How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 9

Information

This will show you how to Uninstall Internet Explorer 9.
You can find Internet Explorer 9 here.

Warning

Be Careful!

Make sure you revert any/all customizations made to Internet Explorer 9 prior to uninstalling it to prevent any issues from occuring.

Step 1: Open the Start Menu, then type View Installed Updates and press enter.

Step 2: Search for Windows Internet Explorer 9 in the list, and double click on it.
NOTE: It could take a moment for the entire list to load.

Step 3: Click on Yes when prompted to uninstall it or not. It should start uninstalling it then.

Step 4: Once you have completed step 3, click on the Uninstall a program link in the left pane.

Step 5: Look for Feedback Tool in the list of installed programs, then double click on it to uninstall it.
NOTE: Feedback Tool will only be listed if you currently have the IE9 RC or IE9 Beta installed. If you installed the IE9 RTM final version, then this is removed during the installation of the IE9 RTM.

Once you've done that, you are finished!

It leaves the feedback tool installed after IE9 being uninstalled. Might want to add that in there.

Forgot about that (probably since it hardly works to begin with). Thank you for pointing it out Aaron.

I installed IE9 RTM and now want to remove it and return to IE8.

I followed the instructions up to point 2. ( Wasn't very far was it.) I couldn't find Internet Explorer in the list presented. There are no restore point shown in System Restore other than a Windows Update dated today.

What should I try now?

Hello jsquareg,

Could you post a screenshot of your View Installed Updates window showing what you have listed in it?

When you installed IE9 RTM, did it finish installing and was working properly afterwards?

Thank you Brink.

I was using View Installed Updates from within Programs and Features. When I typed View Installed Updates in the Start Menu's search box I found IE9 and was able to uninstall it. Go figure!

Great news jsquareg. It sounds like you may not have clicked on the "View installed updates" link while in "Programs and Features". It's the only thing I can think of for why you did not see it previously.
