Hello. I am unable to uninstall Microsoft Edge even if I live in the EEA.
I have the latest preview update installed as well (build 22631.3235).
When I installed Windows 11, I selected English (Europe) as the time & currency format.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Seems that the rollout started on March 6 but will be slow and most users in EEA will see the changes by April 2024...

Hi everyone,
What's the status of this rollout? I am in europe and still can't uninstall Edge, I was able to remove Bing and OneDrive but Edge still not an option...
Thanks in advance
https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/?f=flair_name%3A%22Open%20%7C%20Windows%20%22 Pretty much what the title says. I have confirmed by looking at the Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo that the "Name" key is set to "NL" and "Nation" to "176" (supposedly the nation id for Netherlands?) but I am unable to uninstall Microsoft Edge and it's components from "Add and remove programs". I have the latest Windows 11 updates installed. I don't really want to reset my PC as I don't want to go through the process of installing all my drivers and apps that I just finished setting up (brand new build). It is also not guaranteed that it will work as my Geo location is correct and within EEA, so that should be the reason.

Hello ,
Good to see you in Microsoft Community.
We understand your request, but we highly recommend keeping Microsoft Edge installed as it is an integral part of the system. Uninstalling it may lead to unexpected system issues. Is there a specific reason you want to uninstall it? We might be able to assist you with any concerns or issues you're facing.
If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Best Regards,
Mosken_L - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
