  Yes, but it doesn't work. It might be because people opt-out, they disable updates, or maybe IE is mostly used in corporate envs where people don't autoupdate anyway. I don't know WHY, but numbers show that it doesn't work. IE11 has been released on October 2013 (8 months ago), but IE10 market share is still 6.77% today (compare with IE11 at 17.03%). I'm quoting NetMarketShare (but it doesn't really matter, all browser stats agree on this topic, with slightly different numbers). For comparison, Chrome and Firefox versions usually go under 1% after no more than 4 months after a newer version has been released.
