Thx Brian, your videos are great, pls bear in mind that FWIW , Avast said that something about the link had some potential infection re: URL:blacklist or suchlike, Didn't stop me reading the article etc as linked.
I did the ViveTool thing but it doesn't change anything. What is it supposed to do?
@@amarsrayer8141 Same here, did you find a fix?
@@OlettaLiano remove windows web experience
"Cannot edit devoce region:error writing the value's new conten."
Any another step?
Nice work Brian - you're on your toes mate! Thanx 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Dunno if it's an update that's stopped it but it wont allow me to change the region to 94, it says "Cannot edit DeviceRegion. Error writing the value's new contents".
Some of the videos you make don't apply to me, but I like to start my day with a coffee and a Britec09 video, nice job Brian, I look forward to the next video.
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much! Much appreciated, bc their side bar and background running its just driving me crazy.
Thanks for sharing and spreading the knowledge! I truly wish this new ability to uninstall without any tricks wasn't exclusive to the EU where they had to pass laws in order for MS to do the right thing. I am so tired of complaining about Microsoft and other non freedom respecting companies. I truly am. You should be allowed to uninstall a web browser if that's what you want to do. On an OS that will cost 100 dollars for a genuine license, nonetheless.
Thanks Brian that very interesting to know that we may all get this option by default, about bloody time
I'm more interested in killing the snooping features on Microsoft Edge than uninstalling it completely. In my opinion the browser isn't the problem it's Microsoft's desire to snoop on people that's the problem.
But Edge --> Bing are M$oft's principal tools for leveraging their snooping on people (besides w11/10). I'd characterise it less as snooping, more about monetising, harvesting for gain just like Google, Meta, Apple & the rest. But M$oft are more coy, opaque & oblique in their targetting, to my mind. And their lies over "it's all for a better experience for you" make me see red
No one cares about your furry porn
In a pinch you can delete the \program files\microsoft folders (as long as all msedge tasks are killed) and disable all scheduled Edge tasks
Hi I followed your instructions and got as far as device region and when I tried to change it to 94 it would not accept is with an error "cannot edit DeviceRegion Error writing the value's new contents can you advise please
Do you need to change those registry values back afterwards, or not? Or if you do, presumably the next Windows update will reinstall all the bloat?
Thank you for your video as they are always very helpful and i have managed to change quite a few things on my PC through them. On this occasion it did not work after following the steps. Windows said it could not make the changes.
Brilliant. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing
🏆🤗💙🙏
You are so welcome
Nice one Brian I do like your regedit hacks as i have followed you since Windows 7 days and I now live in Australia (expat Sussex) where currently you cannot uninstall Edge and this will be so helpful mate. I am left just wondering why the hell does Microsoft make up these absolutely ridiculous rules/situations like this one with Edge as I can see no reason for them to do that!! It smacks of either incompetence or sheer bloody mindedness.
I'm on Win 11 23H2 with all latest updates. Followed this method to the T and it didn't work on my system. The uninstall option is still grayed out. I went over it two times in case I'd made a mistake. Also rebooted each time. Strangely it's still shows my original country under region not Germany.
Exactly same procedure and result for me too. Another hack that doesn't work for me!
Exactly same procedure and result for me too, sorry to say...🤔
I bought my laptop in France. I'm in Algeria. All the region related keys were already set to 84 (FR), I added EnablePreviewBuilds set to 1 but after reboot it is set to 110 and I still can't uninstall Edge.
Hack did not work for me either. I'm located in the US, changed to DE as in the video, but Edge was greyed out.
@@amarsrayer8141 That's what I got as well.
Thank you so much for this information.
You are so welcome!
For sure, I'll be doing this.
Would Revo Uninstaller do the same thing?
Brilliant !!
What happens to links and stuff that you click on that need Edge to render when there is no Edge? The whole PC doesnt even respect the default browser change, so frustrating.
This is the BEST news I've heard about Microsoft in at least 10 years! Still some way to go for the EU to once and for all wean Big Tech off their greedy data- and vendor lock-in habits. Let's hope the EU keeps kicking them in the right direction, LOL.
Will it work on Win 10 too?
Another great video Brian, I stumbled at the 1st registry change, as I was told that I cannot edit "DeviceRegion". I was in the Admin account at the time. Have Microsoft closed the ability to change this?
Same story
Same for me, "Cannot edit DeviceRegion: Errorwriting the value's new contents"
@@MarkMicallef , same with me.
Always helpful video's but which version are you using? Because with version 23H2 it doesn't work in The Netherlands.
Thanks
23H2 it doesn't work in italy
You always come handy with your exciting tips and tricks, thanks a lot. Love from INDIA 🇮🇳, Keep it up bro
My pleasure!
But it didn't work in India . What about you
@@AspirantKanishka Why would I un-install if I need it badly! So thanks for the update and trying on your end that it does not work in India
@anuraggoel4742 I wanted to install thorium browser that's why . Thanks for responding bhaiyya
@@AspirantKanishka you are welcome bro. 😊 knowledge sharing is always gud and keep up the gud work. ThankYou again.
Not working for me? tried several times exactly as described and the dreaded edge does not have the uninstall option as it is greyed out (unselectable) as an option after the fix? Windows 11.
Same with me.

another way is Revo Uninstaller, Download the program, then at the top, click uninstall apps (or Windows Apps,) then click advanced this way there's no need to to go into the registry editor.
It will reinstall itself in the background a few days later, I don't know how to stop that, but I've uninstalled it about five times now then hey presto it's back.
did you do the advanced ninstal? removing all regisry keys and files?@@RighAlban
you must also uninstill Edgewebview 2 runtime@@RighAlban
@@RighAlban I wonder if there's a way to block the install with a policy or a firewall rule.
My problem is I can’t get Edge to run on my fairly new Win 11 laptop. Wherever I go to launch it (desktop, start menu, program files) nothing happens. I’ve reinstalled it but it just won’t run.
thank you
What do you do when it won't let you change the Device Region and gives you a message that reads "Cannot edit Device Reigon: Error writing the value's new contents."?
Hi, I've followed your instruction. I live in Spain an my pc is Dutch. In the register (opend as admin) the first key you have to change is set to 176 (the netherlands) the second one aswell. But I'm not able to un install Edge. So I changed the numbers to Spain (217) the first key I can't change. The second one is now set to Spain. the warning I get is the following: Can't not change DeviceRegion: There's a fault during the writing of the new value. (free translation of the dutch message)
I'm in EU, but the Edge still sits on my computer and no option to uninstall it the way you described.
same here
Same
Doesn't work in the ARM version, unfortunately.
Great video but edge will still keep redownloading over and over... right?
All my browsers crash frequently (almost every time I open them) what should I do. Please help anyone
Hi does this method work on windows 10 please or just for 11?
I'm wondering this too
Me to, what I see the answer is no.....
It won't allow me to change DeviceRegion even in Administrator
Followed this method to the T and it didn't work on my system Windows 10
Hi Britec nice video but I tray 3 times but cant unnstal how come?
You are the best. As usual. 👍
Thank you! 😃
Not much good for me. I'm in Australia. However, I was told that it is impossible to fully back up & restore the registry.
this did not work for me but i think its from my end trying to get it off with a past attempt or the window update i done earlier but i will definitely try it again with a fresh install of windows thank you
Revo Uninstaller works very nicely even though a person cannot do it manually. You just have to use hunter mode. I have used it several times recently and it works well.
Just make sure tou delete left over files afterwards.
I tried but my region should read GB but is 244 USW. This blocked me changing to EEA
Hi Brian, can this be done in Win 10? Cheers from Guyana (south america)
it says in the description remove edge and bing search from windows 10 and windows 11
Yes, if your having trouble with this working, follow instructions on my pinned comment
Error even as admin windows won let you change region. Fails on latest windows 10
Won't it affect my Windows 11 license? I just upgraded to Windows 11 Pro
Does any of this apply to Windows 10 also ?
Good question.
the uninstall option appears but even after clicking uninstall edge does not go away, it just stays there as if i didn't click uninstall
This is no working on Win 11 pro 22H2.
the box is still grey .cant uninstall.
I live in germany and I am still unable to unistall Edge. I have the newest Updates with 23H2
did u fix the issue?
@@uconsaa yeah ok win 10 you will now be able to uninstall Edge bit on Windows 11 judt with Scripts
it reverts back all the changes after I restarted the pc
Sweden (221) here, Win 10 last updated 2/2 14:35, and it doesn't work. Strange. Maybe I need to reboot the machine first?
Nope, one reboot later, and it's still a greyed out Uninstall button.
So, no, this is only Windows 11, like it's said in the video.
I guess by the time I saw this, MS has fortified the registry so that I can't change my location.
If i don't change country code back Will this cause a problem with updates ?
Knowing Microsoft, most likely it will.
@@komkwam Good question. I wondered about that myself. Should not matter so long as you use English language and a QWERTY kbd layout.
I bet that table of locations gets zapped sometime LOL.
yeah, next update will zap all this.
I'm in Hungary, but can't uninstall the Edge with the latest Windows 11 version. I couldn't do it after your method was done.
I got 64 bits. It gives diffrent respose once I clicked on International.
Dont work for win11 arm but nothing was needed for win server 2025 evaluation. Enabled right out of the box
I'm located in the US. Followed procedure as per video, but did not work.
Does not work. Registry refuses to change region "Cannot edit DeviceRegion: Error writing the value´s new contents".
thankyou homme anglais
it is telling me that I can't edit the device region, what should I do?
Same here.
Funniest thing for me was when I clicked on this video, guess who's advert was shoved in my face at the outset ... yeah you guessed it, M$. Seemed such a bizarre co-incidence. Almost as if they wanted to "get their retaliation in 1st" 🙂
Hey Brian. I duplicated what you did exactly and Uninstall is still grayed out. No uninstall option.
Did you restart PC
Update the computer
Hey britec your.vids really help also im first
Thanks
Won't Microsoft re-install Edge & Bing next time they Update/upgrade windows software?
Historically, that is a possibility.
Good 👍🏻 to remove the annoying edge from your pc this program is really intrusive
I tried following your instructions on a Windows 10 Pro computer and it did not work. I repeated all the steps a second time just to make sure I didn't miss a step, and it still did not work.
He did say at the beginning Windows 11 so maybe not possible to remove on other versions of Windows?

Unable to edit DeviceRegion
what about for the United Sates?
Yes, works with US, just follow video and check my pinned comment
I installed the Rufus app from the Microsoft store, and I can’t uninstall it. It also didn’t work. Useless app. All optional software should have an uninstall option.
dont work for me win 23H2
I uninstalled Edge from Windows 10 , and this caused an update to fail, giving some useless error code. I finally found the clue to the problem 6 months later on some obscure web site.
don't work ...from PL .. i doing all same step from you so i no have idea ... but u lucky can unistall medge
Just tried it on win10 and it doesn't work
MS has fortified the registry so that I, "Can Not Edit Region"
Before attempting this, make sure you are on Windows 10 build 19045.3757 or Windows 11 build 22621/31.2787 or higher.
Followed your instructions, the uninstall button came back, but nothing happened when I clicked on it.
you can not edit device region anymore , it sucks!
And there is a guarantee that it dosn't comback after Windows Updates?
Nope, it won't come back
Thanks Brian@@Britec09
Didn't work here in USA, followed it to a T as of March 7th 2024😢
Neither method worked here in Aus
It didnt' work even with Vivetool.
that doesn't work for me
Did you know that every time you say "haitch" a little labrador puppy dies?
It doesn't work - it won't let you change the device's region. PLEASE give solutions that actually work.
Unfortunately, this didn’t work for me, Win10 or Win11.
New update wont let you access device region at all... windows realy doesnt want you to uninstall their shit software
To be honest Edge is pretty good. On one of my laptops with Windows 11 running, Firefox runs like a chump when scrolling through youtube. But Edge is smooth and looking at the task manager Edge is consuming less ram, and doesn't tax the iGPU as much in the same tasks. Before anybody jumps in with a "but their spying on you", If you live in a five eyes country, you're screwed anyway and Edge is the least of your concerns if you value privacy!
there's commercial spying, like M$oft Edge/Bing, and there's governmental spying, as in NSA/GCHQ. One you can fix by not voting for Brexit 🙂
If you value your privacy, *all* vectors of data snooping are equally relevant.
To dismiss Edge as if it's less important than other privacy factors is just as bad as the dog in the burning room meme saying "This is fine"
@southernflatland I get that. But to assume you have privacy at all in a five eyes country is delusion. Bank accounts, CCTV everywhere such as in shops, ATM machines, car parks, Cinema etc, postal service, chat logs, phone calls etc can and are all monitored. I used to use freeBSD and basically live like a hermit. It's up to you but after a number of years of denying myself nice things through abject fear of my privacy being stolen had worn me down and a brush with death made me realise. Life is way too f**king short. But you do you...
@@leerobinson8709 I totally get you as well. But guess what? I don't even have a bank account, and my mobile devices aren't even signed into Google.
Google probably hasn't actually known any of my locations or activities for at least 3 years.
And yes, obviously my reply is on TH-cam, but this isn't one of my mobile devices. Sure it's a phone, it just never leaves home.
@@leerobinson8709 Not sure but I think YT removed my previous attempt of a comment.
