Redmond will continue to provide technical assistance to customers using Silverlight 5 only until the retirement date. Un-installing and re-installing Microsoft Silverlight will not resolve the issue. The company also points to a support document that may be of interest. This is caused by an incompatibility between Internet Explorer 11 and PME. If you would like more information on the sunset, then Microsoft has a dedicated Silverlight portal that has a banner notifying about the end of support. In terms of browser support, Edge only supports Silverlight in the IE mode, Google Chrome said goodbye back in September 2015, and Mozilla Firefox took the same decision in March of 2017.

Even Netflix transitioned from Silverlight to HTML in 2013, and the pieces have since then been aligning. Of course, fans of the Windows Phone platform may recall that Silverlight 4 was the primary development platform for the mobile OS. “Microsoft Silverlight will reach the end of support on October 12, 2021”
#SILVERLIGHT INSTALLED BUT NOT WORKING IE 11 UPDATE#
Redmond last released an update for the platform almost three years ago, and the writing has been on the wall since then. Released all the way back in 2007, the legacy framework is only currently supported on Internet Explorer. Another one bites the dust! If you use the Microsoft Silverlight to build web applications, then you might want to know that the company is ending support for the platform next month.
