    How to Install or Uninstall Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) in Windows 7


       Information
    This tutorial will show you how to either install or uninstall Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) to return to Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) for all users in Windows 7.

    You must be logged in as an administrator to be able to install or uninstall IE10.

    For more information about IE10, see:


       Note
    In 32-bit Windows 7, Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) is still only a 32-bit browser.

    In 64-bit Windows 7, Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) has 32-bit and 64-bit together in one browser now. The IE10 browser frame process runs 64-bit, but for compatibility with plug-ins, IE10 runs 32-bit tabs by default. If the user turns on “Enhanced Protected Mode”, they will have 64-bit tabs by default for IE10.

    For more information about 32-bit and 64-bit IE10, see:
    How to Enable 32-bit or 64-bit Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) in Windows 7

       Tip
    Troubleshooting a failed installation of Internet Explorer 10


    EXAMPLE: About Internet Explorer 10 (IE10)
    NOTE: In Internet Explorer, click on Help (Menu bar) and About Internet Explorer to see this. You will notice that the about IE10 is the same whether you open iexplorer.exe from either the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" location.

    OPTION ONE

    To Install IE10 in Windows 7 through Windows Update


    NOTE: If you didn't want to install IE10, then you could hide the "Internet Explorer 10" update to not see it anymore in Windows Update instead.
    1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click on the Windows Update icon.

    2. Check for new Windows Updates. If not already installed, select (check) Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7, click on OK and Install updates. (see screenshot below)

    3. When Windows Update is finished, you will need to restart the computer to finish installing IE10. (see screenshot below)

    To Download a Standalone IE10 .exe File to Install in Windows 7

    NOTE: You can download Internet Explorer 10 in the language that matches your version of Windows or choose the English version, which works with all versions of Windows 7.
       Note
    If you have 64-bit Windows 7, then you need to use the Windows 7 SP1 64-bit installer for IE10.

    If you have 32-bit Windows 7, then you need to use the Windows 7 SP1 32-bit installer for IE10.
    2. If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.

    3. Click on Install to start installing IE10. (see screenshot below)

    OPTION THREE

    To Uninstall IE10 in "View installed updates" Windows 7

    2. In Programs and Features, click on the View installed updates link on the left side. (see screenshot below)

    To Uninstall IE10 in an Elevated Command Prompt

    1. Open an elevated command prompt.

    2. Copy the command below, and close all instances of IE10.

    I installed IE10 with Windows Update. It put an icon in my taskbar that I couldn't get rid of, (to the right, by my pinned Recycle Bin) which I found very annoying. I rarely use IE and don't want it taking up my valuable taskbar real estate.

    One of the Windows Updates failed, so I just ended up restoring my computer to get rid of the IE10 icon in my taskbar. It's gone now, but I was wondering if updating IE9 from the browser would allow me to update it without getting the taskbar icon?

    Or is there some easy way to remove it that I didn't see? (I'm thinking maybe there was a toolbar option that I could have just unchecked - like there is for my recycle bin. I never looked at that while it was installed. I just right-clicked and didn't see any "unpin from taskbar" options.)

    Hello Blue Skies,

    Sorry, but we can only update to IE10 from Windows Update or the standalone .exe like in the tutorial.

    You normally should be able to right click on the pinned IE10 icon on the taskbar, and click on Unpin this program from taskbar like below to remove it from the taskbar.

    If not, then you could use the tutorial below to reset and clear all pinned programs off the taskbar, but you'll have to manually pin any programs you want back afterwards.
    Hope this helps, :)

    Thank you Shawn. I appreciate your response.:) I didn't see the option to unpin it when I had it installed - which I thought was strange.

    Thanks for the second suggestion... I will use that tutorial if I decide to reinstall it.

    Can't Uninstall IE10 on New Windows 7

    Hello Weemus, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Were you looking in View installed updates and not just in Programs and Features?

    If it's a compatibility issue with a website in IE10 for why you would like to go back to IE9, then you might see if having the site in compatibility view may allow it to display and work properly in IE10.

    Hope this helps for now, :)

    If I uninstall IE10, do I need to reinstall IE9 or will my PC automatically revert to normal IE9 operation?
