Check Internet Explorer for updates - how it works

Only a few steps are necessary to check Internet Explorer for updates. In this guide we show the exact procedure.

Check Internet Explorer for possible updates

1. First open Internet Explorer and click on the gear on the top right.
2. Select "Info" in the dropdown menu and compare the version number with the latest version in the CHIP download area.
3. If there is already a newer version, you should download and install it.
4. Note: Since Internet Explorer 11, you can also activate the update automatically by activating the checkbox in the new window after clicking "Info" (see image).
