We know Internet Explorer will be discontinued in Windows 10, being replaced by the new Microsoft Edge (formerly codenamed "Project Spartan").
There are millions of apps using TWebbrowser, a component that uses the Internet Explorer API.
Does anybody have information about how those applications will work in future versions of Windows? How can we be prepared to keep our applications working in future Windows versions?

Starting in 2020, "Microsoft Edge" refers to a brand-new browser. Microsoft is calling the old one "Edge Legacy" and won't actively support it. The biggest difference with the new version of Microsoft Edge is that it's based on Chromium. If you're not familiar, Chromium is an open-source browser project made by Google.
It's easiest to keep legacy Edge available before the new Edge gets automatically installed, by running the Chromium Edge Blocker Toolkit (at an admin command prompt). This creates the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate and the DWORD DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium with the value of 1.
Open the Settings app and click Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters. Run the Internet Connections, Program Compatibility Troubleshooter, and Windows Store Apps troubleshooters to scan and automatically fix any problems which could potentially be causing Microsoft Edge problems.
According to IE Blog
Internet Explorer 11 will remain fundamentally unchanged from Windows 8.1, continuing to host the legacy engine exclusively.
So IE (and mshtml.dll) is not going to disappear, it will exist in Windows 10 for backward compatibility so TWebbrowser should still work in next version of Windows.
