Edge keeps crashing in Windows 11. I have already tried quite a few troubleshooting steps suggested here and it's still not fixed. The last suggestion I received before reinstalling Windows is to reinstall Edge. (Not repair/reinstall from the Add/Remove Programs menu, I've already tried that). I did this but it doesn't look like it worked. When I opened Edge after the reinstall all my tabs re-opened and I just don't think the reinstall worked correctly. Is there a way to uninstall Edge completely and then reinstall it? The option is grayed out in the Remove programs menu.

Hello Hahn,
I have the same question BUT on Windows 10. Would you be so kind to confirm if there are any changes to the procedure?
Thanks

I followed these steps (several times) but it has failed to uninstall.
Did you follow Hahn's instructions before opening the Edge browser? I experienced that this only worked after Windows user log-in so that no Edge browser is active. The other option is to use Task Manager to "End" all "Microsoft Edge" processes before following the instuctions to remove.
Wait until you see all the apps you MUST have on your android phone! Your head will literally explode when you realize you are not allowed to remove a great many of them. Of course, Apple is worse.
Guess you are going to get rid of your mobile phone now...
Edge is needed for all the automatic web integration to work. You do not have to use it, and it is NOT spyware - at least it is not nearly as bad as Chrome is at being spyware. Google is one of the worst companies out there for spying on you and then selling all your personal info. So yeah, if you are using a mobile phone, your crying that a company forces you to keep apps you do not want to have is silly.
Sure,
First, thank you for the help, Hahn. Second, I didn't realize just how bad Edge was but it's some of the worst malware I've ever seen. It keeps screwing with my browser settings as well as trying to insert itself into being the default browser, etc. I didn't f'ing pay $200 for a copy of Windows 11 Pro just so I could be abused like this. I want Microsoft to pay me for damages. Actually, I want Microsoft to pay everyone damages, especially those of us who actually had to pay for our copy of Windows.
