Now, when users attempt to access Internet Explorer, they will be redirected to Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft permanently disabled the Internet Explorer 11 desktop app on certain versions of Windows 10 this Tuesday through a Microsoft Edge update.

Widely used in Internet Explorer, ActiveX has long become a risky relic of a bygone technology era. Programmers and companies would be better off replacing and abandoning the framework altogether.

That ends today, as Microsoft's support documentation says that a Microsoft Edge browser update will fully disable Internet Explorer in most versions of Windows 10, redirecting users to Edge.
