Cannot remove Internet Explorer

I have IE 11 on my laptop and I never use it.

I want to unintstall it, but when I go to control panel and click programs and features, that it is not in the list. I click on IE in the app part on my deskstop and make a right click Uninstall and it did that take back me to the menu programs and features.

I don't want or need of IE on my laptop more... so is there a way to get rid of him?

Shawn is correct with what he says. Below is taken from the windows.microsoft.com

"Because Internet Explorer is a Windows feature, you cannot uninstall it, but you can disable it. Here's how:

  1. Enter in the right edge of the screen and then click on search.
    (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen, move the mouse to the top and then click Find.)

  2. Enter the Windows features in the search box, press or click settings and then press or click Windows features turn on or off.

  3. In the Windows features dialog box, clear the check box Internet Explorer 11. »

    -http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/install-ie#ie=ie-11

    To answer your last question in your reply to Shawn, you can't uninstall it. You can only disable it, as says the first sentence of the answer ^^ up there.

    Have a good!

  • Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead?

    Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead? That is, crashes, to stop, resarts and slows my computor. I installed Google Chrome and have had no more problems. It opens and closes when I want it and going to the Web pages as I type in without hesitation. I like windows 7, I only have a problem with Internet Explore. It also caused changes in my modem. I need to uninstall the software and reinstall to get it working again. IO would open that is and get a message that says "no internet access - check your settings, I thought it was a virus at some point. As soon as I started using Chrome, everything worked again. That is also caused problems with my printer and home network. I don't mind that is being stored in a file, I don't want to work and make changes to my computer I'm not an it expert by any means. I restored my pc to an earlier time and new conditions of factory several times in the past year (I bought the HP pc new in December 2010).

    It is not really a way to remove Internet Explorer.  I have not heard of the type of problems, you had with IE, but if you prefer Chrome and who works for you, all you need to do is to make Chrome the default browser.  I use Firefox and make it my default browser.  Once you make Chrome default you just leave Internet Explorer installed but it won't get used.  Following comes the site help Chrome and tells how to do it by default: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95417

  • Cannot open internet Explorer. says I have a script error and I can not download another version

    I have internet explore 8, but something happened to him earlier so now I use google chrome. The logo for IE disappeared and I was getting script errors at the time also and now I want to use IE, but I can't. I tried to download IE 9 and he said: it could not copy a file and then took me to the troubleshooting and IE has no good at all. I have IE 8, but how do I connect it? Its a puzzle to be sure. Help?

    IE9 is not compatible with xp...

    For the script, open internet options, Advanced tab, look for 'Disable script debugger' & uncheck

    the box, too, look below it & uncheck 'Disable script-other', close when thru.

  • Cannot add Internet Explorer to the Quick Launch bar

    I've been using Vista since August 2007 and have had no problems. This morning I noticed that the Internet Explorer icon that is normally placed on my Quick Launch bar is missing, but it's in the Start Menu

    .

    I tried to drag and drop on the Start Menu, but I get the 'Ain t going to happen sign' (the circle with the bar slash through it) when I drag it to the Quick Launch bar.

    I looked at these recent updates and found one Jan. 20 for Microsoft Silverlight and one a Jan 22 for Microsoft Essentials.

    I tried to restore to an earlier date, but that doesn't change anything.

    Hi John,.

    If I understand correctly, you are unable to download the program on the Internet. Do not worry, we will try to solve this problem.

    Please provide us some information to refine the question:

    1. The problem is specific to Internet explore?
    2. What version of Internet explore is installed on your computer?
    3. Did you do last changes made on your computer before the show?
    4. What security program is installed on your computer?

    To find the version information in the browser: open Internet Explorer, click on help in the menu bar and then click on to Words in Internet Explorer.

    I suggest to Optimize Internet Explorer and check to see if the problem persists.

    See the link below on how to optimize Internet Explorer
