"Microsoft 365" app will soon be non-compliant with "IE 11"-Microsoft calls again

Microsoft has reminded us that support for "Internet Explorer 11" (IE11) will end on August 17 in the web application of the cloud service "Microsoft 365" that provides Office applications.

Microsoft also warned in February that it would reduce IE 11 support levels for major Office apps after August 17th. The company first announced on August 17, 2020 that it would end support for Microsoft 365 and Office 365 for IE 11.

The latest message says, "Since August 17, 2021, Microsoft 365 apps and services will no longer support Internet Explorer 11 (IE11), which will degrade the user experience and prevent them from connecting to apps and services. These apps and services will be phased out over a period of weeks or months to ensure a smooth end of support. The schedule for discontinuance depends on the app or service. " are doing.

"After August 17, 2021, we will not be able to receive support if there is a problem accessing Microsoft 365 apps and services from IE11. Also, no new features will be added, and apps and services will not be added. The daily usage experience may gradually deteriorate toward the end of the service. "(Same as above)

Apart from this, many versions of Windows 10 will end support for IE on June 15, 2022. Microsoft is urging customers to move to Chromium-based "Microsoft Edge."

In addition, the company added a blog post about the impact of the end of support on "Outlook Web App" users depending on the account type (whether they are using Active Account Directory (AAD) or Microsoft account). It states that it is different.

"Users logged in with an AAD account will continue to be able to use all OWA features, but will not be able to take advantage of new features after August 11, 2021. Meanwhile, they will be logged in with a Microsoft account (MSA). Users will be redirected to Outlook Web App Light. "

There are also changes to the ability to access the document library through operations such as "Open in Explorer" and "View in File Explorer" in SharePoint.

"To avoid confusion, IE11 will make the ability to browse document libraries available for the time being. These features will remain in maintenance mode and will no longer be under development," Microsoft said.
