    Hey guys. You will see, the uninstall button of Microsoft Edge has been disabled now.

    If you're REALLY want to get the legacy version of Microsoft Edge back, please follow these steps:

    Install 'Revo Uninstaller'

    If you downloaded it, go to hunter mode.

    Run New Microsoft Edge.

    Then hold and click the GPS logo.

    Click Uninstall.

    And if something pops up to you, close all Microsoft Edge tabs.

    Then click the 'Moderate' option, and click Next.

    And if Microsoft Edge uninstaller has popped up, click Uninstall.

    Then the legacy Microsoft Edge will pop up to you!

    Enjoy~ :D (I hope this will helpful for you.)

    In Windows 10, open Settings and click on Apps and under Apps & features , look for list of apps and find Microsoft Edge and click on it and then click Uninstall and once it done, restart your PC. Then you will come back old version of Microsoft edge

    I noticed that you have a different registry key than a previous post.  Please verify which one is correct or are they both?

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

    vs (Notice the word Policies is missing between Software and Microsoft)

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate]

    Just remember, willy nilly editing of the registry can cause problems down the road. Remember that when your computer starts to not function correctly.

    I found that the New "Microsoft Edge" had some undesirable features and didn't provide several options available in the "Legacy" program.

    Removing the new version had presented the same obstacles as everyone else seems to be experiencing.

    I was able to uninstall the new version of Microsoft edge

    by following these steps

    1} Open "File Explorer"

    2} Click on "File"

    3}Scroll Down to "Desktop"

    4}Click on "This PC"

    5}Click on "OS (C)

    6}Scroll down to "PROGRAM FILES (x86)

    SPECIAL NOTE: There are 2 "Program Files Options to select. Only the "Program Files (x86) folder seems to offer the "Delete Option " for Microsoft edge.

    7}Click on "PROGRAM FILES (x86) and scroll down "Microsoft"

    8} Click on "Microsoft" and several "Edge" data lines appear.

    9}Delete all "Microsoft Edge" entries and the "New Microsoft Edge" program will be removed from your computer.

    Finally I'm about to embark on the task of restoring the "legacy" version of edge to my computer. I'm of the impression that it may not be an easy task. Stay Tuned.
