Is it possible to run Internet Explorer on Windows 11?
Possibly, I need to run the full internet explorer, not just a compatibility mode. Thank you!

[!!] As the screenshot at the end of the answer shows, Microsoft has dropped support for Internet Explorer!!
Because of this, probably these solution will stop working some time in (near) future.
Also, after the discussion in the comments, I must admit I'm not sure these solutions really work, even now...
But if you still want to try...
First method
I recently found out that you can start Internet Explorer creating a flow on Microsoft Power Automate.
Create an empty flow, then click on "Browser Automation" and add a "Launch instance of IE"
(select "Launch new Internet Explorer" and specify an url as "about:blank" or "" as startup url)
Second method
- Create a .hta file containing the following:
<a href="about:blank" target="_">Start Internet Explorer</a>Double click the .hta file to open it (if asked, select "Open with Microsoft HTML Application Host)
Click the link in the window that will pop up
Here you go!
Run/install Internet Explorer on Windows 11..... I need to run the full internet explorer, not just a compatibility mode.
No. Not possible on Windows 11. IE was not included in Windows 11.
Two solutions:
(1) Adapt your website need to Edge (now very flexible).
Edge now includes very good compatibility for sites that still need IE
(2) Run Internet Explorer in a Virtual Machine.
IE has been completely terminated by Microsoft and very soon to be completely out of support.
