How Uninstall Edge on Windows 11 24h2?

Question

Tried the old ways to uninstall Edge on WIndows 11 24h2. They include setup.exe --uninstall, etc.

Unsuccessful. Would someone recommend a method that does not include some 3rd party software to uninstall Edge?

Answer 1

Hi Stan,

Thanks for your post. Based on my research, you can uninstall the Edge by the following way.

1. Press Windows Key + R and type regedit
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge
3. Go to NoRemove and change the value to 0
4. Open the control panel, go to programs and features and select uninstall a program. Click the Edge and select Uninstall.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue

In Windows 11, Microsoft Edge is tightly integrated into the operating system, making it difficult to uninstall using traditional methods.Since Edge is considered a core part of the system, Microsoft has made it challenging to remove. However, you can disable or hide it effectively without third-party software, although a complete uninstallation isn't officially supported.

If you have a workstation running critical applications, like in medical field or a radio stations like myselfe, you may have to get rid of gaps and vulnerabilities as internet browsers.

One way to complete remove Edge is:

• Initiate Windows 11 into secure mode;
• Press Win. + R and type: regedit;
• Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ select 'Edge' and delete it;
• Go to Edge system folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge) and delete it two.

Since there is no offical way to achieve some very reasonable for a professional use of windows this is a way to keep any browser from an specific computer running Windows 11.
