How can I downgrade from Internet Explorer 11 back to 10 or 9?

[Jeff]

I have a laptop with Windows 7 and I recently clicked on a pop-up to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 and I now am having problems I didn't have before. How can I go back to Internet Explorer 9 or 10 without screwing anything up?

Windows Update -> View Update History on top click on Uninstall an Update.

No Internet Explorer version is better then Firefox or Google Chrome

Hello Jeff,

I would suggest using System Restore to restore your System to prior the upgrade.

The following instructions are for Windows 7:

Warning:
“If you use System Restore when the computer is in safe mode, you cannot undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point, if one exists.” (Windows 7 “Windows Help and Support”.)

Upon starting the machine, keep pressing the "F8" function key (see the top row of your keyboard) until the "Advanced Boot Options" screen appears and there choose "Safe Mode".

In Safe mode, do:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/
Right-click "System Restore"/
Choose "Run as administrator/
Click "Next":
It shows a list of dates and times.
Display more dates and times by ticking (checking) the box that says:
"Show more restore points."
Choose a "Restore Point" dated prior to the problems.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert.
