Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) is the tenth, and by now, discontinued, version of the Internet Explorer web browser and the successor to Internet Explorer 9, released by Microsoft on September 4, 2012. It does not support earlier versions.

IE10 expands on Internet Explorer 9 functionality with regard to CSS3 support, hardware acceleration,[3] and HTML5 support. It is divided into two editions with different user interfaces: a Metro app that does not support plug-ins and a traditional desktop application that retains plug-in support.[4] On 64-bit computers, the Metro edition runs in 64-bit mode by default.[5] The desktop edition can be run in 64-bit mode by enabling Enhanced Protected Mode.[6]
