    uninstalled IE11 and somehow got back to IE8


    so today i finally gave up on Internet Explorer as I came across something I didn't like and all of a sudden when my computer comes back on I am running on IE8 again I don't know how this is even possible as I had IE10 on here before and I also had IE9 as well I did end up running a check for Windows Update and IE9 and 10 were there and i am waiting for it to install I will post an error code if I get one and the requested data I am kind of puzzled though as why it went straight from IE11 to IE8 if anybody thinks they know why it would do this please let me know thanks

    Had you run System Cleanup to remove redundant files? If so, that's probably the reason - it had no other option but to revert to the default.
