.
- A new window will open with a link at the bottom, now click on the “Learn more about toolbars and extensions“.
- Note: For some reason, this launches Internet Explorer, bypassing the commands that force you into Edge.
That’s it! it is the simplest way to use Internet Explorer on Windows 11. It is not yet known exactly why, but following these steps, Internet Explorer escapes the commands to access Edge and starts. The browser works exactly as expected and the user will be exposed to all sorts of web incompatibilities and various security issues, precisely because Explorer is no longer supported.
