However, some users still have a preference for Internet Explorer due to several reasons. Changing the default browser to Internet Explorer is not a straightforward process, and you&#8217;ll need to carry out a few steps to achieve the same. However, with proper guidance, you can easily change your default browser to Internet Explorer in Windows 11.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_You_Should_Prepare_for\"><\/span>Things You Should Prepare for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you begin, there are a few things that you need to prepare to change your default browser to Internet Explorer in Windows 11. Here&#8217;s a list of things you should prepare for:<\/p>\n<p>1. Make sure you have Internet Explorer installed on your computer. If you don&#8217;t, you can download it from the Microsoft website.<br \/>\n2. You&#8217;ll need to have administrative access to your computer to carry out the necessary changes.<br \/>\n3. Make sure you have backed up your important data before you make any changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Changing_Default_Browser_from_Settings\"><\/span>Method 1: Changing Default Browser from Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to change the default browser to Internet Explorer in Windows 11 is through the Settings app. Here are the steps you need to follow:<\/p>\n<p>1. Click on the Start button and select Settings (gear icon).<br \/>\n2. From the left-hand side pane, click on Apps.<br \/>\n3. Scroll down the list of apps and click on the Default Apps option.<br \/>\n4. Click on the current default browser (which is Microsoft Edge by default) under the Web browser section.<br \/>\n5. A drop-down menu will appear with a list of installed browsers. Select Internet Explorer from the list.<br \/>\n6. Close the Settings app and open any hyperlink to check if the default browser has been changed to Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: This method is straightforward and can be carried out in a few easy steps.<\/p>\n<p>Cons: If you have set Microsoft Edge as the default browser for specific file types, it might not work correctly after changing the default browser.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Changing_Default_Browser_from_File_Association\"><\/span>Method 2: Changing Default Browser from File Association<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another way to change the default browser to Internet Explorer in Windows 11 is through file association. Here are the steps you need to follow:<\/p>\n<p>1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.<br \/>\n2. Type in Control Panel and click OK.<br \/>\n3. From the Control Panel, click on Programs.<br \/>\n4. Click on Default Programs.<br \/>\n5. Click on Set your default programs.<br \/>\n6. Select Internet Explorer from the list of programs on the left-hand side.<br \/>\n7. Click on Set this program as default.<br \/>\n8. Close the Control Panel and open any hyperlink to check if the default browser has been changed to Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: This method allows you to set Internet Explorer as the default browser for specific file types, such as HTML and XML.<\/p>\n<p>Cons: It requires more steps than the previous method.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Changing_Default_Browser_using_Registry_Editor\"><\/span>Method 3: Changing Default Browser using Registry Editor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can also change the default browser to Internet Explorer in Windows 11 by editing the Registry Editor. However, we recommend using this method only if you have advanced technical knowledge. Here are the steps you need to follow:<\/p>\n<p>1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.<br \/>\n2. Type in regedit and click OK.<br \/>\n3. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Shell\\Associations\\UrlAssociations\\http\\UserChoice.<br \/>\n4. Once you locate the UserChoice subkey, look for the Progid value.<br \/>\n5. Double-click on the Progid value and change the value data from MicrosoftEdgeHTML to IE.HTTP.<br \/>\n6. Close the Registry Editor and open any hyperlink to check if the default browser has been changed to Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n<p>Pros: This method provides you with more control over file associations and settings.<\/p>\n<p>Cons: It involves editing the Windows registry, which can be risky if you don&#8217;t have advanced technical knowledge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Cant_I_Change_Microsoft_Edge_to_Internet_Explorer_in_Windows_11\"><\/span>Why Can&#8217;t I Change Microsoft Edge to Internet Explorer in Windows 11?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There can be several reasons why you can&#8217;t change Microsoft Edge to Internet Explorer in Windows 11.

In this case, you&#8217;ll need to download and install Internet Explorer from the Microsoft website.<br \/>\n2. You don&#8217;t have administrative access to your computer.
