A simple guide that shows you how to completely uninstall Internet Explorer 9 and revert to Internet Explorer 8 browser. Google has dropped support for Internet Explorer 8, and they aren’t the only organization to do so. While you can’t use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 without.

I need to install IE9 on Windows 10, but cannot. I keep getting a message 'Internet Explorer 9 is already installed on this system'. This is by design. You cannot run IE9 on Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or any version or future version/build of Windows 10 unless you use a virtual machine and install a version of Windows other then those versions on said virtual machine.

BTW, I support a web app that uses data islands. That's why I still need IE9. So use one of the that Microsoft offers for FREE for exactly this purpose.

If the virtual machine option isn't acceptable you will need to install Windows 7 on the machine and use that option instead. I removed windows 11 and all installed updates for internet explore, but no luck. The instructions you followed only work if a previous version of IE existed before you installed IE11 on said machine. In your case since IE11 is the only version of IE that will ever exist or can exist on Windows 10 and for that reason it is only possible to uninstall/disable IE11.

Always Show the Menu Bar You’ll notice now that when you hit Alt or Alt+T the menu bar will be displayed but won’t stay on. If you like to always have the Menu bar displayed, we can do it with a hack to the Registry. Remember before making any changes to the Registry and /. Make sure you’re closed out of IE 9, then open the Start menu and type regedit and hit Enter.

When the Registry Editor opens navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Policies Microsoft and create a new Key and name it Internet Explorer. Under Internet Explorer create another new Key and name it Main. When you’re done the path will look like this. HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Policies Microsoft Internet Explorer Main Highlight Main and create a new DWORD Value. Give it the Value name AlwaysShowMenus and give it a Value data of “1” then click OK. Now you can close out of Registry Editor, and open IE 9. When you first open it you won’t see the Menu Bar, so hit Alt or Alt+T again and it will come up and will always be there from now on anytime you launch IE 9.

Keep in mind that the Menu Bar will always be displayed now, if you want to reverse it, go back into your Registry settings you created and change the AlwaysShowMenus Value to “0”. Always Display Command, Status, and Favorites With the new version of Internet Explorer, Microsoft is going for more of a simplistic interface. This might be welcome to some, but if you’ve been a long time IE user, you might miss the various toolbars. To display the Command, Status, and Favorites bar, simply right-click an empty area next to a tab and check which one(s) you want displayed.

Then you might want to lock the toolbars as well. Now anytime when you open IE 9 the bars you selected will show up. This should work with IE 9 Beta 32 or 64-bit versions. Hopefully this will be fixed in the final release of IE 9. Thanks to Vishal for figuring this out. He also has the for enabling and disabling the Registry Setting.
