Rather than seek user approval before upgrading IE\u2014the previous practice\u2014Microsoft adopted a Google Chrome-like &#8220;silent&#8221; scheme that automatically installs the newest browser suitable for that version of Windows.<br \/>\nIE10 supports only Windows 8 and Windows 7, leaving Windows Vista stuck with IE9, just as Windows XP has been frozen at IE8.<br \/>\nVirtually all of IE10 gains were apparently through the upgrade process\u2014rather than in persuading users of rivals&#8217; browsers to switch\u2014as IE9, the previous standard on Windows 7, dropped to 32.6 percent of all copies of Internet Explorer from 37 percent the month before.<br \/>\nIE9 peaked in February with a 38.8 percent share of all copies of Internet Explorer.<br \/>\nBusinesses can block IE10 from being automatically installed on their machines by deploying a toolkit Microsoft issued two months ago, or by using the standard update management tools, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Systems Management Server (SMS).<br \/>\nIE8 remained flat at 41.4 percent of all copies of Internet Explorer, and if analysts are correct, will remain the most popular version of Microsoft&#8217;s browser (free registration required) because not only is it the most modern available for the stubborn Windows XP, but it has also been adopted as the standard by many enterprises.<br \/>\nNor did Microsoft make any progress last month in killing off IE6, the 2001 browser it&#8217;s been trying to eradicate for years. IE6 was used by 11.1 percent of all those running Internet Explorer, a higher percentage than IE10.<br \/>\nOther browsers, including Mozilla&#8217;s Firefox and Google&#8217;s Chrome, remained flat in Net Applications&#8217; measurements as well, with Firefox ending April with a 20.3 percent usage share and with Chrome accounting for 16.4 percent.<br \/>\nIE&#8217;s overall share also didn&#8217;t change in April: Microsoft&#8217;s various browsers garnered a usage share of 55.8 percent, steady for the first time since September.<br \/>\nvia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2036984\/internet-explorer-10-usage-doubles-after-microsoft-triggers-auto-update.html\" target=\"_blank\">Internet Explorer 10 usage doubles after Microsoft triggers auto-update | PCWorld<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft&#8217;s Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) doubled its usage share last month, and now accounts for nearly 11 percent of all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5,9,11],"tags":[152,536],"class_list":["post-2025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-microsoft","category-software","category-windows","tag-browsers","tag-internet-explorer"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/papNkV-wF","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":9405,"url":"https:\/\/nccomputertech.com\/techtalk\/2018\/10\/07\/odorless-and-weightless-hackers-this-week-in-tech-687\/","url_meta":{"origin":2025,"position":0},"title":"Odorless and Weightless Hackers &#8211;
