Furthermore, Microsoft says that it is not going to support across 265 applications of Microsoft by next year. However, the date for shut down is not yet out, but Microsoft says that after around August 17th, 2021 the actions will be taken. In simple words, this means that after August 17th, 2021 the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is going to close. The company claims that products such as Office 365, Outlook, and others will also be stopped. In addition, the company has also said that before all this the Internet Explorer working on teams will stop after November 30th, 2020. Therefore, all these claims that we are forwarding to the audience are found through an official blog post of Microsoft. Let’s discuss this in details:
In an official blog post, Microsoft said that for degraded experiences, the new features of Microsoft 365 will not be available. Whereas some of the features may cease to work when accessing down the application or service through IE 11. Along with clearing down the things, the company is also encouraging its users to use Microsoft Edge Browser. This is because this is very much better than Internet Explorer. Moreover, after the shutdown of Internet Explorer, this is going to be the only Microsoft browsing application having similar features and applications like Internet Explorer. So, get ready and start using it today only if you are a user of Internet Explorer.
Later on, Microsoft said that users can standardize on one browser and seamlessly experience the best modern web in just one tab only. The company said this because all the services and applications are all housed within the Edge only. This means that the new Microsoft Edge browser is going to give the users the best experience. Apart from claiming down the news of Internet Explorer shut down, Microsoft also said that it is going to end the support for old Microsoft Edge as well. Lastly, the company said that after March 9th, 2021 no security updates will be received by Microsoft Edge legacy desktop. So, it’s advisable for the users to switch to the new Microsoft Edge Browser.
To conclude, yes it is confirmed that Internet Explorer is going to stop working after August 2021.
