Does WebBrowser always use the User's installed IE?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
If i create a WindowsForms Application with a WebBrowser, does it use the current IE Version i have installed on my computer?
And if i give this Application to someone else, and the other person has a older IE installed, does the Application then use the older IE, that is installed on the other's person computer?

Yes and no. It uses whatever IE is installed on their PC, but at least for native apps it defaults the behavior to acting as IE 7 for backwards compatibility. You have to set registry keys to tell Windows to run IE as the actual version. For .NET perhaps you can use a manifest entry instead?

It always uses IE 7's rendering mode. To change it you need to make a registry change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
or for a 32bit application on a 64bit machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMainFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
set the keyname to be the name of your application executable then the value to:
11001 (0x2AF9) - force IE 11 mode
11001 (0x2AF8) - IE 11 mode
See Rick Strahl's blog post for more information. This answer is based on that.
If you make the registry change on your PC to force IE 11 rendering then give the application to someone else their PC will use IE 7 rendering unless you make the same registry change on their machine.
