 If you wish to disable, hide or block all possible access to IE10:

  2. Under “Programs”, which is the link in green, click “Uninstall a program”, then click “Turn Windows features on or off”.
  3. Under “Windows Features”, uncheck the box next to “Internet Explorer 10” then click “OK”. You may need to reboot/restart your computer.
