    Check other posts there are a number showing how. You need to use regedit and create a key 'allowsxs'. This must be done before the new Chromium edge is installed. If not it wont allow it. If this happens then use REVO Uninstall to remove new Edge. Create the registry entry and then when it reinstalls it you will have both but you must recreate the Icons on both desktop and task bar.

    Windows Key+S. Enter 'regedit'. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

    Create a new dword - Allowsxs. Set the value to 1 in hex

    Hi there,

    The modify option is equal to repair Edge.

    Modify would repair Edge if it is not working properly.

    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.

    Microsoft Edge is up to date. Version 84.0.522.59 (Official build) (64-bit)

    Windows 10 2004 build# 19041.250

    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,

    Kannan
