Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, I have read a load of forum posts about the removal of Edge, most of the comments are from people saying the OS has only been broken, Edge is good, do what I do, just ignore it. It wasn't all that long ago and spent a few hours to remove Cortana, now I just have to click uninstall.

I know Edge is meant to be great, if it was optional, I might have considered having a look, it has been forced on me and I don't want it. Windows logs on, starts, and just works then and there. Also, my computer is usable following cold boot in half the time it was when Edge was function, literally half the time. At least, as far as I can tell MS Edge is gone, does not function, does not show in process monitor, no links work for it. old, DLLs are scary-lol) - yet, MS Edge still shows up as something installed, at least chunks of it. VALUE "OriginalFilename", "EdgeManager.dll" VALUE "LegalCopyright", "\xA9 Microsoft Corporation. VALUE "FileDescription", "Microsoft Edge Manager" VALUE "CompanyName", "Microsoft Corporation" I have found a DLL called EdgeManager, which when viewing in Resource Hacker showed this: I have found all the normal locations, none seem to be for these links. I have been search for where the computer lists the installed programs. It still shows up in the applications list, both by searching start and in the apps list in settings.

What I need some help with, is how to remove the last bits of MS Edge left lying around the system. When setting default apps, Edge is not even an option.

When doing a PS to see installed programs Edge has no install location. Great, going forward I expect to find the registry key for that and look to set for another browser. I am almost happy with my results so far.Įdge no longer has any links to it, for anything, including those links in PC settings. I tried the scripts that previously used. Included changing the IsInbox value to 0 in Sys_Repo to enable removal. Prior to that, I had tried every single other way I could find to remove it, none work anymore. So, I spent a few hours searching HDD and Registry for anything Edge related and deleted almost everything. I have been chatting / talking to MS Support for hours, they all tell me it is not possible. Well, not quite true, if my delete key works I can still delete things, even if I have to use the Take Ownership in my context menu. Now Microsoft tell me Edge is a system service and cannot be removed.
