Okay so this exstention installed itself on my Edge and I have no idea how to get rid of it, I tried the deleting policies method. As well as reseting browser to default. While that does technically work an hour later the programs back on it.
it's called Simple New Tab by Appsify.

I don't think that works in this case (It didn't work for me) as the extension wasn't installed by me but instead it said that it was installed by my organisation (I am in no organisation) because of which I couldn't remove it.
Before I start: If you don't understand something I am sorry as English isn't my native language and also if you destroy your pc on accident by using my method I am not to blame as it worked for me but doesn't have to work for you:
I had the exact same issue and I tried a variety of different things. I don't know which one of these steps did it but since Friday (3.5) the extension is gone and hasn't reappeared since then. Here is what I did (if I remember correctly):
I have to add that somewhere in the process or before I did all this I also reinstalled Edge once (which didn't do anything except for wrecking my nerves) and I also signed out and in again with my (Microsoft)account in Edge but I am pretty sure this also didn't do anything.
If all of this doesn't work for you, you could try to reset your entire computer but that is very time consuming and you HAVE to make sure that you SAVE ALL OF YOUR IMPORTANT FILES SOMEWHERE ELSE (not on the same pc) as they would get lost.
If the extension will ever reappear on my device I will (hopefully) think of updating this post.
(Actually just after writing this I realized that you are apparently using Windows 11 and I am using Windows 10 so it might not work but you can still give it a try.
I just found this extension on my computer myself today (I am using Windows 11) and the above method mentioned in part 3 worked well. I went through the Program Files and Program Files (x86) and found the Microsoft folder and went through each of the following "Edge" named files and checked every folder, some of them have folders labelled extensions as mentioned above and I went through and deleted every single one of those folders. There were maybe 5-6 in total but I am not sure. I just made sure I checked every folder possible in both the Microsoft folders in both Program folders. I am hoping this removes the simple file permanently.
Thank you for your instructions Lukas_Sch.
ive tried everything else got the managed by organization part gone just for it to come back also remove something called NV optimizer
its part of it
That's why it's the very last thing you should try if the other stuff I wrote doesn't work and you don't find any other fix.
