zach   234 #9 Posted April 19, 2018 Internet explorer should be there. Microsoft just hide it in the background.  Try typing internet explorer in the search/Cortana box.  You can also find it in the Windows Accessories folder from the start menu.

Jomie   30 #12 Posted April 19, 2018 It sounds as if you have malware. Perhaps it would be best to ask a technician to look at it. It might take some time to clean up. Sometimes it is easier and more reliable to reformat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
