To prevent Windows 11 from re-installing Edge, follow these steps: 1. Launch the Registry Editor. 2. Navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\`. 3. Create a new folder named `EdgeUpdate` within this directory. 4. Inside the `EdgeUpdate` folder, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named `DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium`. 5. Set its value to `1`. This will prevent Windows from re-installing Edge in the future.
Hey man you're a legend for doing these videos but as the comments said on the previous one, they've literally patched it... It lets you click uninstall but nothing happens. I want to get rid of it because chromium based engines use up so much ram on my pc. I saw you have some software to help remove and optimize it but as someone who doesn't know much about pcs, I can't let myself download a random obscure app without any knowledge. If you could look into new ways to remove it without having to download anything that would be greatly appreciated.
A path would help. Instead of clicking 10 times just paste this and hit enter: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge
Should there be another instruction to make sure windows cant reinstall again on next updates etc.

@@TechWise2022 That part is also done and edge still installs, also I think the culprit is Steam, it has to be a way for Steam to prevent using Edge 😡

Let me know which method worked for you?
How do we block or stocp windows from re-installing it in updates etc.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've added the direct path to the video descriptions for easier access. Appreciate your input!
😇 this change in regedit doesn't really allow uninstalling Edge though, "uninstall" button becomes enabled but clicking on it doesn't do anything.
