I installed the new Secure Edge browser. Big mistake. How can I go back to the old one?

Microsoft Edge | Other | Windows 10

    Thanks for contacting. With latest version of Windows 10, the company start disabling Edge legacy (Classic Edge browser) with new Chromium based Edge browser. It means if you search for old, browser, the new Chromium browser will open.

    What you can do is use both Classic Edge and New Edge side by side. For that, you need to:

    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. 

    Reboot your computer and download Chromium based Edge browser.

    Doing this you will be able to use both old and new edge browser.

    Maybe if Edge is the default browser it won't let you uninstall it?

    The option to uninstall shows up for me and its not greyed out. I also have another browser installed though. It's possible it's not letting you uninstall without first having another browser to take its place.
