How to Uninstall Microsoft Edge browser permanently from Windows 10/11

Despite the capability of Microsoft Edge's browser and its ongoing progress, many don't like it and notice that other browsers such as Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox are many miles ahead of it, and sometimes the users are as much that they wish to erase the browser dramatically, but how? The problem is that this is the virtual browser in the recent Windows versions, and the alternative is the difference for the old Internet Explorer, so you'll find it treated as a system application that Microsoft doesn't want you to get rid of, which means that the process of its final deletion is difficult compared to the way other programs and files are deleted, but it's not impossible, and there's more than one way to do that.

Method 1 : utilizing the Command CMD

Using the CommandPrompt, commonly known as the CMD in Windows, you may ultimately wipe Microsoft Edge's browser from your computer about how to create some basic instructions. But before you check the orders that you need to write, first you need to know the release number of the browser presently installed on your machine. To achieve so, I open the Microsoft Edge browser and then hit the list button above or press the Alt and FB keys together at the same time. Then from the list that displays press the help and feedback option "Help and feedback" and then around Microsoft Edge "About Microsoft Edge" to show you the browser number in a section about "About," identify and copy it.

Now, run the Command Prompt device on Windows in any way we've reviewed before, but the easiest way is to press the Win + S (x) keys together to open the search bar and then write "CMD" or "Windows Terminal" in case you use Windows 11, and then from the search results press the "Run as Administrator." After the CMD window appears, write the following order:

cd “Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\<Version Number>\Installer”

This sequence is designed to go to the area where the browser files are installed on your computer, but before press "Enter", make sure to update <Version Number> that we copied. After performing this order, write the following order and execute it as well:

setup --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level

This is designed to destroy the program from your computer permanently, so after the second push on the Enter button, the Microsoft Edge browser should be permanently wiped from your machine, and if you wish to use it in the future, it will have to be redownloaded from Microsoft.

Mode 2: Using PowerShell Directive

Like the prior manner, we're going to utilize the code again to uninstall Microsoft Edge's browser from our devices, and this time by directing PowerShell's orders. The difference between this approach and its predecessor is that you don't need to know the browser number. All you have to do at first is run PowerShell or Terminal with the authority of the official, either through a starting list (Start) or through the menu of options that appear after clicking on the Win + X keys together, where you press "Terminal" (Admin) and after opening the tool, write the following order and press Enter: 

get-appxpackage *Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable*

Then pick the code that will display next to PackageFullName's column and click Ctrl + C to copy it. Then  write the following order:

Remove-appxpackage <PackageFullName>

Before executing the previous order, make sure to replace the fraction of <PackageFullName> with the code that you copied from PackageFullName's Column and after pressurizing Enter will show a tape showing you to advance the debrower process, and once you have finished, you should reboot the computer to discover that the browser has been completely removed from the device.

Method 3: remove the advance versions from Microsoft Edge's browser

Before Microsoft Edge's browser is ready in the final form that we all know, Microsoft provides a series of initial versions that the passionate may try and discover the new features of the final version in the future. It's like the beta version of video games that creators release to discover technical and aesthetic mistakes and difficulties before their game is complete. Currently, there are three experimental versions of Microsoft Edge's browser: the Canary and the Dev and the normal Beta version, the first being the least reliable and most primitive, and the last being the most stable and closest to the final version. Unlike the final version of the browser and the failure of the way to remove it once and for all, these first versions can be simply erased, as can other software.

All you have to do is open the Settings at Windows either from a startup list or by pressing my Win + I (e) key together on the Keyboard, He then went to the Apps section of the left side list and then press the first "Installed Apps" page to show a list of all software and applications installed on the device. Here you may pass or use the search bar upwards to locate the early versions of Microsoft Edge's browser. Then I touch the list button (...) next to the name of the software and then on the "Uninstall" and the trial version will easily be erased.

Prevention of future automated installation of the browser

Although the previously mentioned ways cancel the installation of Microsoft Edge once and for all, this may not prevent Microsoft from restoring it in the periodic updates of the Windows version, and to guarantee that this does not occur, you need to make some modifications inside the Registre. But before you start any step, I strongly recommend that you check the regstri back-up procedure to get it back in case of probable issues, so store a backup first, which won't take minutes to complete.

After that, open the Registry Editor by clicking on the Win + R (s) keys together to open the start window and then type the order "regedit" and press Enter or you can merely write "registry editor" in the field search list in the Start List and start the tool from the results. After the Registry Editor window appears, copy the following route and work his paste in the address bar at the top of the window and then press Enter:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Microsoft

When you identify Volder Microsoft from the left side list, press on and pick from the "New" list and then press from the loose list on the "Key" option to create a new sub-volume and you call this folder "EdgeUpdate" and then press Enter to save the modifications.

In EdgeUpdate, on the right side, press the right-wing button anywhere empty, then select New and select from the list "DWORD (32-bit) " to create a new file called "DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium" and, after it is created, press on it double to show you the Edit value window and there you will replace "0" by "1" in the Value data field and press the OK button. So you've been given an order to your computer not to re-establish Microsoft Edge's browser in future updates, and in general, you've erased the future of this browser from your machine.
