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.

    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 😁

    Hello, My name is Richard and I will do my best to help you with your issue. You Can try one of the 2 Methos below

    1. Since Microsoft decided to make Edge uninstallable I have been searching for a way around this. Recently, I found a program called Revo Uninstaller. All you have to do is download and install it, follow instructions, and highlight Edge, click on uninstall and when down the old Edge will be back. They have a free version and can be downloaded here:https://www.revouninstaller.com/

    Just remember this is a non-Microsoft site that appears to be given good information and this solution may not work for everyone or change with the next Microsoft Update

     I hope this helps and if you need any further assistance please post and we will be glad to assist you.

    When I go to settings, then apps and features, then go to microsoft edge, uninstall is greyed out. I've tried to click on it anyway, but, of course nothing happens.
