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 am so thankful for your brilliant simple instructions. You are an excellent teacher because you are clear ad patient. again thanks and it worked!!!!!
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.
Program that automatically installs to your computer, is very hard to uninstall, takes up memory even when closed (it does that for me) and pops up ads about it in IExplorer, windows menu etc. This is literally definition of a virus
IE11 is fast approaching it's End of Life, so it's time to find another browser. Edge is a great choice, it's fast and secure. It's based on Google Chrome browser (same underlying engine), both run several processes in the background, even when closed. With the amount of memory in todays systems, it's doubtful this has any impact on your performance.
Looks like Microsoft has taken measures to further prevent us from moving Edge. Can no longer get to cmd as administrator. And the file for Edge no longer opens up to access the rest of what you mentioned here. Do you have an updated video showing a new way to delete and prevent it from installing?
Can I use this method to uninstall Edge (regular Version) AND Internet Explorer? I do not like either one and for some reason they run in the background every time I start my computer. I hate "forced" apps on my computer. My computer belongs to ME not Microsoft or any other company.
Anyway to revert this? I've tried some reverting it but it did not work. I'm not getting error messages after the failed win update, boot device not found. I can fix that with cmd, but it keeps coming back.
Hello, I have watched and do like your video said but the MS-Edge didn't get out. . Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.2006] (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\105.0.1343.50\Installer>setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\105.0.1343.50\Installer> . After I press ENTER a small window of "User Account Control" appears and asks "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?". After I select Yes, Nothing happens. Everything is still there. . I already checked back in the RegEdit to make sure that the folder in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium has number 1 Value data box to ensure the MS Edge don't come back when Windows update. . If this is the case, what is the next step that we can do? Can you help? Thanks in Advance.
I left a comment yesterday. But the changes didnt work. I note that at 11.13 it says name doc "reg" but at 11.19 it says "rge". Dunno, but you should change that. I've redone this and done both steps. Let you know if Microsoft have changed the playing field again. So now gone tomorrow?? Stay tuned, I'll be back!!
OK as I said yesterday the CMD approach does not work, well for me it didnt. GOOD NEWS the toolkit blocker, the 2nd method does work. Thanks Mike you explained this so a dumb A*&# like me could do it.
Mike, I guess I'm the odd man out. I've tried unsuccessfully three times to uninstall it. When I get to the last step in the tutorial and hit enter, nothing changes. I'm careful to follow your instructions but obviously, something is not working. Starting to lose hope..
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
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?
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.
my pc is still locking up, it downloads updates, starts to install them and when its almost done it undoes the update. then after that I get a error message and it is a whole lengthy process to try and get into windows again.
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 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.
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 method worked for me to uninstall Edge, but for some strange reason I had to use ".\setup.exe" before typing "--uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall" in command prompt.
That's a PowerShell thing. It's called dot sourcing the file, and you have to do that to run a script in PowerShell. You don't have to use the ".\" in front of the name in the command prompt.
Thank you!!! The Microsoft should be punished for their EDGE terorism behavior... Even Im using payed onedrive, the loosers still advices idiot browser...
PLEASE do a video on the FORCED "Meet Now" feature.... I hate the fact windows does not give us options on what features to install and just force garbage and bloatware down our throats....
I installed Microsoft Edge Removal Tool Kit exactly as instructed. It showed to be successful in uninstalling. Then Windows updated, reinstalling Edge again. This method did not work.
Did you run the CMD as administrator? Did you use the /B to block future installs? Verify the key was made in the registry. I just tried it again on Windows 10 20H2 and it works as expected.
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...
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!
Somehow it does not let me the otion to prevent it from installing automatically; when I add my machine name and without it, I even changed the name of my machine but it worthless it`ll still say Error: access denied. What should I do? I am doing it through the toolkit method not to mes up the Registry. Thanks.
Thank you so much. I hate it when Microsoft just installs it's random bloatware on my PC.... Feels like it's not a Personal Computer anymore at times. No Spying on me! [Sarcasm]
I tried this, have checked & double-checked the path, copyied & pasted it, but every time I hit enter I get an error message that (x86) is not recognized! How can it not be recognized when it is right there?
I've previously deleted and blocked Edge Chromuium using the methods in the video. However, with today's Windows update (KB5001330), Edge Chromium has been reinstalled. I deleted it again like in the video, but I can't use Edge Legacy :(
In the end where i did the cmd i got this: LOCAL! Blocking deployment of Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) on the local machine ERROR: Access is denied. its denied :/ what did i do wrong?
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.
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.

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.
If you remove the registry key you added, It should install automatically on the next update. You can also install it manually, try this link: www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge
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 !!
Hi! I followed carefully all the steps but, after that, I still having the same result (copied and pasted as it appears from the screen): Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.746] (c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Program File (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\44.19041.423.0\Installer The system cannot find the path specified. C:\WINDOWS\system32> I took a screen shot but can't put it in here. Do you see any mistake? Can anybody help?
@Luke Barnes Just tried it again on a fresh install of Windows 10 20H2 Enterprise. Works just as I showed in the video. Let me know what is not working for you and maybe I can help.
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 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!
You will need to go into Windows explorer as I demonstrated to find the correct path on your system. The version number won't be the same, this video was filmed 6 months ago.
Robert, Mike did not say to add a space between "cd" and the path you copied (although he did so when typing). The first time I tried this, I entered my copied path right after "cd" and got a message about incorrect syntax as well. I noticed that he added a space after "cd" and when I did the same, it worked.
Great question, and a valid concern. Updates are important. This will not affect the normal update process at all, other than preventing the update to Edge Chromium.
I used your method to block Microsoft edge updates. It worked for a while but now the whole Microsoft edge has stopped working altogether. I want to reverse the initial change that l did. Please assist.
Sorry to hear that! Try this... " . . . to allow Edge Chromium to install, you need to remove the registry key that you added. You can delete the key manually using your registry editor, or you can modify the reg file I used in the video. Simply add a hyphen to the beginning of the registry path. It should look like this: [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate] Notice the dash in front of the HKEY. Then delete the last line "DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium"=dword:00000001 Then save the file and run like you did before. This will remove the block, and the next time Windows Updates, you should get Edge Chromium (might take one or two update cycles) Hope this helps! "
@@mikerodrick5354 Hi I did this to remove the key, but my win 10 still wont update, well it updates and then when its done it says this "we couldn't complete the updates, Undoing changes, Don't turn off your computer"
You ran the setup.exe with the *--force-uninstall* parameter? This will remove Edge Chromium. You will also need to follow one of the methods to block the installation, or Windows Update will reinstall Edge Chromium.
Make sure there is a space between CD and the path. It should look like this "CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\83.0.478.64\Installer" without the quotes. Also note as I mentioned in the video, your version number is probably different. When I filmed this video, the version number was 83.0.478.64. The version number currently is 88.0.705.56. I don't know what version you have, you will have to use Windows Explorer as I demonstrated, to determine which version you have installed, and adjust the path (replace 83,0,478.64 with your version, or better yet, just copy the path as I showed in the video. Hope this helps.
Mike, I've got a new issue. Windows is having a new May 2021 update and because I followed the instructions to block Edge - it is reversing ALL the other updates even unconnected to the Internet Browser ? I've dome the CMD to allow Edge to be installed yet when I have gone to the Edge Webpage. It is still blocked. Do I go Factory Settings or another method to allow Edge once more.
I can confirm that this does not work anymore.
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 am so thankful for your brilliant simple instructions. You are an excellent teacher because you are clear ad patient. again thanks and it worked!!!!!

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 ...

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?
Good catches, I will make the updates, thanks!
Very helpful video, thank you Sir

what is that little terminal thing in his taskbar?
This 2021, and edge has no option to uninstall, the have taken that away. Bfqasically its a light coloured button and won't work?
If you uninstall Edge, you should be able to delete the icon as well.

I've previously deleted and blocked Edge Chromuium using the methods in the video. However, with today's Windows update (KB5001330), Edge Chromium has been reinstalled. I deleted it again like in the video, but I can't use Edge Legacy :(
What version of Windows are you running?
turns out you can also just use cc cleaner to uninstall edge too
No edge folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft. There is only an empty temp file.
What version of Windows are you running?
you mate- are a god thanks
You're welcome!
In the end where i did the cmd i got this:
LOCAL!
Blocking deployment of Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) on the local machine
ERROR: Access is denied.
its denied :/ what did i do wrong?
Did you run the CMD as administrator?
For some reason none of the remedy worked, but please make video on windows executable services and how to stop them. Your video is amazing.
Thanks!!
I urge anyone not to block future updates. I did that and now the whole Microsoft edge, even the legacy, is not working.
I need to test it again to see what they changed.
i didnt work for me on where i saved block2, then saved, i would press fileand save but nothing comes up to press all text
Try choosing "Save as..." and see if you can change the Save as type: to "All Files (*.*)"
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.

Is it safe to change the registry as you have shown. I Mean no risk is involved if we do exactly as you have shown. Please reply
Yes. Modifying the registry is safe as long as you are careful. This change will only block the automatic update to Edge Chromium.
This works, but be aware that after you do this you will no longer be able to update windows.

If you remove the registry key you added, It should install automatically on the next update. You can also install it manually, try this link: www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

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 !!
I have no there the opportunity to uninstall even on the update edge. no uninstal :O( only the ability to edit.
Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Which method are you using?
Thank you excelent
I never get the option to select run as administrator. My cmd goes straight to cmd screen
Right-click on the shortcut and choose "Run as administrator" If you don't see that choice, try holding "Shift" while right-clicking on the shortcut.
It says the system cannot find the path specified and i follow all your steps
What version of Windows are you running?
Absolutely the single best help tutorial ever re this annoying MS edge crap!
Thank you! Sincerely!!!
Thank you Sir!
Mr. Mike, you must be a teacher perfect explanation for this subject clear and precise. Thank you kindly for your help
Hi! I followed carefully all the steps but, after that, I still having the same result (copied and pasted as it appears from the screen): Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.746]
(c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Program File (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\44.19041.423.0\Installer
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>
I took a screen shot but can't put it in here. Do you see any mistake? Can anybody help?
Program Files (x86) is plural, you are missing an "s"
@Luke Barnes Just tried it again on a fresh install of Windows 10 20H2 Enterprise. Works just as I showed in the video. Let me know what is not working for you and maybe I can help.
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.
Glad it worked for you!! As for all the other reboots...fingers crossed!
how can i redownload it? there is a windows update that cant complete without it and it happens everytime i shut down,its annoying
Same with me. And now I'm getting blue screens.

Sorry I am not expert but how did I get the icon blockEdge?
No problem! That icon is the file you create with notepad and then change the extension to .reg
Nothing - it says name or something is wrong...? I typed exactly as You said :( - it says - system can not find specified path...wtf.
You will need to go into Windows explorer as I demonstrated to find the correct path on your system. The version number won't be the same, this video was filmed 6 months ago.
Robert, Mike did not say to add a space between "cd" and the path you copied (although he did so when typing). The first time I tried this, I entered my copied path right after "cd" and got a message about incorrect syntax as well. I noticed that he added a space after "cd" and when I did the same, it worked.
Will this mess up my updates on my computer, or computer in general? Sorry I'm very paranoid haha.
Great question, and a valid concern. Updates are important. This will not affect the normal update process at all, other than preventing the update to Edge Chromium.
I used your method to block Microsoft edge updates. It worked for a while but now the whole Microsoft edge has stopped working altogether. I want to reverse the initial change that l did. Please assist.
Sorry to hear that! Try this...
" . . . to allow Edge Chromium to install, you need to remove the registry key that you added. You can delete the key manually using your registry editor, or you can modify the reg file I used in the video. Simply add a hyphen to the beginning of the registry path. It should look like this:
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate]
Notice the dash in front of the HKEY.
Then delete the last line "DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium"=dword:00000001
Then save the file and run like you did before. This will remove the block, and the next time Windows Updates, you should get Edge Chromium (might take one or two update cycles)
Hope this helps! "
@@mikerodrick5354 Hi I did this to remove the key, but my win 10 still wont update, well it updates and then when its done it says this "we couldn't complete the updates, Undoing changes, Don't turn off your computer"
It still is in your Registration and you can not Delete it all !
You ran the setup.exe with the *--force-uninstall* parameter? This will remove Edge Chromium. You will also need to follow one of the methods to block the installation, or Windows Update will reinstall Edge Chromium.
Can you make a video about how to update Bio in the right way
i have a
Z170-A Motherboard
plz and thank you!
I will try. That's the motherboard I have in my home PC!
@@mikerodrick5354 I got a B640-F gaming motherboard, can you show me how i should install it for the best gaming experience.
It it was install manually can it be deleted again
Yep, should be able to delete it the same way.
Thank u so much!
You're welcome!
it keeps saying it cant find the specified path?
Make sure there is a space between CD and the path. It should look like this "CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\83.0.478.64\Installer" without the quotes. Also note as I mentioned in the video, your version number is probably different. When I filmed this video, the version number was 83.0.478.64. The version number currently is 88.0.705.56. I don't know what version you have, you will have to use Windows Explorer as I demonstrated, to determine which version you have installed, and adjust the path (replace 83,0,478.64 with your version, or better yet, just copy the path as I showed in the video. Hope this helps.
Mike, I've got a new issue.
Windows is having a new May 2021 update and because I followed the instructions to block Edge - it is reversing ALL the other updates even unconnected to the Internet Browser ?
I've dome the CMD to allow Edge to be installed yet when I have gone to the Edge Webpage. It is still blocked.
Do I go Factory Settings or another method to allow Edge once more.
I haven't encountered this yet. Did you remove the registry key to prevent Edge from reinstalling?
did you find how to fix it? I cannot update my windows anymore/, it just undo all the updates.
did you ever get a fix? i've got the same problem
