I have just come across a very odd problem...
We are talking Windows 10 and we are talking IE11...
Many of my customers still use IE11 under Windows 10. On Friday my customer said that she could no longer use IE11..
I checked her PC and sure enough it wouldn't work.. On further inspection I noticed that the iexplorer.exe file had physically disappeared from the users machine... I could see the directory C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ and I could see the other
files and directories under there but iexplorer.exe was gone...!!
I tried going in to Add / Remove Features but it would not allow me to install it.... I tried everything to get it back but I just could not put it back, I even copied the file from another Windows 10 PC but it still would not run...
After hours of trying to get it to work I just gave up and did a re-install of the O/S leaving all the files and programs where they were.. This didn't work first time, but second time I ran it we were back to where we were... All very odd..., the machine
has no viruses or malware but the iexplorer.exe file just disappeared..
I thought this was a one off, but I have just seen it on another Windows 10 machine.. It was there two hours ago, but the file iexplorer.exe has just gone!.. Again, I tried to put it back via Add / Remove Features and there was no option whatsoever in there
to add IE11 as a feature?.
This time I did a System Restore to get it back...
Is the Microsoft removing the software..?
