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

    Really missing the Surface pen stuff (pressure sensitive, not drawing using finger, marking up text), and DOUCHEBAG MOVE M$ to make it impossible for some to revert and uninstall without installing Windows from scratch.

    Thanks AestheticalBloxy -  

    Your information got me back to Edge Legacy.  I am usually not one to download stuff since I got a virus doing that one time, but I was so frustrated with this new Edge I decided to give it a try.  It was a simple fix, unlike some of the other suggestions.  I will be keeping the Revo Uninstaller, in case the "new" Edge comes back.  Thanks for the help.

    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.

    I agree. I kept ignoring the prompts to change to the new Edge, so they slipped it in on an update without telling me. Now, I want my old Edge back and can't uninstall it. Why can't they ask yes or no if you want something and then leave you alone????
