How to revert back to the old version of EDGE

Hi there,

The modify option is equal to repair Edge.

Modify would repair Edge if it is not working properly.

Please note, If you have installed all the latest Windows updates available for you computer ( both cumulative & Feature updates), the uninstall button is available ( enabled) for Edge.

Windows settings > Apps > Edge > click on it > Uninstall

If still the uninstall button grayed out, no worries, it would be available soon for you.

Microsoft Edge is up to date. Version 84.0.522.59 (Official build) (64-bit)

Windows 10 2004 build# 19041.250

You could manually remove new Edge and restore old Edge by following the below steps for you.

Step 1: Open Command Prompt on your computer in Administrator mode. For this, just search the term “cmd” through Start Menu and right-click on the Command Prompt and then select “Run as Administrator” option.

Step 2: In the command prompt, enter the following command:

C:Program Files (x86)MicrosoftEdgeApplication83.0.478.58Installer

Step 3: Now, type the following and hit enter:

setup.exe –uninstall –system-level –verbose-logging –force-uninstall

Once the command is executed, you will notice that the new Chromium-based Edge browser has been removed from your computer.

the uninstall is grayed out, no response    Does anyone know what happens if I run the Modify  option  ?   there is no info about it   Thanks

Check other posts there are a number showing how. You need to use regedit and create a key 'allowsxs'. This must be done before the new Chromium edge is installed. If not it wont allow it. If this happens then use REVO Uninstall to remove new Edge. Create the registry entry and then when it reinstalls it you will have both but you must recreate the Icons on both desktop and task bar.

Windows Key+S. Enter 'regedit'. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

Create a new dword - Allowsxs. Set the value to 1 in hex

If you use regedit and install the key to allow side by side 'allowsxs' you can have both on your PC. Then you can run either or just legacy. However, now it appears they keep putting Chromium Edge on the task bar even though you say unpin it. They are if nothing else persistent

Hi there,

At present, the situation to run Edge chromium and  Edge old (Legacy Edge) is not available. 

Because, Edge chromium is an update to the old edge (Legacy Edge).

I mean it is same application and if we install Edge chromium on a computer, it would be an update to the existing application ( Legacy Edge). 

Edge @Chromium Edge

Old Edge @ Legacy Edge.

In normal, either Legacy Edge or Edge chromium can be run at side by side.

The steps are below,

Open start menu or search and type Group Policy Editor.

In the Group policy Editor, navigate to computer configuration.

Under Computer Configuration, navigate to Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge Update > Applications. Under Applications, select "Allow Microsoft Edge Side by Side browser experience.
