If you find the IE (Internet Explorer) will not install there are several things to try but I have found the most effective to be:
Mar 03, 2014 Every single time I shut down Windows 7 it says it is installing updates (1 of 1). Checking Windows Update it only shows one important update: INTERNET EXPLORER 11 FOR WINDOWS 7 FOR X-64 BASED SYSTEMS It is trying to install this but always fails, if I try to do it manually, it fails and gives me th. Jul 27, 2017 Try another IE11 installer. For example from Windows Update or from the Download Internet Explorer 11 website. Review the IE11main.log file in the Windows folder. This log file has information about each installation and is appended for each subsequent installation. Adjust ActiveX settings in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer might not be set up to download or run ActiveX controls for security reasons. Changing some advanced security settings will let you download, install, or run the control, but your PC might be more vulnerable to security threats.
