Microsoft has removed a compatibility hold blocking Windows 11 upgrades for Windows 10 customers after fixing a known issue leading to problems importing Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) data into Microsoft Edge.
The safeguard hold was applied for Windows 10 systems where IE11 was the main or the default browser.
