To reinstall Internet Explorer 10

If you try to reinstall Internet Explorer 10 after you recently uninstalled the program, the installation process may not be successful. This issue may occur because the system has not finished removing temporary setup files that are required for the initial installation of the program. If this issue occurs, we recommend that you wait 20 minutes before you try to reinstall Internet Explorer 10.


To uninstall Internet Explorer 10

If you want to uninstall Internet Explorer 10, follow these steps:
  1. Click the Start button, type Programs and Features in the search box, and then click View installed updates in the left pane.
  2. In the Unistall an update list, scroll down to the "Microsoft Windows" section.
  3. Right-click Internet Explorer 10, click Uninstall, and then click Yes when you're prompted.
  4. To complete the process and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer, click one of the following links, as appropriate:
    1. Restart now
    2. Restart later
