Windows 11 begins rolling out on October 5th and my understanding is that it will neither include nor support Internet Explorer.  I believe Quickbooks desktop requires IE in order to work.  Anyone know if this is the case or not?

Welcome to the Community, @richardhwi. I'll take care of this query for you.

 

From a Microsoft blog, the Internet Explorer 11 app will retire on the 15th of June, 2022. It also states that Microsoft Edge will have Internet Explorer mode. It allows users to access legacy Internet Explorer-based websites and apps.

Win11 has now launched. I do hope Intuit are prepared for the new operating system and has been testing Quickbooks leading up to the launch.

@Mark Armistead- 

Intuit will release QBD 2022 officially next week and it only supports Win 64 bit. In their latest system requirements document, QBD 2022 Windows version only supports Win 8.1 and 10. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to wait until next year to support Win 11. Afaik, MSFT will offer the updates to existing Windows 10 users should start coming at the start of 2022, and MSFT hopes to have offered Windows 11 to every compatible machine by mid-2022.
