How are you opening IE? I needed to run an old project of mine that uses Silverlight and discovered that in the years since I ran it last, Microsoft has deliberately and irreversibly broken the ability to launch IE directly in Windows 10. I had to set up a Windows 8 VM.

Win 10 IoT user here, works fine for me. Though I haven't tried actually using it lol

edit: silverlight is still broken so that's not really helpful for you but at least IE runs

Well, silverlight is something else, but you can run edge in IE mode. That won't support silverlight, but if it's for personal use you can use IETab (free for personal use), which does support silverlight. We used it at our company because we had some ancient shit that required silverlight.

I cancelled the license at my company a couple of months ago because we finally decommissioned the old SharePoint on-prem after 3 years of migration.
