Reply to comment by jamhamnz in Internet Explorer 11 has retired and is officially out of support by Tweho

Except IE wasn't spinning up pointless background tasks and services. You could also remove it via Add/Remove Programs.

Edge can't be disabled, and unless you clusterbomb the whole thing and rip it out of the OS, the service recreate the auto update scheduler tasks.

Wasn't Windows Explorer completely integrated with IE at one stage in Windows history?

Not completely, just enough to (unconvincingly) tell the Justice Department that it wouldn't be possible to ship Windows without Internet Explorer.
