This coincided with a complete revamp of WSUS for the whole organization so about 11 machines mysteriously got IE11.

Internet explorer 9 portable upgrade#

My observation was based on the fact that we were using IE9 across the board, but decided to upgrade to IE10. I was somewhat guessing as to if any of my suggestions would work for you. I appreciate M$ throwing up warnings that I should really be using IE 11 - just don't delete the danged pages when I am positive I need what I say I do! I mean, sure - who wants to willingly use IE 9? But that doesn't mean that sometimes in fringe scenarios that it's still a requirement. For an example of what I mean, follow these steps that I did:Дў) Select 'Download Internet Explorer 9', and click Next.ДЈ) Select either of the only options, which are Vista/Server 2008 versions.Д¤) Expand the option for Additional Information, and try clicking on any of the links for Win 7 or Server 2008 R2. I'm telling you though - M$'s apparent decision to flat-out delete the IE9 download pages? THAT is sketchy. I did not think to try manually removing all IE 11 & 10 updates from the machine, thus effectively downgrading to IE 9 - I'll have to play with that on the next unit, that might be a good alternative method. (And WSUS did not think the machine needs any installs afterwards, as removing IE made any IE installs or rollups not applicable.) I did initially try to remove IE 11 from 'Windows Features' (boy is п»їthatп»ї a misnomer.) but that simply removed IE entirely.

Hmmm, I'll have to give this a try with a test unit. If 9 then good, but if 8 and you can't find the 9 installer then you could use WSUS to go back up to 9. That would bump you down to either 9 or 8. If you are already on 10/11 you can uninstall 10 and or 11 from the Installed Updates in Programs and Features.
