Troubleshooting browser crashes or performance issues on Windows 11
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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.

"Currently, Microsoft Edge does not support uninstallation"
No, but no application file = no workie!
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Microsoft
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.
Okay, why does this sound like a politician? So, if another product is worse, it makes the lesser one a-okay? The lesser of 2, 3, 4 evils? What a sad techno-geek world this is becoming. Edge isn't only offensive and tries to take over other browsers, but Microsoft Teams keeps making me mad. I keep taking it out of start-up apps, because my resources are decreasing as software demands increase. I don't want things running in the background that I rarely use. MT automatically puts itself back in the start-up list just because you use it ... every single time. I have to keep taking it out after use. It's not my decision to use that piece of ****; it was an organizational decision and I'm not the Executive Director.
All of this is abusing our computers/devices. Edge is only needed because you're brainwashed into believing integrating every-damn-thing is necessary. NO.IT.ISN'T. Their tech support doesn't even know what's going on, because you can drive an army of trucks between tech support & development. Tech support has no clue what development is doing and don't/can't even communicate with them anymore. My former career? Software consultant. They are making these decisions to spite everyone and end up spying on any & everybody. Man-handling our computers with software. SMFH These companies don't own or pay for our devices while acting like they do. Microsoft is a big, fat monopoly where there is no viable choice but to use them. Same with the other companies. Therefore, if they abuse us less than Apple or Google, we should be grateful for that? Pulease, you sound insane, and goodnight.
Happy New Year everybody.
Then, here's an idea, let us be rid of the absolutely garbage browser instead of making it stay on our devices where it causes system crashes. I own this device and can't keep it from launching Edge whenever I try to do anything at all, and then it tends to crash my device, there are no viruses or anything it is just the garbage app. I want to remove it because even Internet Explorer was better, it takes up loads of space, and can not be turned off or replaced as the default browser when I try to open anything from my computer. At this point it isn't a system preference, I am a hostage, I can not use the computer that I own for anything but this stupid browser. I want it gone and I want it gone now before I look at legal actions since this is officially ransomware by Microsoft and you have stolen thousands from me and are forcing me to use your browser for your financial gain. That's the literal definition of EXTORSION.

Here are just a few things, 1) I consented to use Chrome and was not forced to 2) edge is not actually vital to these apps it's just the one they have coded in, if you actually knew CS you would know how silly it is to insist it's the only way it will work, and finally 3) the apps on ones phone that can't be uninstalled are limited to system coding lmfao not a random browser that tracks the entire computer even when it's not running but the computer is like edge does. You can force stop, send to dormancy, or simply remove the offending file, unlike Edge in every way. maybe you should learn up on CS before trying to act like a tw*t to make yourself feel important.
