Introduction

Microsoft Edge Remover is a tool designed to help Windows users remove Microsoft Edge Chromium and Edge UWP from their devices.

System Requirements

The Microsoft Edge Remover tool requires a Windows operating system to function. It is compatible with Windows 10 (all versions) and Windows 11. Before using the tool, it is important to ensure that the user's device meets the system requirements. This will ensure that the tool runs smoothly and effectively removes Microsoft Edge Chromium and Edge UWP. The tool may also require administrator permission to run, depending on the user's version of Windows. By having the correct system requirements, users can be confident that the Microsoft Edge Remover tool will work efficiently on their device.

Using the script

ATTENTION! Before using the script you must check nexr things:

If you applied EdgeBlocker (Sordum software) before to apply this script, you must disable or undo modifications before to apply this script.

Download the script from the Releases to some folder: C:\path\to\file\Remove.Edge.ps1 To run the script start a PowerShell session as administrator (right click --> "Run as administrator"). Go to the path: cd 'C:\path\to\file\ Run the script: .\Remove.Edge.ps1

If you get an error like:

Remove.Edge.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run this script on the current system. For
more information about running scripts and setting execution policy, see about_Execution_Policies at
https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

Run the command instead with bypassing of the ExecutionPolicy: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Remove.Edge.ps1

Block Reinstall

Are there plans to add a registry rewrite to the script? Edge gets added back after every major update so it would be nice to have this completely block it.

Uninstall failed with exit code: 93

[Info] Is Edge Webview Runtime also removed???

Your remover removes also the runtime??? Some apps need this to work properly.

Update the about section

The About section says_Remove Microsoft Edge Chromium , and Microsoft Edge UWP (<20H1) from Windows PC. _ Change it to 22H2 as tested and ran successfully on 22H2

edge-remover fails to remove Edge on recently updated Windows

I tested your script on Win10 Pro 21H2 and Win10 IoT Ent 2021 (21H2) LTSC. It works on a 2022-May updated Win10 Pro and it works on a 2022-Mar updated Win10 IoT. But it fails to work on a 2022-Oct updated Win10 Pro and also fails on a 2022-Nov updated Win10 IoT.

I suspect Microsoft update(s) between 2022-May and 2022-Oct have caused the removal script to stop working. Other scripts have also stopped working that used to work.

On the older snapshots of Windows if I remove Edge first, before doing any updates, and then perform Win updates the updates are successfully applied and Edge stays removed.

Microsoft still installed 2023 April

After Reboot
I checked Desktop still have the Microsoft Edge ICON

I checked the Location Dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Still show:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate and in that folder / file
1.3.173.55
Download
Install
MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe

A shame but worth a try

I going to try the old way
install_wim_tweak
Microsoft Edge Chromium Blocker Toolkit

Reinstalling the edge

What should I do if I want the edge back? It seems that when I reinstall the edge, it could not be open.

Script error

In UninstallOnedrive.bat a quote is missing at the end of line:165

FR: New way to remove edge

https://www.neowin.net/guides/here-is-a-simple-method-to-uninstall-edge-in-windows-10-and-11/

Microsoft put changes to March 2024 in regional UE

I think you heard how come possible make cleaning with bing, totally can remove edge, remove system apps in regional UE. Microsoft must comply with the regulations. So what you think about that?

It is bug your script PowerShell?

After use your script PowerShell on edge to remove, i have later some block download speed to 1 or 2 MB/s at with internet 500 mb/s. Only in browsers because example steam (games) or Rufus (iso windows)download normally. And I wonder what's going on? You or aveyo added something to scripts?

Best Regards
