The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit lets you turn off the automatic delivery of IE11 through the Automatic Updates feature of Windows Update.

Important   The IE11 Blocker Toolkit doesn't stop users from manually installing IE11 from the Microsoft Download Center.

To install the toolkit

  1. Download the IE11 Blocker Toolkit from Toolkit to Disable Automatic Delivery of Internet Explorer 11.

  2. Accept the license agreement and store the included 4 files on your local computer.

  3. Start an elevated Command Prompt by going to Start>All Programs>Accessories> right-clicking on Command Prompt, and then choosing Run as Administrator.

  4. In the Command Prompt, change to the location where you put the 4 files.

  5. In the Command Prompt, type ie11_blocker.cmd /B and press Enter.

    Wait for the message, Blocking deployment of IE11 on the local machine. The operation completed successfully.

  6. Close the Command Prompt.
