How to deal with the end of support for Internet Explorer ZDNet Japan
On May 19, 2020, Microsoft announced that the Internet Explorer (IE) application will be discontinued on June 15, 2022 (Japan time 16th). Many of the current IE users are companies and organizations, but as the future support schedule for IE has been finalized, early response will be required. Microsoft Japan representatives recently explained the migration response and support measures.
IE is already in a substantial maintenance stage where no new functions are added or existing functions are not improved. Microsoft has clearly set out the direction of ending IE for a long time, and has made the company's standard browser "Edge" from Windows 10 as the successor to IE. The Edge has now changed to the same Chromium base as Google Chrome (Chromium version Edge), and now provides a user experience compatible with the current web standard environment.
IE is still used today mainly for old business applications and forms that have been used for a long time by companies and organizations. According to Fan Huiyi, program manager lead of the Microsoft 365 product team, after the announcement of the end of support for IE, the number of consultations regarding migration measures received by the company is from Japan, but there is still no particular confusion. It is said that it will not be possible, and companies and organizations are in a situation where considerable progress is being made in responding.
Although there are few actual IE users, if left as is, the possibility of impact on business and operations after the end of support is not zero. For this reason, the company provides multiple support measures, such as utilizing the "IE mode" installed in Edge, ensuring compatibility, and modifying applications.
Demolition schedule for IE
For the specific IE support schedule, first, IE 11 and Windows 10 20H2 and later desktop SKUs will be discontinued on June 15, 2022 (Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, Education Windows Sandbox Also for IE in ).

Although there is a possibility that this schedule will change in the future depending on the status of users' migration support, there is a possibility that support will be completely terminated as planned as the migration is still progressing to some extent. would be expensive.
Support for IE mode will be at the longest until January 9, 2029, when support for Windows 10 IoT 2019 LTSC, Windows Server IoT 2019, and Windows Server 2019 LTSC endsHiromi Oka, Director of Product Marketing, Microsoft 365 Business Division He said that he will support IE mode until 2029 at the longest, and that he will notify one year before the end of support for each product, and call for early response without waiting for the deadline.
Basically, with the end of support on June 15, 2022, individual users and corporate/organizational users will change to a supported web browser other than IE 11 (Edge, Chrome, etc.). Service providers remove IE 11 from target browsers. From now on, for individual users, access to websites that were viewed only in IE will be done in Edge's IE mode.
Corporate/organizational users can modify websites and web applications that operate only in IE to comply with current web standards, or change the operating conditions to IE mode, and in that case IE mode However, it will be verified whether the previous operation is possible.
