I see two Microsoft Edge options when I try to change my default browser. What is the problem?

To ensure I ran "get-appxpackage *edge*" command in PowerShell and the result was this:

I think in a normal system we should see just to package but there is 3 now!!!

I am on Windows 10 Pro for Workstations 20H2

What is the problem? and how can I get rid of useless Edge?

    I am on the latest update and I do not like to see that unknown blue icon. I tried reinstalling edge but did not work.

    How can I fix that?

    Do this command in a Admin Powershell: Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_44.19041.1023.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe :) If that doesn't work reply "It didn't work." If it did work reply "It worked."

    Thanks. The older Edge is deprecated. It would be wise to discard this as trying to fix that may end up with more issues. Set Edge as default and forget it.

    Hi,

    I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor here to assist you.

    This is Legacy Edge. Likely showing you due to a glitch. The first one is what you need to select.

    Btw, did you install this month's updates which should have removed it?
