Future updates will be applied without the knowledge of the user in an attempt to help beat scammers offering fake updates, users can, however, opt out and chose their own upgrade pace say Microsoft.
Ryan Gavin, Microsoft's IE boss, explained the plan in a blog post.
"We want to make updating to the best protection possible as fast and simple as we can for Windows customers. IE is how millions of Windows customers connect to the Web, so keeping that part of Windows updated at all times is critical to keeping them safe online. With automatic updates enabled through Windows Update, customers can receive IE9 and future versions of Internet Explorer seamlessly without any "update fatigue” issues."
