Cumulative Update KB4467708 Windows 10 v1809 Build 17763.134 - Nov. 13 Win Update

PaulGo · 14 Nov 2018

Using Window update my desktop updated to 17763-134 without any problems, however my laptop did not apply this security update (I tried the Windows update several time and it said it was up to date). I applied the update manually and it is now on 17763-134.

Pretty smooth update for a change. I do have a question - When is Internet Explorer going to be discontinued ? I was of the understanding that Edge was the replacement.

IE is the only browser that supports ~~DirectX~~ ActiveX. This is use by many of Microsoft's Enterprise customers for custom web applications on their company Intranet. IE will remain for as long as there are business customers who need it.

Microsoft said:

If you have specific websites and apps that you know have compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge, you can use the Enterprise Mode site list so that the websites automatically open using Internet Explorer 11.

Just a guess, but I imagine they will do away with ie at the same time they discontinue Control Panel, in other words, who knows. Probably never.

It's probably so embedded into the code that they are afraid the whole edifice would collapse if they tried to remove it.

Not until W7 hangouts have migrated a good while is my guess. Maybe even 2021-2022.

One updated fine but the netbook keeps coming up with an error, try later.

The reason given by @Bree in post #42 is the real deal. I have read it some time ago in another article and indeed it has to do with Direct X.

DirectX or ActiveX?

It would be ActiveX but no, I don’t think this is the reason entirely. Because W7 is also an ActiveX stronghold due to IE11 and no Edge then until MS break this functionality no one will migrate or write around it. #Legacy
