Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10 support ends on January 12, 2016

Nah, my bad. I should know that only my wife of 40 years can read my mind...

...or understand, appreciate or tolerate my warped humor.

Regards,

Thanks for the update. I was running happily with IE9 but upgraded to IE11.
No probs except it put a nag icon on taskbar about W10. I couldn't get rid of it until I found:
View attachment 379316 Worked like a champ. All is well on the western front.
Thanks again.

Yikes 10 nag is included in ie11 now

No doubt it proved too difficult for them to add the nagware to IE8, IE9 & IE10, and thus those versions need to be eliminated.

I have not confirmed that it does I'm waiting for the new round of updates to re-image before i see for my self
Never know though :/
I'm still on ie10 and using pale moon 64 for the most part still

I'll probably have to install Chrome on my gaming rig though darn on line only games :mad2:
Already did install it in win-10 pro just a little while ago not on the win-7 side yet though.

Same here except that I almost never start IE10.

TZ; That might have to do with Bd's lack of other updates.

And that's not all. After download, installing and updating IE11 I got an M$ update msg today to
install 53MB of accumulated updates.

I was offered IE11 last Summer but hid it until I heard over the holidays about the end of support for 10. I unhid and installed IE11 and saw no 'W10 nags'. We use IE because the wife needs it for work.

I'm in the 'check, but let me decide' camp, I have 8 or 9, 10? related to W10, GWX, and others still hidden.
My last check for updates was at 06:23am est today, "all's quiet" so far for this 'Patch Tuesday'! When do they come out? 7am Pacific time?

Hello Foks ,

I was offered only 1 security update this morning the 12 the of Jan, I expected a whole load to be honest and nowI have just gone back to have a look if there's more and this new one has vanished like snow in the sun, strange

Who cares, the less updates the better

But I too only got 1 MSE update, yay

Not so sure
I just installed ie11 and for a 54mb file it has hung up installing on restart so it's obviously doing more than simply installing ie11
Now hung for 15 minutes :/
30 more minutes and it could of downloaded win-10

I don't know then, there are so many variables, my IE11 install didn't hang.
What I dislike is how long it takes for microsoft's servers to download the updates. Is there a registry or other config change that can be made to use a different server instead of the one your stuck with when using windows updates (WU)?

My January patches went okay except for the download/install time that seems to take forever, I start the process then walk away and work at something else around the house, come back in a half an hour and I'm ready for a restart. Any other 101MB download site would only take me about 2 maybe 3 minutes, not 15 to 20 through WU.
Yes, I do understand the millions of machines banging on the update servers at one time, but there's gotta be a better way.

Thelma, I have noticed that if I leave my MSE definition updates alone they will install themselves. It is the only behaviour that I do not mind even though I am in the 'Check, but let me decide' camp.



Check in: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\View update history, you should see blocks of MSE updates with descending version numbers.

Thanks Anak, then I understand it, looks the same on my machine

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep I bailed out and restored a system image after 45 minutes of preparing your system don't power off...:/
Oh well back to ie10

 

[Anak]

You're welcome Thelma.

TZ, a couple of items you may want to check,

• See if you need any of these: https://Prerequisite updates for Internet Explorer 11 | support.microsoft.com | kb/2847882 Here is my post about requisites: Post #25 | Millions of Internet Explorer users must update, or lose patches

• And try turning off any 'real-time' protection from your three antivirus programs especially mbam pro, I had a horrible time with it slowing down processes on my machine, you may even have to disable any or all three. I tried a 'trial' of mbam pro and it tripled my startup and shutdown times, when I removed it and went back to mbam free/on demand, everything returned to normal.

It loaded the second time so it's all good
Not that I plan on using ie11.

 

[Anak]

That's good to hear!

 

[ThrashZone]

ie11 has been on and off this system a dozen times
This was the only weird install.
