Has anyone seen my I.E. 11 ?

Some time over the last 3-6 months I lost IE 11. I tried to run it recently for comparison's sake and I find, happily I think, that it won't start up. ( Edge does work fine.) IE appears to have been hosed gently by some combination of up dates upgrades and cosmic dust so that when I open the exe I get the strong sign of death--the endless wait icon, and then nothing.
I strongly suspect Microsoft has acted quietly in doing what had to be done.
RIP .

that's odd. my IE11 works fine in win10. perhaps something to do with CU?

did you try checking Programs and Features and then click Turn Windows Features On or Off?

I am sure there is a conflict but before spending any effort I recall that there are better browsers around, including FF and Edge, Microsoft's leading browser. (While IE once had the advantage of opening pages or features made to its spec Edge now covers that situation.) So I guess I'm merely noting the passing of the guard on this machine rather than looking tor help to resurrect the venerable old dog.

I would uninstall it, reboot and then reinstall it.

I looked in remove programs and it's not there.You cannot uninstall/reinstall IE11 in Windows 10. If the program opens one can change internet settings and one can turn it off and on in windows features but that's it.
