    Hello Lyndarzogg. This is Wil an independent advisor. I would love to help you with your concern about disabling Microsoft Edge. Unlike Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge doesn't have a disable option. You would need to remove it by uninstalling it. However, Microsoft Edge is one of the built-in apps that cannot be removed in the same way how we normally remove apps. In line with this, if you still want to remove the app, I suggest that you use Windows PowerShell. Before you uninstall the app, make sure no other programs are running aside from Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    1. On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and S at the same time, type powershell and click Windows PowerShell. Type in the following command: get-appxpackage *edge*
    2. You’ll be able to see the detail location of your Microsoft Edge.
    3. Type “remove-appxpackage” in the Powershell window. Hit the Space button on your keyboard. Then copy the address next to the item PackageFullName and paste it after the command you just typed in. This should remove the app.

    I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

    Thanks,

    Wilfred P.

    Hi, 

    You posted in the new Microsoft Edge forum. Are you running the Legacy Edge shipped with Windows 10 in 2015 or are you talking about the one released this January?
