The registry edit no longer works and hasn't worked for quite a long time now. Eventually Edge will reinstall itself, even when i forcibly disable Windows updates until the year 2099 it still comes back. It's literally like malware.
My biggest gripe with Edge is that when I "close" it i still have 10+ microsoft edge related programs running in the background and have to shut them down manually in task manager......wtf is this sh**???
I have never written a comment about a video on TH-cam before now, however, you most certainly are "the exception to the rule".

when i finished and had no more need for the installer, i searched up "wise uninstaller" and clicked uninstall, for it to simply put "the program can't uninstall it's self." which is fair.
Thank you for the video! Question? I am on a WINDOWs 10 machine and performed the removal as you suggest. After completing this, I go into my APPS and seee an EDGE UPDATER is still present even though I did the DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium add on? Suggestions What I did wrong?
THANK YOU SO MUCH... this is so much better than the long string of powershell commands that half the time don't work, then you have to search for the one that will work to make it to the next step. and thank WISE uninstaller for an awesome product PS - you might want to add installing the edge redirect/hijack tool to point anything edge "attempting" to chrome
OMG, I had a hard time due to Edge. But you make me handle it! Even though im not a good english speaker, this video is so easy to understand! I really appreciate it!! You save me
people that say "if you hate it just don't use it" are the same people that would be fine for M$ to have its data to be collected Great video man, just wanted for an easy way to get off that pest that microsoft forces in my throat, you must always have a choice to uninstall unnecessary crap forced by third parties, it's your computer, not theirs.
When it was in bad shape, I had to remove it from the computer… But now, after corrections, it’s incomparable even in madness, faster, prettier, and most importantly, there are no boring ads on TH-cam… I don’t think other search engines can boast about it, nor ad blockers.
No, it is a bloatware mess. No matter how many times you try to disable some of it, Microsoft will reset and the bloat is back. I don't have the time or energy to fight with Microsoft. It used to be good 2 years ago when they switched to Chromium. But Microsoft ruined once again a browser lol. I uninstalled this mess some days ago, finally the option to uninstall it available to me since I am in EU. No more edge nonsense runing all the time in background for making the cluttered mess the call new tab page to load somehow faster.

I followed your directions and I successfully deleted Edge. But Microsoft Edge Update appeared today, a few after I deleted the browser. How do I delete this? It doesn't show up on Wise.
see how many user hate edge. I also deleted edge multiple times but it's always come back. Hope this time work by this instruction. I facing with edge with high cpu and memory consumption.
Try going into your Windows (C:), Program Files (x86), look for the 'Microsoft' folder (where Edge hides) and delete everything in it (you may need to go into the settings somewhere and allow yourself full control - I can't remember exactly how to do this I'm afraid). Then delete the 'Microsoft' folder itself. Empty your recycle bin and restart your computer. Edge should be gone. If it isn't, there's a free online programme called 'IObit Uninstaller'. Have a search for it. That should get rid of the remaining bits of Edge for you. This has worked for me for the last year (retired plumber in England.)

Just a short add-on: After successfully uninstalling the WebView2 component, I found out that MS Teams doesn't work without it (the App-version, not the browser-version only). Maybe I overheard this in your video (I remember you warned that there may be side effects, but I desperately wanted to get rid of Edge, so I did not care too much 😂). Could be a small point worth mentioning it - if you ever plan an update of the video.
Saw a video that the new Outlook app that Microsoft implemented is depending on that Edge is installed. I don't use the app, but someone will do that and maybe find out that the mail app not working properly after uninstalling Edge.
No, it uses edge webview2. This is what you need to keep. The browser can be uninstalled. I am in EU and I uninstalled Edge (the uninstall option is available to me now) and outlook app is working fine. Microsoft doesn't have a choice. They are forced by EU to allow the safe uninstallation of Edge. At least for us in EU.
Why does microsoft keep pushing this crap for people? No one, no single person use it! Im only using it at work, as at work you not alowed to install any other browser! You forced to use it! Its unbeleavably slow, crash so many times, lot of work hours lost just because of that! Pointed that to the manager and he talked with it! Now we have Chrome installed - not the best option, but finaly no edge use no more 🤣 BTW non of those options work no more to remove edge! Yes they do remove it, but 2 - 3 days later the edge reapears again! 🤔🤦♂
Yes, but Google is smarter than Microsoft. Chrome has less bloatware and you have a clean new tab page, not the cluttered mess of edge, no "system boost" nonsense and having chrome running all the time in background, no shopping "features" inside chrome, no games built in, no gemini buttons coming from everywhere. I wouldn't use both, but Google is definately smarter than MS, they know how to keep Chrome's marketshare.
Edge is a piece of garbage browser that no one uses. Everyone despise edge because is to bloated and crappy. Their bunch of liars. They steal our data and also forcing everyone to use it against user’s will. No wonder crappy edge market share is decreasing due to their dirty tactics. Crappy edge is digging its own grave.
shut up lol, if you think that's too much trouble, better you don't see the dudes doing all the debugging stuff on their own with cmds... or even worse, better you don't look at people trying to install windows 3.1 and older when there was no always online stuff, barely any internet, dealing with only a cmd and floppy disks...
@dreaper5813 If Linux is for you sure, but a lot of programs still don't work on Linux. Windows works great for the average user if they don't go on breaking their system for no reason that is.
The Dark Side of Uninstalling Edge
th-cam.com/video/TCGqpEt27N0/w-d-xo.html
Is there anything Removal on Win 10 Home - I tried manually didn't work - I tried the Wise Program Uninstaller, that failed.
The registry edit no longer works and hasn't worked for quite a long time now. Eventually Edge will reinstall itself, even when i forcibly disable Windows updates until the year 2099 it still comes back. It's literally like malware.
windows 11 runs so much faster without Edge it's unbelievable! it has to be some spyware !
microsoft should just let you delete edge if you dont want it
It's wors then malware at least malwar is used and can give some benefit to some people unlike edge
my thoughts are that the goverment uses it to spy on us!
I use PrivWindoze to remove Edge and a bunch of other crap.
My biggest gripe with Edge is that when I "close" it i still have 10+ microsoft edge related programs running in the background and have to shut them down manually in task manager......wtf is this sh**???
I thought I was the only one, that sh** is painful

Thank you!
I watched about 3 other tutorials which didn't work. Finally i got Edge out of my PC. That junk was using almost 100gb of data
Man i've struggled to removed edge for months--this worked, thank you so much!
Glad to hear that
If this procedure gets rid of Copilot as well, that's a good news. No Copilot, no risk of Recall backdoor features around.
I will tell you honestly, it will be difficult to completely get rid of all Microsoft applications using Windows
I uninstalled edge but now I can't find my file explorer when I go to search or go to the apps. How do I fix this???
the wise app failed to uninstall edge im using windows 10 pro
Many people reported issues after uninstalling Edge (no explorer and taskbar, updates don't work). Did this ever happen to you?
I can't say, because I do all the video tutorial in a virtual machine.
And I have not deleted Microsoft Edge.

I followed your directions and I successfully deleted Edge. But Microsoft Edge Update appeared today, a few after I deleted the browser. How do I delete this? It doesn't show up on Wise.
Do you mean block updates?
I don't really recommend doing this, because with simple updates can come security updates
see how many user hate edge. I also deleted edge multiple times but it's always come back. Hope this time work by this instruction. I facing with edge with high cpu and memory consumption.
Thank you. I would like to know how to delete the Microsoft Store
Should I uninstall Microsoft Edge Webview2 Runtime? and what's gonna happen if I did?
some apps in the Microsoft store use it. If you don't use any apps from there you should be good.
When i use another browser instead of chrome, do i still put in 'DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium'? or do i switch the word 'chromium' with my browser?
No. "EdgeWithChromium" is just referring to the 'new' (post 2020) version of Edge that runs on the Chromium engine.
ie 11 dosen't work (open)after uninstalling edge ,if any solution make video on it
THANK YOU!! your PRESENTATION IS VERY CLEAR.
I am trying to get rid of Edge. I followed all your instructions and Edge is unaffected. Please link me to a source that will work for me.

cant use copilot after this? even better :)
If you watch Netflix of your browser only Edge supports 1080p, any other browser (chrome, firefox, brave etc) plays max of 720p......
