Microsoft edge.

Question

I don't like or want to use Microsoft Edge I like using google chrome becuase I can have it connected to all of my devices but whenever I use a search engine  I pops up with a box telling me to get the new Microsoft edge. I click maybe later but it pops up every time i want to search something. How do I get it to stop that. I understand that I can't uninstall it i just don't want it to stop running over other programs.

I don't recommend that anyone uninstall Edge for one good reason. Any method used to remove Edge makes changes to Windows 10 System and you never know when Microsoft might release an update that requires what was changed and your computer ends up a brick. If you still feel that you must remove Edge, I would suggest you try Revo uninstaller. You can download it here; https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/. Then you can download and install the tool to block any unwanted future updates. You can also check this out: 

Open Regedit and back up key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState{56EB18F8-B008-4CBD-B6D2-8C97FE7E9062}

Then delete it. ONLY after backing up. This is the key that informs Windows the new awful browser update is engaged. You will need to restore it later.

Reboot.

Now, add the following key in RegEdit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate]

"Allowsxs"=dword:00000001

This tells Windows to allow legacy edge as well as an awful edge.

Reboot.

So now you have the legacy edge link as well as the new one on your Start Screen all apps.

The last thing, now you should restore the backed-up key that I told you to keep at the beginning. MS recommends you don't remove this key, so best to restore it.

Everything is now fine again.

I hope this helps, and if you need any further assistance, please post, and we will be glad to assist you.

I'm not trying to uninstall it. I just want it to quit with the pop ups. it's installed I just never plan on using it. whenever I use a different program like Google chrome it pop up's with these stupid boxes whenever I search for something that tells me to install it. I want that box to go away. It is REALLY annoying.
