Under Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10 includes a built-in copy of Adobe Flash Player. Microsoft worked with Adobe to develop a special build of Flash that would ensure improved battery life and performance. In the "Metro" version of Internet Explorer, Flash has further disabled features to meet those goals and to remain compatible with Metro's enhanced security. Certain mouse-centric features that do not work well with touch displays have also been removed. | Under Windows 8 and Server 2012 (if install Desktop Experience component using Server Manager), Internet Explorer 10 includes a built-in copy of Adobe Flash Player.

Originally, not all websites could use the built-in Flash support under Metro. Microsoft and Adobe maintained a whitelist of approved domains that contained video content and games, unlike the desktop version. On 12 March 2013 Microsoft changed this behavior from allowing only sites from the whitelist to display Flash content, to allow all sites to display Flash content except for those on a curated Compatibility View list (blacklist) maintained by Microsoft. | Originally, not all websites could use the built-in Flash support under Metro.

The Metro version of Internet Explorer 10 (available on Windows 8) includes a new UI, most of which is hidden so that the webpage being viewed takes up the entire screen. The UI can be revealed by a right click of the mouse or by a swipe from the top or bottom edges of a touchscreen. When the UI is shown, current tabs are listed on the top of the screen, with a small preview of the page on each tab. A button to add a new tab is placed in the top-right corner. At the bottom of the screen, the address bar and navigational buttons are shown. Navigational buttons include the Back button (to navigate to the previous page), the Refresh button (to reload the active page), the Pin button (which create a new shortcut tile for the active page on the Start screen), and a wrench-shaped icon, which opens the only menu under Metro. It contains options such as "View on Desktop", which opens the current webpage on the desktop version of IE 10, and "Find on page", which can find a text string (a word, phrase, or arbitrary set of letters) in the active page. | The Metro version of Internet Explorer 10 (available on Windows 8 and Server 2012 (not enabled by default)) includes a new UI, most of which is hidden so that the webpage being viewed takes up the entire screen.
