How to revert back to the old version of EDGE

how to do that run the edge and chromiun side by side

Just a note. They have installed the new Edge under the latest cumulative update. It seems no matter what you do they are forcing it. As well I have seen that even if you run the hide updates tool the new Edge keeps showing up. I believe each time you boot the PC it resets the flag so you would have to run it each time. So for now I have given up on preventing the new edge however if you use the option that adds a key to allow side by side of both Legacy and Chromium Edge you can just let them install it. All you need to do is ensure you have added the registry keys noted in other posts to allow a side by side. Then remove the desktop and task bar shortcuts of the new Chromium edge. Then add the Legacy Icon shortcut from the start menu to the desktop and task bar. This way its easy to use the old legacy Edge and the new Chromium Edge exists but only on the start menu which is fine as you can then ignore it.

Hi,

I'm Kannan, Windows community.

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.

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.

Regards,

Thank you so much!!

I don't recommend that anyone uninstall Edge for one good reason. Any method used to remove Edge makes changes to Windows 10 System and you never know when Microsoft might release an update that requires what was changed and your computer ends up a brick. If you still feel that you must remove Edge, I would suggest you try Revo uninstaller. You can download it here; https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/. Then you can download and install the tool to block any unwanted future updates. You can also check this out: 

Open Regedit and back up key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState{56EB18F8-B008-4CBD-B6D2-8C97FE7E9062}

Then delete it. ONLY after backing up. This is the key that informs Windows the new awful browser update is engaged. You will need to restore it later.

Reboot.

Now, add the following key in RegEdit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate]

"Allowsxs"=dword:00000001

This tells Windows to allow legacy edge as well as an awful edge.

Reboot.

So now you have the legacy edge link as well as the new one on your Start Screen all apps.

The last thing, now you should restore the backed-up key that I told you to keep at the beginning. MS recommends you don't remove this key, so best to restore it.

Everything is now fine again.

I hope this helps, and if you need any further assistance, please post, and we will be glad to assist you.
