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.

    Hi JohnSutter2

    At the moment you can uninstall edge chromium which will restore legacy edge.

    settings -> apps -> Apps & features

    click on microsoft edge and click the uninstall button.

    microsoft may, of course, change this in the future.

    The Uninstall button is greyed out. I'm logged in as administrator.

    the update removes features I use almost daily for work.

    I use Microsoft Edge so I haven't tried to uninstall it but have you clicked on Start and looked at your Apps for Microsoft Edge then right click on it. If that doesn't work check Windows Powershell.

    @AVChick     Here is what I see once my mouse pointer is placed on the Uninstall. A person clicking on it should start the Uninstall.
