Internet Explorer doesn't work
My tablet does nothing when I click on Internet Explorer.
I went to Control Panel and it is not on the list of installed programs. I clicked on "How to install a program" and Control Panel did nothing. Typical useless Windows application. In any event, how do I restore Internet Explorer, or even connect to the Internet?

Sounds like IE is not currently installed on your PC. Perhaps simply go to the Microsoft website and download and install it?
The Microsoft link for Internet Explorer 11. Note that different "flavors" of it are available--select the version needed for your PC.

It resolved after I undid the System Restore I had performed to try to fix another issue.
However, without IE, there is no way to access the Microsoft Web site.

Glad it resolved for you!
And good point about needing a browser to begin with, to get to Microsoft to get the download! I guess one might be able to use a library or friend's computer, or another computer you might have, to get the browser download (assuming that downloads are available, rather than it only being a "direct install"), and then using that download to install onto the problematic computer.
