Download Uninstall Edge Browser For Windows 11
Bonny Nolder
If you installed Microsoft Edge by downloading the browser manually, rather than it installing automatically through Windows Update, you should be able to uninstall it using the following simple method.
By following these steps and considering potential consequences, you can successfully uninstall Microsoft Edge from your Windows 10 computer. Be careful while executing the commands and make informed decisions when removing this built-in web browser.
Several browsers such as Firefox or Opera GX can be installed by the user. Microsoft Edge, on the other hand, is the default web browser that comes pre-installed with Windows. Uninstalling Microsoft Edge is more difficult than you might expect. However, there are several ways to remove the browser from your computer. But before you get started, keep in mind that it is generally not recommended to uninstall Edge as this app is deeply integrated into the system.
If you uninstalled your Microsoft Edge browser using the script in this link, or for any reason what-soever you can't reinstall Edge using the tuturial here, all you gotta do is to perform an in-place upgrade with Windows 10.
Since installing Chrome in the work profile, sometime since May, I now cannot uninstall it. I am only able to uninstall the updates so Chrome is still there and still my default browser (on work profile). Even on a Samsung device that also does not come with Chrome, cannot uninstall Chrome.
You can now uninstall Edge or apply other EU-exclusive changes, even if you live in the United States or another country. Tip: repair Edge in the Control Panel if you see the uninstall button in the context menu, but the same button is grayed out in the Settings app. After that, Windows should let you delete the browser. In addition, the change should persist when installing updates or running "health-restoring" commands (DISM).
Microsoft Edge is the web browser recommended by Microsoft and is the default web browser for Windows. Because Windows supports applications that rely on the web platform, our default web browser is an essential component of our operating system and can't be uninstalled.

I use Firefox. On my win 8.1 desktop both IE 11 and Edge show as using a lot of memory in task mgr, but, neither works. Edge comes up with a blank page, IE 11 comes up showing all but will not download any web page at all since I unfortunately installed Edge with win update. Will re-check Turn Windows Features on or off and see what is there. Thanks for the suggestion. Still concerned that If I delete Edge from 8.1 that it might mess up something else.

If it is not true for you, it isn't true.TonyT,#42021/03/04Lifetime SubscriptionMarv6Well-Known MemberThread StarterJoined:2002/01/07Messages:423Likes Received:0 Thanks TonyT, I tried uninstalling it with revo, did not work said that I needed to close Edge and start over so I went straight to windows uninstall and it worked. I then deleted the KB4567409 and today when it said that the update was available I hide it. When I first tried to uninstall the system went crazy and the edge.exe file kept trying to load and reload started getting messages that my memory was really low and I got a blank screen. rebooted and uninstalled thru windows uninstall. Computer is currently working just fine and IE 11 is now working too, but, very very slow. I will stick to Firefox.

As I said in my earlier Post, MS's new Edge is the "Flagship" and the first version of Edge is not to be supported.
IE is still in use but MS consider Edge to be better and hence the endeavour to get Windows users to use the "newest" browser.
MS would also prefer users to update from W8/8.1 to W10 so this may your next problem. retiredlearner,#62021/03/06Patrick LeblancNew MemberJoined:2021/03/06Messages:3Likes Received:0 have u tried to go into old configuration panel and reset Internet Explorer options back to defaults? and in revo u need to uninstall a windows apps or modern as they being called nowaday... cause it's managed by a user called trusted-installer on windows even if 7/8/8.1 or 10... but better use a tweaker to get rid of edge cause it stopped all the service microsoft edge runs in the background... so u can use any web browser u'd like... search for that on the net... but yeah u can get rid of edge without affecting the fact u could still be able to update your system... and won't get bothered by microsoft... and the use of their apps... but i'll try first to go into the old configuration panel and check to reset my internet explorer 11 settings or even reset them back to their defaults... but yeah without troubles u can get rid of edge and boycott microsoft and their apps... without doing damages to your computer... doubt it's the update KB###### messing things up in your system... Last edited: 2021/03/06Patrick Leblanc,#72021/03/06Lifetime SubscriptionMarv6Well-Known MemberThread StarterJoined:2002/01/07Messages:423Likes Received:0 Thanks Patrick, Was able to uninstall Edge using using Control Panel, Programs, uninstall a Program. After uninstalling Edge, IE 11 started working again(but too slow). Still don't understand why the KB###### to install Edge did not install it properly to begin with? And, when I tried to reinstall it again the installation just hung up. Since I really don't use it glad I was able to get rid of it. Would have preferred Revo because it gets rid of more stuff than the windows uninstaller. Would like to reset IE 11 but where is the old configuration panel? thanks again!

This should be your best bet Marv6. retiredlearner,#92021/03/06Lifetime SubscriptionMarv6Well-Known MemberThread StarterJoined:2002/01/07Messages:423Likes Received:0 Thank you retiredlearner will give it a try. Marv6,#102021/03/12Lifetime SubscriptionMarv6Well-Known MemberThread StarterJoined:2002/01/07Messages:423Likes Received:0 retiredlearner, FYI, tried the repair and it now works a little better but still as slow as molasses on a cold day. Think I will uncheck it in Programs and Features Turn windows features on or off, and, take another look at it later. Marv6,#112021/05/09Patrick LeblancNew MemberJoined:2021/03/06Messages:3Likes Received:0 yeah this could work too... but for old control panel u got to press WIN + R then type "Control" then hit Enter... then u'll see "Internet Options" open it then hit the advanced tab and at bottom a button to reset to default Patrick Leblanc,#122021/05/09Lifetime SubscriptionMarv6Well-Known MemberThread StarterJoined:2002/01/07Messages:423Likes Received:0 Thanks Patrick, did as you suggested and while it now sorta works it is still very slow!

Can you post your specs of your desktop and if your desktop PC has a hard drive or an SSD?
An SSD upgrade might be the easiest way of improving your system performance along with upgrading your system to Windows 10. Nickname: Terminator

Why not charm people into trying Edge with Windows 10? Telling them they can't uninstall it isn't charming. Why not entice users to use Edge for a week and see if it's an improvement on their existing browser? If you have confidence in your new product -- and Microsoft should have -- show it.
Microsoft Edge is a browser that was launched simultaneously with the first version of Windows 10 in 2015. It is built into the operation system, so we can not remove it in standard ways, which include also using any of best uninstallers.
