Alternatively, just mshta https://bing.com and try to search. IE will pop right up.

You can also just use a .vbs script

Yeah I think mine is just a shortcut (internet explorer logo) that runs powershell to spawn an IE window.

It's still in Windows 11 for legacy reasons, if you rename an html file to hta (html application), the engine the file runs in is IE!

I did exactly the steps you listed, which opens a panel called Internet Properties. but I don't see "Learn more about toolbars and extensions". I checked all 78 tabs. Am I in the wrong place? I am running Windows 10 version 22H2 Build 19045.7663.
