    Not feeling the love from Microsoft this month?

    That might be because the company is saying goodbye to its aged Internet Explorer Web browser (IE), albeit only on certain platforms.

    For Windows 10, the death of IE is not part of this month’s Windows update but rather part of the update to the Edge browser. That update would have been in the background, silent, and you may not have noticed it. Even if you did, you probably didn’t pay much attention. Unless, of course, you had moved from IE to Edge a while back. For you, the update re-migrated your favorites and bookmarks, making a duplicate list.
