    Hi ,

    I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

    I'm afraid that there is no method or registry hack to remove or uninstall Microsoft Edge in Windows 10/11. Microsoft Edge is the web browser recommended by Microsoft and is the default web browser for Windows. Because Windows supports applications that rely on the web platform, Microsoft's default web browser is an essential component of the operating system and can’t be uninstalled. To provide Windows users with compatibility, compliance, accessibility, and performance, Microsoft will continue updating Microsoft Edge through the browser installer or Windows updates.

    However, you have the option to change your default web browser if you dont want to use Microsoft Edge:
