Then, like the uninstall process, Windows will display a progress bar at the top of the list. Not all portions of Internet Explorer can be uninstalled, because, as I mentioned above, Internet Explorer is so tightly woven into Windows. Those portions of Internet Explorer used to render web pages, for example, are key components not just of Windows, but of other applications as well.
They may not display their information in a web browser, but still use the same technology as webpages. The guts of Internet Explorer are used to display it in whatever window or context the applications choose.
The result is that uninstalling and reinstalling may not solve the same broad spectrum of issues that, say, uninstalling a completely stand-alone browser like Chrome or Firefox might. Only a reinstall of Windows itself would do that.
Even so, many of the issues we experience with Internet Explorer and browsers in general do revolve around the user interface, so it remains a valuable debugging and diagnostic technique.

There are a very few fewer and fewer, fortunately web sites that still require IE. And some people, honestly, prefer it. This way your emails will be opened with your new browser and not with Internet Explorer. I do keep my IE on my computers but not use it, I never touch IE as I do not like it, I find it to be a fragile browser and it very easily gets crashed. But, I do keep it and not uninstall as there are few programs, like Quicken and QuickBooks, that do require IE to be on your system as it is a requirement by these programs.
Good luck. I am extremely disappointed with Internet Explorer with all its versions, since version 1 in I am an advanced PC user since Windows 3.
