    Will someone please explain to me why I have to do this garbage to change back?

    1. Uninstall Chromium browser first
    2. Launch Registry Editor
    3. Visit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

    On the right side create 32-bit dword value and name it 'Allowsxs'

    Double-click and set its value data to 1. 

    If I wanted Chromium as a browser I would have done it myself.

    Do software people make changes just to do so or it to make life miserable for the consumer.

    I thought it was showing the new changes and going to give me the option. Nope. STUPID!!! Should have purchased a MacBook.

    Thank you for the reply. I tried it but the "Uninstall" button was grayed out and wouldn't respond.

    Hi MorganRiley

    at the moment Microsoft allow us to uninstall Edge chromium which will automatically reinstate legacy Edge.

    settings -> apps -> apps and features

    click on Microsoft edge and click the uninstall button
