It's really strange, I do not have IE on my machine. It's not I lost my shortcut question, I really don't have it.

I just don't have it in my system32 folder. I want to test some polyfills, that are not working in edge, but should work in IE. But I can't, becuase it's missing.

Any idea how to restore it?enter image description here

Right-click Start, click Command Prompt (Admin). Type:

sfc /scanfile="c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"

See if that restores it. Let's know.

Also, check if IE is enabled in Optional Features.

Press WinKey + R, and type optionalfeatures.exe Enable the checkbox for Internet Explorer, and click OK.

If it's already enabled, uncheck it, click OK. Repeat the steps and enable the checkbox again, and click OK.

  • Thank you, problem was in disabled IE feature. I could really find it out myself, but anyway I didn't encounter any related information about it except how to recover missing IE shortcut, so I think it would be helpful for community. May 24, 2016 at 14:00

Internet Explorer, iexplore.exe, will be located in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer. If it does not appear there, Internet Explorer has been turned off in Windows Features.

To enable it, search for Windows Features and select Turn Windows features on or off.

Windows Features

Then check the box next to Internet Explorer 11.

Internet Explorer 11

You will need to restart the computer to apply these changes.
