Internet Explorer 11

Internet Explorer 11 is the latest version of Internet Explorer. It was released on October 17, 2013 and shipped alongside Windows 8.1. An update was later made available for Windows 7 Service Pack 1. An official build of Internet Explorer 11 is not available for Windows 8 as it was intended to be used to promote the Windows 8.1 upgrade. However, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 11 for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 on April 16, 2019 via Windows Update as a regular Desktop application without the Metro interface. Internet Explorer 11 is also part of Windows 10, however, it is not set as the default browser to promote the Microsoft Edge browser. A feedback button (in the form of a smiley face) was added in build 9879 of the aforementioned operating system.

Within pre-release Windows builds
The first screenshots of IE11 come from Windows 8.1 build 9319. All of the known leaked pre-release builds of Windows 8.1 contain a version of IE11 (although the version in build 9299 still brands itself as Internet Explorer 10).

Developer Preview
On July 25, 2013, Microsoft released a build of IE11 known as the "Developer Preview" (build 11.0.9431.0) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. It is available in fourteen languages (Arabic, Catalan, German, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese) and is compiled for both the x86 & x64 architectures.
