Tired of seeing Microsoft start their edge browser every-time you reboot or your computer wakes up without your permission?
Here is how to get rid of it. Microsoft, just a hint, if you ever allow me to control when and where this browser starts I may begin using it… get a clue.
Note: your version number i.e. 89.0.774.63 will be different to just cd from top down
hint: just type command in the search field next to the startup button (bottom lower left)
Once in command window – Do this:
cd C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\89.0.774.63\Installer
Then this:
setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall
I would add – there is no guarantee Microsoft won’t try to sneak it back on to you system in a system update again without your permission – so you may have to do this again
BTW – Using Setting->App->Uninstall was greyed out for edge – so Microsoft is not making it easy – but that just makes me more determined not to use it
