Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I installed the new Secure Edge browser. Big mistake. How can I go back to the old one?

how do i get rid of new edge down load not requested
Download and run 'Hide Updates' diagnostic tool (wushowhide.diagcab), just Google it. There are many posts about it. Run the tool when new edge update appears see below for numbers. Its heading says 'Edge Update'
Can't imagine why Microsoft develop the new version of Edge that is so much worse off than the old version. I lost all my favorite features of editing on Edge. And now they don't even let us Uninstall the new Edge to go back to old version! I want the old Edge back!
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.
