How to remove Microsoft Edge in Windows 10

The new Microsoft Edge browser is undoubtedly good and convenient for working with web pages. But not all users like innovations or are simply accustomed to their tried and tested reviewers. And then the problem arises - how to disable Microsoft Edge or delete.

Remove Microsoft Edge through folder

To disable any utility, the user first uses the Add or Remove Programs feature. However, this browser will not be found there, as its developers did not provide for such a possibility. The most logical option in this case is to delete the folder with the browser, which can be done using the file system.

  1. In the Explorer, go to the directory: System Disk: \\ Windows \ SystemApps;
  2. Here we find the Microsoft.MicrsoftEdge_ folder with numbers. Click the right button, select "Properties";
  3. Uncheck "Read Only";
  4. Then go inside the directory itself and change the MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe and MicrosoftEdge.exe files to some other names. If you don’t need a browser at all, you can remove them.

Disable Microsoft Edge with PowerShell

In Windows 10, there is a default installed PowerShell program, designed to perform actions on the OS files. With its help, you can disable the browser as follows:

  1. Type in the search for PowerShell, right-click on the utility icon and select "Run as administrator";
  2. Then you need to write a command to display information about system applications Get-AppxPackage;
  3. As a result, there will be a large list of programs, find a specific one, in the “Name” line which MicrosoftEdge.exe is specified. In the column "PackageFullName" is written the version of the browser that you need to copy;
  4. To disable the browser, run the command in PowerShell: Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage.

After you perform the above items, the browser in Windows 10 will be disabled by default.

Using third-party applications

Some enthusiastic programmers, not very happy with the new browsers, have developed a special application to block it - Edge Bloker v1.0. The program is freely available, and it can be downloaded from the developers site. After installing the application, launch it and select the “Block” button, after which the browser will be blocked. If it is necessary to restore his work in the future, then there is the possibility of unlocking.

It is worth mentioning that Microsoft Edge is an element of system software for Windows 10, and its removal or the decision to disable it may entail negative consequences in the operation of the OS functions.

To do this, you need to initially delete the folder with the browser files, as described above, or completely clear its contents. Then you need to re-register the program in your account. To do this, run the PowerShell program again and enter the following command: System drive letter: \ Users \ (your user login). Press Enter. Then use the command: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \ AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}.
