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.

    Stinks, doesn't it?  You pay top dollar for a computer yet they dictate to you what you can and cannot do.  The customers' wants do not seem to matter to them.

    I completely and totally agree with you. This entire bully move by Microsoft is in total violation of our rights to privacy and our rights, as consumers to choose. It feels like rape to me and a download like that on my older  Dell would likely crash it. Is Microsoft willing to pay for our computers when they crash?  Is there a warranty that this download will not harm us or our data

    computer systems or our data. Last time they downloaded this Edge Chrome, nothing worked right and it took a master technician, I had to pay, to straighten things out. Now the Techs are not even able to install the stupid thing. If you want to start a petition and, or start a master letter to the ICC or IC3, I'm with you 100% and I'll be many others, as well would sign it.

    It allows me to uninstall updates except for the very last one installed about a week ago which really changed things.  I don't even get the 'modify' button to do anything.

    I'm not a genius either, when it comes to pc's.  I just wish someone with knowledge would jump in here and tell us what we can do.  My computer is just a couple months old.  I wish I had kept my old one, even though it had Windows 7 on it.  I don't care that they no longer support Windows 7 because they are certainly not supporting their customers who hate this new Edge.
