Traffic Switch from IE11 to IE7 on March 2nd?

I noticed that we're suddenly getting traffic from Internet Explorer 7 to our site as of March 2nd. On that same date, we stopped seeing traffic from Internet Explorer 11. Any idea what's going on? We're not aware of any changes on our end that would cause this. It is a very small percentage of traffic overall but it's a certain type of user who needs to use IE to access our site.

IE11 desktop web browser is disabled as of Feb 14th, 2023. In the later weeks IE is disabled and replaced with Edge in the later weeks. Maybe that is the reason you are seeing the drop-off in IE11 data, and it's strange that IE7 usage is increased. Are you getting any usage on Edge browser or not?

 

This is the IE to Edge modal:
