How to Uninstall Microsoft Edge in Windows 11/10
0This tutorial explains how to uninstall or disable Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Since Microsoft Edge is a core component of the Windows operating system, it cannot be completely removed using standard methods. However, the video shows two practical ways to either uninstall an update-based version of Edge (if available) or disable it from starting automatically during system startup.
The first method involves navigating to the Windows Settings. You begin by opening the Start menu, typing “Settings,” and selecting the app. From there, head to the 'Apps' section and then to 'Installed apps' (or 'Apps & features' in some versions). Once inside, search for "Microsoft Edge." If the "Uninstall" button is available, you can proceed by clicking the three-dot icon next to Edge and choosing 'Uninstall'. However, in most cases, this option is grayed out since Edge is deeply integrated into Windows.
If you cannot uninstall it, the video shows how to prevent Microsoft Edge from running on startup. You do this by going back into Settings, clicking on 'Accounts', then navigating to 'Sign-in options'. Here, under the 'Privacy' section, you'll find an option labeled "Automatically save my restartable apps when I sign out and restart them after I sign in." Toggling this off can help reduce Microsoft Edge auto-launching during startup.
Lastly, the tutorial suggests using the traditional Control Panel. You open it by searching "Control Panel" from the Start menu, go to 'Programs', then 'Uninstall a program', and check if Microsoft Edge appears there. If it does, you may be able to uninstall it from this panel, but this depends on how Edge was installed on your system (e.g., manually vs preinstalled by Windows updates).
