What do you do when the revert never happens? I've gone through these steps to uninstall IE10, but I was left with no internet explorer at all and had to do a system restore to get back to IE10. I went through the process of trying to download IE9 but was prompted that it was already on my system, yet I cannot find it anywhere, only 10. Help. I hate 10.

Hello Lauri,
1. Before remove Internet explorer 10 download the standalone IE9 installer (x86 or x64 version according your OS version) from here:

2. Then remove IE10 and run the IE9 installer.
