How to get back the Windows 8 system start screen lost IE10 icon

  
 

The IE10 in Win8 has both desktop and Metro versions. If you use a third-party browser as the default browser, the Metro IE on the start screen will disappear and become the desktop version of IE. If you need to retrieve Metro IE, please refer to the steps below.


Retrieve the Metro IE10 method in the Win8 start screen

1. First open the default program settings in the Control Panel and select Set Default Program.


2. Select Internet Explorer in the Settings window that opens and select to set this program to the default.


3. After setting up, go to the start screen and you can see that the familiar Metro IE is back. If you want to use Metro IE, you only have to give up setting up a third-party browser as the default browser. Currently, Windows
8 does not allow the default third-party browser to coexist with Metro IE.
