As you can see, everything went well. Now you have the most modern web browser from Microsoft installed, and nothing stops you from starting to explore World Wide Web right now. Welcome to the "beautiful Internet"!

Hello again friends. Today's conversation will be about how to update Internet Explorer to the latest version. Until recently, this browser was not particularly popular among Internet users, and there were probably certain reasons for this. It often froze, website pages opened extremely slowly, could close itself for no reason, etc. Naturally, this irritated users extremely, and they preferred to use other more convenient and reliable browsers - Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera.

The situation has changed dramatically with the release of version 9 of the Internet Explorer browser. It began to work noticeably faster, and the problems that I wrote about above were also eliminated. All subsequent updates to this browser only improved its performance, and if you take into account the fact that this application is already installed on your system by default, then this browser can compete with more famous competitors.

So let's look at the update process of this browser. To begin, launch your Internet Explorer and horizontal menu select Help - About the program.

In the window that appears, make sure that the checkbox next to Install new versions automatically is checked. If there is no such checkbox, be sure to check it. Now all updates to your browser will be installed automatically.

Option 2. If there is no item in your browser automatic installation updates, you need to go to the official website, manually download the update package and install it on your computer.

Let's get started.

Don't forget to uncheck the box next to Search Bing and MSN by default.

Save the installation file to your PC and run it.

Important! The Internet Explorer browser must be closed at the time of updating. All settings, as well as bookmarks and history, will remain in place after the update.

After starting the installation process, carefully read the windows that appear and follow the steps written in them. There is nothing complicated in this process, so I will not describe it.

The only thing I want to note is that the installer requires you to restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Reboot your PC and you can launch the updated version of the browser.

When you first start, you can select Internet security settings; I recommend setting them to the ones offered by the browser itself (first point).

That's all friends. Now you know how to update Internet Explorer, and new version you will no longer be bothered by problems related to the speed of loading pages and images, switching between bookmarks, etc. It should be noted that in each updated version The security of working on the Internet is significantly increased.

That's all for me. See you again!

Internet Explorer is perhaps the most famous web browser, and to this day remains one of the most popular among users around the world, although in Russia, according to statistics, its position is far from being so strong: being fairly displaced by programs such as Google Chrome , Opera Browser, Yandex browser, Firefox, as well as the increasingly popular Orbitum, most users perceive it only as a mandatory appendage to the operating system.

However, among many consumers and content creators alike, this browser is still relevant for one reason or another.

Updates to the latest version

As you know, many developers software They release updates for their products at different intervals. Most often this is done in connection with the addition of certain program functions, adaptation to new equipment, as well as correction of certain errors. But sometimes situations arise in which the release of a new update is due to the cessation of support from developers of older versions of programs. This is also true for the Internet Explorer browser, which supports older versions by Microsoft was completely completed. In addition, users who do not update their browser will also be deprived of critical security and compatibility updates for current versions operating systems.

The latest and most current version of Internet Explorer is v. eleven, available to users operating systems Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 (owners of Windows XP have the opportunity to upgrade to a maximum of the eighth version, working in Windows environment Vista will have to settle for ninth).

In some cases, the browser receives the latest updates along with updates to Windows itself. This happens when activated option"Automatic update" in the Center Windows updates. In this situation, no action is required from the user, since the most latest version browser is always ready to work. But in situations in which automatic download updates are disabled or missing permanent connection connection to the Internet, you have to update the program manually (often the browser will automatically remind you to download the next update).

For different versions Windows has different approaches to Internet update Explorer.

For Windows XP

Any official update It is recommended to download only from the software manufacturer's websites. Firstly, for security reasons, and secondly, for convenience, since on the developers’ web pages the process is laid out step by step and is quite concise. However, in the case of Windows XP, for which the official Microsoft support has been discontinued for several years, this option will not work. It will not be possible to organize an update using the operating system itself. Therefore, Windows XP users have only two options: search on third party resources and at your own peril and risk, perform the necessary actions or use quite tricky way editing the registry and replacing operating system signatures in order to try to update through the Update Center.

Windows Vista

For this operating system, update scripts via Microsoft servers are no longer available to users, but browser version 9 can still be downloaded from the official website.

For 32-bit systems: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=29254

For 64-bit systems: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=43374

After downloading, you need to run the file and follow the installer's instructions.

Windows 7, 8.1, 10

For Win 7, there are two ways to update Internet Explorer.

Via Update Center

If automatic updating is configured, then you do not need to do anything; in other cases, in the “Search for updates for your computer” section, you must click the “Check for updates” button, after which the OS will display a list of available updates, and the user will have the opportunity to select the required ones. In this case, updates that are critical for the security and functionality of the operating system will be marked as “Important”, but in the end the decision is still made by the user himself.

Via the Microsoft download page

You need to go to a special section of the Microsoft website located at https://support.microsoft.com/ru-ru/help/17621/internet-explorer-downloads, then select the version of Windows, and then the corresponding bitness of the operating system installation file(the bit depth can be found in the system properties). With this update method forced deletion previous version no program required: the installer will do everything necessary actions myself.

Please note that install 11 Internet version Explorer will only work for those whose Windows version 7 has already been updated to Service Pack 1. If for one reason or another this update is not installed in the system, and latest version If you need a browser, the Update Center will help, through which the required files can be downloaded to your computer.

The latest version of the browser is not supported in Win 8. First, you need to upgrade the system to 8.1, and only after that start installing IE 11. Most likely, most users will not have to do anything, since few people were ready to work in the rather controversial Windows 8, and at the first opportunity they upgraded to 8.1. Those who have not done this will still have to update the system to take advantage of all the benefits of the eleventh version of the Microsoft browser (without this, the browser installation simply will not start).

All this is done in several stages.

• You need to launch the Update Center and install all current operating system updates marked “Important”. During the installation process, the computer may be restarted several times.
• After everything important updates will be installed, you can start Windows installation 8.1. This operation is available from the Windows Store.
• Having completed the installation of the Win 8.1 update, the user also receives a fully functional version of the Internet Explorer 11 browser.
• WITH using Windows Update can be done both automatically and manual mode download and install all available updates for both the operating system itself and the browser.

In Windows 10, the developers initially planned to completely replace the outdated IE, but some compatibility issues forced them, to the delight of many users, not to remove Internet Explorer from the operating system. Therefore on this moment Windows users 10 can use two pre-installed browsers from Microsoft.

Microsoft Edge - latest browser, designed to finally replace the outdated Internet Explorer in the future, but is an integral part of the operating system now.

Internet Explorer itself is in its final eleventh version. All current updates can be obtained using the service Windows Update. Moreover, by default in Windows 10, auto-update is always turned on, and it cannot be disabled using the methods familiar to most users.

Regardless of the popularity of browsers, IE is present for most users because it comes with Windows distribution and is part of the operating system. It is strongly recommended to update it, whether it is the main browser or “in reserve”. With updates installed more stable version, errors are corrected and security is increased when working on the Internet. However, IE has its own update features that differentiate it from other browsers.

Since IE is part of the operating system, it is updated along with Windows. To start the update process, open the Start menu and go to Control Panel. Select "System and Security" and then click on "Windows Update". You are now in the OS update menu. If you have automatic updates turned off, turn it on.

Now on the right side, select the “Search for updates” option. Wait a couple of minutes for the search to complete.

Now you can install update packages, which are divided into important and optional. IE updates are considered important, so click on the appropriate line.

Find the line Internet Explorer for Windows in the list and check the box. At the same time, you can safely highlight all the important updates to optimize the operation of the OS and patch security holes. Click OK.

In the update menu, click on “Install updates”. A restore point will be created so that in the event of a failure, the system can be rolled back to a working state. If you have selected all important update packages, after installing them, the system will ask you to reboot. Click on the corresponding button in the update menu and wait until the system installs all packages.

After reboot, launch IE. If a settings window appears when you launch the browser, select the recommended settings and click OK.

Now go to the settings menu on the right top corner and select “About” from the list. Check the box automatic update browser. Now you don’t have to follow the steps described above every time; IE will automatically monitor for new patches. Another way to update is to immediately install the latest version of the browser from the official Microsoft website. Just follow the link and click “Download Internet Explorer”. You will be offered the latest version of your browser. If you do not want to change your search engine to the one suggested by the Microsoft site, uncheck the “Search in Bing and MSN as default” option. After downloading the installation file, run it. Confirm your actions in the window that appears by clicking “Run”. After installing the browser, restart Windows and launch IE. When the settings window appears, select the recommended settings.

Go to “Settings” - “About” and check the “Install new versions automatically” option. Now the browser will update itself.

Despite the apparent complexity of updating IE, you only need to configure updates once, after which the process will be performed automatically. If you decide to download the browser installation file from the Internet, never download it from unknown sites so as not to catch a virus. For updates, use only the official Microsoft website.
