How to Uninstall/Reinstall Edge

Anonymous

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.

    Yes, I got 2 replies. As is often the case, the "next click on ......" did not exist, could not find it on the menu from the last step, and so no help.
    However I did discover that if I right-clicked the internet link that I had saved that Edge had taken over and would not give me the url to share it, I could change the Open With back to Chrome (my default browser) and now I have control over my saved internet links once again (Y).
