I have been equally frustrated with the IE issue. BUT I found the fix!! Scotley got me part of the way but only a base hit. I hit a home run. Do not have to make IE default just reinstall. So here it goes. I deleted IE because my security software kept flagging it as not updated, so I just deleted the program. I only use QB during tax season to input my expenses, so now is the time to use QB, I have 2019 PRO. Feb 1st 2022 I go to plug in my business expenses and QB gives me the error Need IE, install it or else! NOTHING IN THE WHOLE INTERNET UNIVERSE has a copy of IE 11 for Windows 10. I reinstalled QB 2019 hoping it would find my missing IE and install it, NO luck. I spent several days when I could, looking for a work around. No luck. THEN EUREKA!! I see Scotley's post and follow the instructions, not luck FUDGE! I go back following the instructions and I noticed in the OPTIONAL Features screen an ADD A FEATURE button. BAM! there is IE 11 I run the install and The Heavens opened up, the angels began to sing and QB is BACK BABY!!
So here is the way to get IE 11 running even if you have deleted it AND you DO NOT need to make it your default browser.
In Settings find the App and Settings button
Top third of that screen there is a hyper link for Option Features, click it.
Top of the Optional Features screen is Add a Feature button, BUT before you click it, look through the list of features below the button, if you see IE listed then this is NOT your trouble and need to turn on IE in another setting route. IF YOU DO NOT SEE IE listed, click the add a feature button.
It's starting to get exciting here, stay with me!
Next screen
Look for IE 11 10 9 select most recent version, click INSTALL...................
Wait for install to complete, save any other work you had going on and restart your machine.
Click on your desktop QB icon AND You should be back in business. If not, then you went through this process for nothing and are even more frustrated. If it was successful, Yippee!! GET BACK TO WORK!
