Internet explorer 10 not found in windows 8 rtm professional

Guys,,I have a windows 8 rtm professional x86 and i have not been able to see the internet explorer 10 on the metro tile or search...my ie9 is also not working and i cannot reinstall it bcos it says the os is not supported...pls give a solution to this as i am new to this and i do not want to do a reformat...thnx

What happens when you use the run command "iexplore" ?

Also, try making IE your default browser.

none of that is working,,when i run iexplore there is a circle running near the cursor,,that's it..and i have also tried making ie my default browser but it doesn't seem to work....any further suggestions guys other than formatting the os....thnks

Go to
computer
C:
Program Files (x86)
internet explorer
iexplore (right click Pin to Start)

You can also remove, then re-add IE using add/remove Windows Features.

What version of Windows 8 is this, and was it an upgrade or a clean installation? I've only ever seen this on upgrades from Vista or Windows 7 when the upgrade goes bad, or if you try to install another browser that sets itself as the default but has no "modern" equivalent. When you try to go back, for some reason this breaks all modern browsers (not just IE - if you've installed chrome and then try FF, for example, it'll break that as well).

Hi there
I'm running W8 RTM Enterprise x-64 from TechNet.

IE10 works fine in "Classic" or Desktop" mode.

Metro --It caused my system to freeze after that stupid browser choice question from the EU when I choese IE.

After disabling the browser choice IE10 works just fine from the desktop.

I don't see what use a Full screen single window only is on a browser --I need several sessions all open concurrently anyway so Metro IE is out for me and I just use the desktop version.

If you want to create a tile for it (the std classic IE) --just pin it to the start screen.

anyway IE10 version on my system --screenshot enc.

cheers
jimbo

any help????
