[German<\/a>]It seems that users of Windows RT systems has to say goodbye to their devices. The Internet Explorer shipped with Windows RT \/ 8.1 as a browser no longer can be used to access Microsoft accounts. The browser is outdated.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Warnings that browser support is about to expire<\/h2>\n

\"\"Already in February 2020 a user in the US-Surface-Forum<\/a> under Microsoft Answers complained that his Surface RT tablet with Windows 8.1 RT would soon be useless.<\/p>\n

Surface RT Piece of useless ****!!<\/p>\n

OK, so I have a Surface RT running windows 8.1. And I, like every other poor unfortunate 'Surface RT' owner\/user, am being continually informed by numerous different web platforms that my browser is soon to become obsolete and so I need to change\/update to a newer compatible browser!? Suggestions given for this are 'Chrome\/Firefox\/Edge\/Opera', any of which I would be happy to use! Unfortunately, my 'Surface RT' doesn't seem to share my willingness for change!? In fact it flatly refuses to give any consideration for this required change!! Basically, it just keeps telling me that it won't run that App, or that App, or any **** App in the vast world of Apps that seem to be compatible with every other OS but this useless 'Surface RT' piece of ****!!! Therefore please explain how I am supposed to address this situation, in order for me to be able to continue using this 'Surface RT'!!?? And if you are going to inform me that it is not possible to update this system you had better include in your response a list of the computers that you will be replacing it with!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Already in February he received more and more warnings from websites that his browser would soon no longer be supported. A browser update was suggested – which is not possible with Windows RT\/8.1. If you search the internet, more and more users complaining already in 2019 that Internet Explorer under Windows RT was hardly usable for surfing (crashes, the browser was reported as outdated etc.). <\/p>\n

No more access to Microsoft accounts<\/h2>\n

Then a few hours ago I came across the following tweet from Zack Bowden, which outlines the problem. The Windows RT device owners can no longer access the Microsoft web page of their Microsoft account.<\/p>\n
