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.

    I was not able to uninstall Edge, but I found a workaround - Use Chrome with the Kami Extension.

    I tried to removev it via Powershell, and this is what Powershell said:

    Remove-AppxPackage : The request is not supported.

    error 0x80070032: AppX Deployment Remove operation on package

    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_44.18362.449.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe from:

    C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe failed. This app is part of Windows and cannot be

    uninstalled on a per-user basis. An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows

    Features on or off. However, it may not be possible to uninstall the app.

    What's a Kami Extension, if I may ask?  I know so little about this!  Thanks for your help.

    Windows 10 comes with both Edge and Internet Explorer. You cannot really uninstall either of them but you CAN set any browser you want as your default browser (Whether it is Google with all its Spyware or DuckDuckGo or whatever) by using the appropriate tool on your device.

    DEFAULT APPS

    Select that and set your browser to whatever one you have installed that you like and that is the one that will always open 😁
