Hi How are you ? Great I hope:


I have a failed IE11 install where I have a issue printing web pages,

1)there is no uninstall file in the "Installed Updates" box in control panel
2) I cannot find the repository files to do a command line uninstall

here are my notes:

I did extensive trouble shooting & found that IE11 did not fully install so while it has what appears to be 95% functionality, the printing part is out of whack.

Also the install did not store the uninstall package in windows\servicing\packages folder, so it does not show up in programs & features/“Installed updates”.

i.e. since I couldn’t find IE11 in control panel I tried to uninstall from CMD prompt:
FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart /quiet"
But there is no ‘Mum” file for Internet Explorer. The last one was for 2010 IE optional updates

Finally I tried to just backup the registry then, delete IE from Registry, but I could not totally delete, the stuff I could delete just repopulates when you open IE again, so the final thing I tried to have the EU login & see if you look under computer/installed updates to see if IE11 install is there. No luck there.

1 thing you can run while the EU is logged in is from CMD  ICACLS "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\Low" /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low
The other is maybe have EU log out & try to backup registry, create a restore point & simply delete the IE registry remotely, then try to run the install.
I didn’t try over the weekend in case it whacks the system.

I need to find a way to to uninstall the invisible app OR repair it to where it has full functionality & can be uninstalled when next version is released. I have been have not found a solid hint. If you try to re-install it will say another install did nit complete.
I also ran CCleaner, Malwarebytes, removed 14 threats, Ran McAfee Virus scan 0 threats found.

We have even entertained the theory that the hard drive may be corrupted, but I ran SCF SCANNOW & CHKDSK /F /R did not see any corruption & CHKDSK did not fix any issue.

Please help ! Thanks & have a great weekend/week !

Hi @tsutton2008


How to Reset Internet Explorer to its Default Settings

If Internet Explorer (IE) is failing to open, or is misbehaving or crashing, it’s not possible to uninstall it or install a newer version, but you can completely reset it.

Hello ! how are you ? Great I hope ! Thank you for your valuable instructions !

I tried all of the above but still cannot uninstall or fix the problem.
I am going to try another round of windows updates or the next step is to reinstallWindows or save vital data from the hard drive, trash the hard drive altogether, already have request to order new hard drive.

I learned some new stuff, it is frustrating to not be able to find the repository data to erase the instance of IE or a swiatch that tells windows it is ok to install IE11 to simply uninstall or a simple registry fix


Have a great weekend !
