To simplify deployment, IE11 can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
Microsoft will also release the IE11 upgrade later via Windows Update and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for all versions of Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard in 2019. The updates are available then through the Update Catalog and the WSUS channel as a Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer 10. They will also be included in the monthly rollup in due course. Updates for IE11 are called "Internet Explorer 11 Cumulative Update" in the Microsoft Update Catalog, Windows Update, and WSUS.
