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.

    Mine did the same thing.  I finally called Microsoft directly (1-800-642-7676) and it took about two hours for them to remove it and bring it back to the Legacy edition.

    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.

    Uninstall for Edge 4.1 (Update) is GREYED-OUT on my latest Windows 10 Home sitting here at HOME.

    HUH? & a Holy ****!!!

    Somewhere in this series of posts, I gave Microsoft's phone number.  I called them directly and after a couple hours, they had removed the updated version and gave me my old one back.  I am so much happier with the earlier version.
