I am running Windows 7 pro and having MAJOR issues since windows update attempted to install IE11.
Long story short- The icon was NOT available on the desktop or start menu. In order to run it, I have to go to c:\programs files(x86)\Internet Explorer, which would be fine if IE11 was compatible with our systems.
So in trying to uninstall via 'View Installed Updates', Internet Explorer does not appear in the list. If I click 'Turn windows features on or off' in the original user account - the 'Internet Explorer 11' box is unticked. When I attempt to tick it, and click ok ... nothing happens. Doesn't prompt for a restart. When I go back in, the box is still unticked. However- I created another administrator user account and in the 'turn windows features on or off' ... the box is ticked but reflects 'Internet Explorer 9'. When I manually go to c:\programs files(x86)\Internet Explorer, it is in fact internet explorer 11.
I tried downloading the install file for IE11, to see if it offers an uninstall option - but the installer complains that the version already exists and promptly exits. Then I downloaded the IE9 setup and ran - and I get 'Internet Explorer 9 is already installed on this system.' error.
I've tried system restore, Microsoft Fix-it - Nothing is working. It's obvious that something went terrible wrong with the update. I need help on this ASAP as this is a POS station in a busy store and a reinstall isn't really an option right now. Again, as I mentioned above - IE11 is NOT compatible with our systems.
Any help or assistance is GREATLY appreciated!!!
