Reminder.
The last time(2021) I tried to disable IE QuickBooks stopped working, I may have to try again to see if there has any changes since.

MS blog updated late October 2022 with the following:
Note: The retired, out-of-support Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be permanently disabled on certain versions of Windows 10 as part of the February 2023 Windows security update ("B" release) scheduled for February 14, 2023.
We highly recommend setting up IE mode in Microsoft Edge and disabling IE11 prior to this date to ensure your organization does not experience business disruption.When will IE11 be permanently disabled as part of a Windows update? (New: October 27, 2022)
The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be permanently disabled when either of the following Windows updates are deployed to devices:
(Optional) January 2023 Windows non-security preview ("C") release scheduled for January 17, 2023
February 2023 Windows security update ("B") release scheduled for February 14, 2023
Note: As Windows updates are cumulative, Windows updates after February 2023 will also disable IE11.
How this will affect your organization:
All IE11 activity, including shortcuts using IE11 and invoking the iexplore.exe binary will be redirected to Microsoft Edge
Launching shortcuts or file associations that use IE11 will be redirected to open the same file/URL in Microsoft Edge
The IE11 icons on the Start Menu and the task bar will be removed
This Windows Update will only affect in-scope SKUs (the IE11 desktop application delivered via the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) including Windows 10 client SKUs and Windows 10 IoT).
A note: while saving files [photos] from an old Notebook I was given that came with Vista but Upgraded to Win7, got 30-some updates installed on it even though no longer supported. Part of the process did install Edge and pretty much disabled IE 10. Previous owner hadn't used it for several years and never got IE11. The Notebook is a Toshiba Satellite A135, Celeron M 32-bit, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD, works well but slower.
Microsoft will disable Internet Explorer for good on Windows 10 version 20H2 and newer today.
Internet Explorer 11 now permanently disabled in Windows 10

This month's updates have not reached here yet.
Does IE still run using the LesFerch method on updated computers?
