    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.

    Source - https://geekermag.com/use-microsoft-edge-chromium-classic-edge-side-by-side/

    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?

    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

    in settings -> apps -> apps & features

    when you click on Microsoft edge is there a number under the name? or is there an advanced options link?

    if it has "advanced options" click on that and let me know the version number.
