Literally deleted the new edge twice and still had to delete again. Thank You so much for your step by step guidance on how to uninstall and block from updating to the new edge!
Mike, you can make a fortune teaching other TH-camrs how to walk through any technical issue with their viewers. Your combination of clear verbal instructions (you don't wander off the subject) and visual cues (can be viewed easily) is a winner.
@@mikerodrick5354 It would help if you turned on file extensions, the "MicrosoftEdgeChromiumBlockerToolkit" is a ".exe" and the download link you provided, You-Tube shows a warning page. Kind of alarmed me at first and I can't confirm in your video it is the same file you used. As any .exe from an untrusted source always makes me do a double take.
I am so thankful for your brilliant simple instructions. You are an excellent teacher because you are clear ad patient. again thanks and it worked!!!!!
First time it was installed by itself I just uninstalled,the problem was when it did the same thing but now I couldn't uninstall manually. I searched many ways to just get rid of it and found nothing good (at least here in Brazil) your video was the most complete and helped me A LOT! Thank you!
I am by no means computer literate but I was determined to get rid of Edge once and for all. Thanks Mike for your excellent instructions. I have been successful, using the Registry method. Hoorah!!
I watched another video where a guy tried renaming the edge file, thankfully i'm slightly more computer literate than most and understood there's no way that method will work. Mike mentioned cmd and my ears tuned in ; } Thanks Mike !!
Thanks for a great tutorial. I was surprised how easy your instructions were to follow and even more surprised when it worked. After viewing many videos that didn't work on this topic, it was a relief to find one that was just right.
Great, thank you after trying so many confusing videos I found yours, subscribed as you are so so clear. Now I open my PC and no long waits, I go to word and no more eternal waiting, I am a translator all I need is speed and simplicity, Thank you so so much :)
Thank you so much for this video. Got the new Edge uninstalled, got the registry file in place, hopefully all will be well and Microsoft will stop rebooting my computer without warning or permission.
You're a star. I was pulling my hair out trying to retrieve the warning dialog box for "do you want to close all tabs" This is the main reason I uninstalled and stopped using Google Chrome, they don't seem to think a simple warning would be so important. I wish Microsoft would stop forcing changes on us that we can't do anything about. Thanks again.
You speak clearly, you show clearly your screen, you are giving us simple instructions. You're the best! Thank you so much. First time I use your channel. Subscribing now and looking forward to more help from you!
You're very welcome! I will relay your feedback to Mike. He's one of the best instructors we have here at ITProTV. If you have any suggestions for videos you'd like him to cover, feel free to let us know!
Can't wait to try this! My laptop has been INCREDIBLY SLOW for about a month. No problem with storage. Turn out that the update that installed Edge has apparently caused a lot of peoples computers to slow down a lot, myself included
I'm SO grateful for your video so I no longer have to spend hours trying to deal with the New Microsoft Edge! Couldn't have been easier than you made it for me. May God bless you!
Mike, that was a brilliant tutorial. If, I had Information Technology Teachers with your delivery at High School - I'd likely be employed within the I.T Sector. Many thanks for this ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ TH-cam video.
Mike, Thank you so much for this tutorial! Edge was screwing up my Gmail and ability to get on the internet with Zoom. The way you explained the steps was clear and easy to understand, I have not only removed Edge, but I have changed the registry for future installations from MS. I am a Senior with a smidge of programing experience. Thank you for making it simple for me to complete on my own.
Wow! So easy!! Thank you!!!! *****Quick IMPORTANT note: The only thing I had to do differently was in the beginning when I was entering the location of the folder in the command prompt. AFTER "CD" I had to enter a SPACE and then paste the file location. Without the space it will not work!!! ****** Thank you so much and I seriously hope Microsoft gets sued. What they're doing is not cool!
Thanks for the video! Clear, simple, easy to follow instruction. Another video had how to delete Edge Chromium but didn't mention blocking future installs. Thank you for the assistance!
Mike I don´t speak english very well, but I clearly understand your instructions, congratulations you are a very good teacher. what I did following your explanations was succesfull. Thank you very much....
Thank you so much mike for such an easy to follow process used to remove the edge browser. I found your teaching style easy to follow with minimal technical speak. Will be sure to check out other posts you have on you tube Regards, Chris.
MAN HOW DO I THANK YOU FOR THIS? I hate Chromium. It constantly interferes with the browser I use. I uninstalled it and MS kept telling me to reinstall it. It freaking reinstalled itself on last update. Went to uninstall again and it was grey boxed. Thanks to this video? Buh bye Chromium. THANK YOU!!!
Very nice video with detail explanation of what we're keying in. Last time I removed it like 2x before and it kept coming back. SO THANK YOU for preventing it from coming back!!
@@ACILearning Yes, hopefully not. I really like the old read aloud they had where I can select different sections of my pdf book. The newer versions are just not the same! I actually removed it 3x. Crossing my fingers that 3 times the charm
@@mikerodrick5354 HA! 1 month later here I am again. Sadly.. It came back. The horror!!!! On Halloween it returned to haunt me! Edit: So changing the registry file thing didn't work for me. Now trying your second method with the blocker toolkit. (-____-) Thanks again Mike
Thanks man i deleted it with your help. Only did the first part. If it comes back I'll do it again and do the second part too. Downloaded the video incase it get banned.
Someone else may have said this, but I always create a restore point before any registry modifications just in case something goes wrong. If necessary, I can restore to my previous configuration. Just press START, then type "create restore point" to do this simple action).
Great point, always important to make a backup, just in case. You can also export the registry before making the change. I'll make sure to mention backing up the registry in the next video!
Thank you so much. I had a hard time reverting back to the original internet explorer because my stock trading system goes hare wire. I follow 2 others but the instructions was not in detail esp the last part. This tutorial spell out perfectly the space, the dash dash, etc. Thanks a million again.
Excellent Video. The issue with Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft Edge Viewer, is after the POST (Power On Self Test), Microsoft Edge goes into Pre-Boot, and executes a code to "Run In Elevated State" (Otherwise known as "Run As Administrator). This gives Microsoft FULL CONTROL over your PC and the Edge Viewer allows them to see everything you are doing on your computer, and they can turn on the camera (without the light coming on, and activate the microphone to hear and see everything you do). Uninstall EDGE and EDGE VIEWER ASAP. There are many 'claims' that removing edge will "break windows 10 & 11" causing your system to not function. I removed it off my desktop and both laptops, and Windows works just fine.
Top stuff, clear concise instructions that work, After windows 7, win 10 is a privacy nightmare, a genuine backward step. I bought a new Dell and you seriously do not own your machine any more, we have become harvesters for the tech giants. Thanks Mike sending you a virtual cold beer :-)
Agreed. It's a shame that we have to go through steps like this to remove installations that we didn't ask for! Glad this worked for you. Hopefully it's gone for good.
You're welcome! Glad that part helped. This is actually our first video on removing/blocking Chromium. You might be thinking of the "How to install RSAT on Windows 10" video we posted over the weekend. We are trying to build up our 'Windows 10 How To" playlist at the moment.
Your average user has ears and fingers. Add to this a win10 PC and a keyboard and mouse and you're left with no excuses other than stupidity or impatience. Mike has just delivered the most easy to understand and follow instructions. I'm no geek but I managed easily, as have the vast majority of commenters. He doesn't even say stuff like "just copy and paste this text into Notepad" - He talks you through every click.
linux user here, started using windows about 6 months ago, and edge has pissed me off greatly, i hate programs that dont allow me hands on control over security and privacy, so your video was a godsend for me. windows is stupid complex, Microsoft should simplify and streamline this bloated platform, look at linux as an example, everything is easy to do, and user has complete choice, windows, things are hidden, some settings are just out of your control and others your just locked out of. if lutris hadnt gone and crapped the bucket i wouldnt even be touching windows right now.
Legend Mike, so easy to follow. I subscribed too!! I emailed my friends the link. I believe that Google get all the info from "share" just protecting them (maybe).
Just in case command prompt has disabled admin access. right click start go to "run" in the run program type "pgedit.msc" then click ok. that should pull up your "Local group policy editor" once there you will need to navigate to "User Configuration/Administrative templates/System" On the right hand side look for "prevent access to the command prompt" and double click that. A pop up window will appear. select "disabled" then click apply then ok and you should have access to your command prompt now.
Wow. Thank you. This video is absolutely brilliant. Got a new Win10 client system, and am trying to get to grips with it. I think my approach will be to block the MSEdge.exe executable running from GPO editor on the server. I was trying to block 'MicrosoftEdge.exe' but that must have been the executable name for the older/legacy version. But I'll certainly be rolling out that registry modification to all clients,to prevent it from updating at all.
To summarize (3) items that need to be corrected in your video and/or your video notes: 1) In order to remove Edge as an administrator in the command prompt ... You forgot to mention the need to add a space between "cd" and the path we copied. The first time I tried this, I entered the copied path right after "cd" and got a message about incorrect syntax. I see from the remarks that others had the same problem. You might want to add this to your video notes? 2) For the Notepad file to block Edge from being automatically reinstalled ... You typed "dot reg" (.reg) and said this as you were typing it, but then you said "dash rge" (-rge) when you recapped that step. That is quite a different extension. You may want to add something in your notes about this (".reg", "All Files") in case someone misunderstands it? 3) In your video notes, you misspelled "uninstall" ... Command to uninstall Edge: INCORRECT: --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-unistall CORRECTED: --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall Could you please correct or add notes about these in your video notes since these are important details, especially for novices like me?
This is a very helpful and informative video. Thank you for helping me block this Extremely annoying browser and its never ending and intrusive updates.
nice tutorial really like how thorough u are it easy to follow will this also block edge from opening every fkin time i type something in search bar ? cuz i would like for the search result to open on chrome instead is that possible?
after getting rid of edge I now get this message every time my system restarts "we couldn't complete the updates undoing changes" So be aware you will not be able to update windows anymore if you follow this tutorial.
I have subscribed to you channel , thank you for your clarity and your information. Your Presentation is the best I have experienced . I was surprised also when you used the Phonetic Alphabet, I always use that in Hong Kong but the locals don't understand it, so I have apple or dog etc . Thank you once again.
Hey Mike, thank you so much. Been looking for this for months without success when I found your video. And actually one of the nicest tutorials to follow I've ever seen. Great voice, calm and patient explanation, easy to follow. Thank you very much my man! Hope your channel grows big!
Hey Ken - We are so glad you enjoyed the video. We will be sure to relay your kind words to Mike. He's definitely one of our star TH-camrs here at ITProTV!
This is a fun fact. If Command Prompt is open and you want to exit out of it quickly. Just type "exit" and hit enter! | Also, A word opf Advice. on my Device, I have a Folder Called "Registry Sector" It's for holding onto custom registry sequences like the one you make. I recommend you make a Folder SPECIFICALLY for these Custom Registry Edits so you know where they are and that way you know what not to let others mess with. Granted I'm the only one who uses my laptop, but if you share your device with someone, well there you go.
how do you reverse the initial changes? I followed his instructions. It worked for a while but now the whole Microsoft edge is not working at all on laptop.
Thanks for your sharing, I've tried and followed up your instruction, but Edge still work in my laptop, i don't know how to uninstall it now, would you mind help to advise, it's too tough to uninstall it from my laptop- hope to get your new one to support me
Eureka! Finally got rid of it! In case anyone else has this problem, encase path in single quotes, & enter. This gets you into installer. Then, instead of setup.exe type .\setup.exe, & then the rest of the command just as given. Problem may have to do with using powershell instead of command prompt...
Mike, you absolute legend. I'll buy you a beer if I ever run into you :-) Edge Chromium had caused a huge issue on my PC (And others I now hear) with it periodically freezing. It even effected Google Chrome by causing that to show the error "waiting for cache" which googling that said to turn off cache for SSD's, but didn't help. So I un-installed thanks to your very clear and helpful video. I even got a pop-up from Microsoft asking why I was removing it. Google Chrome also had to be un-installed as that kept freezing after Edge was removed. Running Firefox now without an issue. Thanks to your video again I have also stopped it being re-installed. I should charge Microsoft for the new ram I purchased thinking it was that :-( The new Edge seems to have an issue with AMD's CPU's and SSD's (Only common thing I can find with peoples posts) Thumbs up! and subscribed... Thanks again Mike :-)
also todays up date 11/6/20 of Microsoft can be uninstalled to a previous version ! Just remove the update and it will go back the way you had it before To a Feature , head to Settings > & Security > Recovery, and scroll down to Go Back to the Previous Version of . Click the Get Started button to start the uninstallation process.
Confirming that it still works March 2021! Anyone who knows their way around the registry editor and command prompt, look in the description box for the information.
@@ACILearning Probably already have it patched in the next quarterly update, wouldn't surprise me if they begin blocking access to the registry editor on consumer editions of Windows in the future😝

I see from the remarks that others had the same problem. You might want to add this to your video notes?
2) For the Notepad file to block Edge from being automatically reinstalled ...
You typed "dot reg" (.reg) and said this as you were typing it, but then you said "dash rge" (-rge) when you recapped that step. That is quite a different extension. You may want to add something in your notes about this (".reg", "All Files") in case someone misunderstands it?
3) In your video notes, you misspelled "uninstall" ...
Command to uninstall Edge:
INCORRECT:
--uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-unistall
CORRECTED:
--uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall
Could you please correct or add notes about these in your video notes since these are important details, especially for novices like me?

Granted I'm the only one who uses my laptop, but if you share your device with someone, well there you go.
Great tips!

You're welcome!
Very helpful video, thank you Sir
You're welcome!
Eureka! Finally got rid of it!
In case anyone else has this problem, encase path in single quotes, & enter. This gets you into installer. Then, instead of setup.exe type .\setup.exe, & then the rest of the command just as given.
Problem may have to do with using powershell instead of command prompt...
Good tip with PowerShell. You would need the ".\" to run the setup application. That's a PowerShell thing
Mike, you absolute legend. I'll buy you a beer if I ever run into you :-)
Edge Chromium had caused a huge issue on my PC (And others I now hear) with it periodically freezing. It even effected Google Chrome by causing that to show the error "waiting for cache" which googling that said to turn off cache for SSD's, but didn't help.
So I un-installed thanks to your very clear and helpful video. I even got a pop-up from Microsoft asking why I was removing it. Google Chrome also had to be un-installed as that kept freezing after Edge was removed.
Running Firefox now without an issue.
Thanks to your video again I have also stopped it being re-installed.
I should charge Microsoft for the new ram I purchased thinking it was that :-(
The new Edge seems to have an issue with AMD's CPU's and SSD's (Only common thing I can find with peoples posts)
Thumbs up! and subscribed... Thanks again Mike :-)
Cheers Glenn, glad I could help!

also todays up date 11/6/20 of Microsoft can be uninstalled to a previous version ! Just remove the update and it will go back the way you had it before
To a Feature , head to Settings > & Security > Recovery, and scroll down to Go Back to the Previous Version of . Click the Get Started button to start the uninstallation process.
Great tip!
Thank you bro ! You saved my life ! Keep up with the good work ! Thanks a lot again !

You're welcome!!
Confirming that it still works March 2021!
Anyone who knows their way around the registry editor and command prompt, look in the description box for the information.
This is future proof...Until Microsoft sees this and removes it ;)
@@ACILearning Probably already have it patched in the next quarterly update, wouldn't surprise me if they begin blocking access to the registry editor on consumer editions of Windows in the future😝
Thanks for the update!
Thank you so much sir 🙏
You're welcome!
