Microsoft edge has disappeared from programs and features

Cerawy said:

I was thinking that it might be possible to bring it back, by tweaking the registy? If you created a new dword parameter for microsoft edge and named it systemcomponent, and set its value to 0, would that bring the icon back?

Don't know.

To be clear, you are referring to the Control Panel Programs and Features where it is not listed ?

- Is it listed under Apps and Features ?

- Have you ever tried to uninstall Edge ? Or disenable ?

- I would try a System Restore before tweaking the registry.

- Lastly, is Edge and your System current with all updates ?

If you google the issue there are others with the issue. One states it is not listed to prevent attempts to uninstall.

I don't have any system restore points, from when it was showing up in programs and features.

Is this a microsoft employee who has said that?

Don't think so. Curious about your issue, I googled and saw that in a reply. Can't find the link now.
