Microsoft has decided not to release updates for IE 11 browser in Windows 7 if they are not already updated with the patches released this April. Microsoft had earlier told Windows 8.1 users to update the operating system with the latest update before June 10 to receive further updates in the future. The new move from Microsoft is quite similar, as done with Windows 8.1 update. However, the major difference is that the new mandate is going to affect only the IE 11 browser and is not going to give troubles to the operating system.
According to the Windows 7 help center, you will not be able to install the June 10 IE update for the browser if you have not installed the April 8 update released by Microsoft for IE 11 running on Windows 7 OS. The April 8 update is identified as MS14-08 and you may download and install it from the official website of Microsoft.
Keep in mind that installation of updates is important for the smooth functioning of your browser. Microsoft states that, "This update applies only to computers that are running Internet Explorer 11 and that do have update 2919355 (for Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2) or update 2929437 (for Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) installed." It further added, "All future security and non-security updates for Internet Explorer 11 require you to have update 2919355 or update 2929437 installed in order to receive updates.”
The new update from Microsoft is aimed at fixing various IE vulnerabilities, according to the Windows 7 help center. Out of the 59 vulnerabilities identified, 47 of them were associated with IE11. Microsoft has made it clear that if the browser is not upgraded with the updates released last April, the browser will lose all its update privileges in the future. Therefore, if you are running the Windows 7 operating system and IE 11 browser, then ensure that you download and install the update MS14-018.
For enterprises and other big businesses, the last date to install the update is set on Aug 12. Until this date, the browsers can be updated with patches. However, these users will not receive updates intended to fix IE11 issues from August. Other features cut off are system center configuration manager and Intune, if they fail to upgrade the browsers.
So, if you wish to receive regular updates for your IE 11 browser on Windows 7, download and install the updates as early as possible.
