How do I uninstall the Microsoft Edge "Update" on my computer?  I accidentally installed it and I don't even use Microsoft Edge.  I know I can't uninstall Microsoft Edge, but hopefully I can at least uninstall the Update.  It really, really stinks Microsoft forces people to have Edge on their computer because it just takes up storage space, slows your computer down and the browser tracks your surfing history.

    But will disabling the new version give us Legacy Edge back? :-) I need Edge back so I can write neatly again - nothing seems to work properly with pdf files and the Surface Pro pen. My recent work looks like I wrote it on a bus on a bumpy road and that's entirely due to the software inadequacies.

    It's a strange use of a web browser, perhaps - freehand PDF editing - but that's what I bought this computer for! That's what I do and what I need to do!! I can't understand why there doesn't seem to be a decent tool designed for this job.

    C:\Windows\SystemApps. Look for Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder. Add any random symbol to the end of that name. This will disable it. You can't uninstall it.
