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.

    When I got the machine I'm using now (less than a year old), Microsoft had done something underhanded then too: I could not switch the default browser or search engine away from Edge and Bing. Took almost two hours on the phone with HP tech support to get it done.

    This behavior by Microsoft is almost criminal going to this extent.
