How do I remove Microsoft Edge From Windows 10?

Edge is her to stay, just like the Calculator app or any of the many other apps that are part of Windows. Windows has to have at least one browser that the user can't uninstall. 

So, just install a browser of your choice and make it the default. Problem solved. People all over the world do that and get on with their day. You should try it, it would be less stressful for you.

Comments like that should be banned. THAT IS NOT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. Not using Edge WILL NOT remove it from the PC, so problem is not solved. I never agreed to popups asking if i want to change file association. I never used Edge as default browser, but there is still ad for it when i start search, and Edge is always offered as a result before typing. When I install other web browser or .pdf viewer, Edge still tries to hijack the extensions. For some browsers and apps Windows won't let me to chose them, but offers Edge as alternative. So, ignoring it IS NOT A SOLUTION. Thread is

"How do I remove Microsoft Edge From Windows 10?" So stop annoying people with fake solutions.

I did this ...

Press WIN+R to open Run then type: C:\Windows\SystemApps

Find Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder.

Right-click the Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder and click Rename.

Rename the folder Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe.old and click Continue.

Edge is still set up and not permitting me to get to any work. 

Is there a help desk I can call? 

Maybe someone can explain the obsession with uninstalling Edge these days? I use IOS and Mac OS and both come with Safari browser and neither OS allows Safari to be uninstalled. I have frustrations with Windows 10 for sure, but getting rid of Edge is not one of them. 

Well…..  I have an obsession with trying to use the essential new computer that I struggled to afford; delivered in June but only usable on the first 3 days, thanks to this Windows update gatecrashing before I'd had time to prepare for any updates, let alone Windows ones.  (Apart, that is, from having set Windows updates to Manual before the laptop's first internet connection).

Nobody's to blame of course for being unfamiliar with problems that aren't being publicised (and tech journalists' articles for magazines etc take so long to reach the public).  And it's nice to know that many users like yourself were lucky with this update.  ('Lucky' because no pattern seems to have emerged yet for who gets a problem-free update and who gets a slowdown or worse).  I know now (thanks to user forums) that uninstalling Edge would probably only worsen my problem.  But it's only natural to consider doing what's always been the first thing to try for problems following any normal installation!

To certain other contributors here, I'd like to point out that most of us are bright enough to know that a browser default can be changed, and most of us even know how!  And from what I've read so far, most have tried it and nobody's found that it makes any difference whatever to damage from the update, whether done before it, after it or both.

It's not surprising that people are getting confused about what the problem is, (given its low profile).  For anyone curious about it, a read of the topic linked below should explain.  And if you can find any pattern to which systems it affects, you deserve a reward for services to humanity!

I had at least not had time to put any data into my laptop, so that's one less complication!  And I'm one of those whose computer will still function, even if it is only in Safe Mode.  But I'm still keeping the laptop offline as far as possible until I stumble on a solution (or Microsoft comes up with one….).

Speaking of which, I'm finding this other Microsoft community thread very useful for things to try, that users have posted from their own experience.
