As far as I know that is the oldest version of IE for windows 7 SP1, so it isn't an update
</div>


<div>
Because it's not an update. &nbsp;(It's part of Windows 7).
</div>


<div>
IE8 is not supported under Windows 7 anymore - you need to update to IE9 at least.
</div>


<div>
update is not showing. &nbsp;According to Microsoft, the update should show under view installed updates. &nbsp;In order to remove it, at a future date.
</div>


<div>
Only newer versions would be showing under updates, not the originally installed version. To uninstall it you do that by turning &quot;Windows Features&quot; off.
</div>


<div>
Where can you see or determine what service pack is installed for IE8?
</div>


<div>
he exact version should be shown if you open it and click on &quot;About IE&quot; in the options menu or whatever it is called.
</div>


<div>
Moving on to the latest (proven) IE 10 is best, as <b>jcimarron</b> recommends (until there are some pressing needs to use IE 8).
