Thank you Captain Obvious for that snarky remark. 

I did download IE 11 from a few different sources repeatedly and Microsoft has omitted the ever important “exe” needed to actually open the program.  Read other responses to this issue and you’ll see this is true.  This is because their latest update forces you to use Edge and literally removes and DISABLES your Windows from reinstalling IE 11.  

The “nonsense” is QB relying on a web browser which is no longer being supported.
