If the toolbar opens Patchs in Internet Explorer...

In June 2022 Microsoft stopped supporting Internet Explorer, so Patchs should no longer be accessed on Internet Explorer. However, some users have Internet Explorer set as their default browser for opening links. If the Patchs Toolbar opens in Internet Explorer when it starts, please change your default browser. You can do this by following these steps:

  1. In the Windows search bar type 'default apps', and click the 'Default apps' application which appears.
