Uninstall Microsoft Edge and Keep it from Coming Back

Or just use Edge Deflector and leave Edge installed.

Google Chrome NOT Really Default Browser.

Uninstalling Edge might cause issues if a cumulative update targets Edge then that update might fail to install.

Callender, Edge is to Windows 10 very similar what IE is to Windows 7? I want to learn a little more about W10.

As far as I know it can be removed but should be left installed. You're not forced to use it as default browser.

I always used to remove Legacy Edge but now keep Edge chromium installed and updated.

Agreed! I keep my Windows 7's IE fully functional. I just wanted to learn more about Edge within Windows 10.

It looks now as if Edge Deflector can no longer be selected as per its setup instructions - probably after the most recent update taking me to 19044.415. Thus e.g. clicking items in News and Interests will open Edge- no other option is available.



I'm guessing this is the same change they've made in Win 11.

I'm mystified why anyone would want to remove Edge even if you use a different browser.

This will also shut down Edge without causing problems to your computer.
