FIXED: How to Stop Internet Explorer from Redirecting to Edge

This video is a quick guide on how to stop Internet Explorer from redirecting to the Microsoft Edge browser. Sometimes it may be necessary to use Internet Explorer to access really old systems that don't work in Edge. You can stop Internet Explorer from launching Edge by disabling the IEtoEdge BHO browser add-on.

Hi, I just tried your method. All well until the last step: it does not have the "disable" choice for the redirecting.

[@lieutenant146]

Same here. It won't allow it to be disabled.

[@tedarcher9120]

@@lieutenant146 You need to disable it manually in regedit

[@techr3alm]

if you click on it and then more informations go to the path that is there and just delete all IEToEdge files

I tried that and the Disable button is greyed out

Ty, great tutorial, that actually worked!

[@railfanningmichael3970]

It did not work

[@Seoul4083]

You need to disable with registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]
"{1FD49718-1D00-4B19-AF5F-070AF6D5D54C}"="0"

[@saturdaysequalsyouth]

This is the only thing that worked for me. You're a genius. Saving this one. Knowing Microsoft, they will probably patch this hole soon but for now, October 3, 2032, it works! No matter what happens in the future, I want the world to know you caught a major W with this one.

[@thechosenone729]

Thanks for the tip this worked.

[@TheAxe32]

add-on is disabled, but still ie redirects to edge

[@PersiaAhmad]

Thanks, but you could have just accessed Internet Options from Microsoft Internet Explorer instead of going to control panel !

[@TechTherapyInstitute]

without any reason few system its not working, portal/apps not loading.

[@nicolasmelay3605]

His point was, if IE is hijacked by Edge, you don't get a chance to enter Internet Options from IE.
You can't enter IE Options this way until you've fixed the actual issue, so you got to find another way.
Going back to the old style Control Panel was one way to do it.
But Microsoft removed this option a few months back already, because they know you don't really want to use IE, and you really want to use Edge instead.

[@MrVerdomme]

Update or remove the video please, this is outdated solution.

[@MyAMSGold]

Sorry, good video but it did not help me.
