I get "You'll need a new app to open this microsoft-edge" when I try to download edge from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

Is Edge not yet supported for Server 2019? If so, how do I obtain it? I've seen edge updates in WSUS, but none of the servers have switched over from IE.

I tried looking up when IE11 would be end of life, but haven't found the date for server 2019 so far.

    HI @Jorgenvonstein ,

    Microsoft Edge is supported on Windows Server 2019 (LTSC) (see here for more info), the download link you mentioned should work, did you select for Windows Server 2019? You may also try downloading it from here:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download

    (If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)

    Best regards,
    Leon

    LeonLaude: Thanks for the link, I was able to download the latest version edge that way. I will try to install it on the Server 2019 VM.

    DSPatrick:
    I was hoping for a date, but your first link tells me that IE11 is supported on Server 2019 for now.
    I saw that 2nd lifecycle page, I was looking for something more specific.

    Microsoft does not show a real plan for retiring IE for Windows! And this "Windows" does not include the Window servers! What happen to those using Window server 2016? other versions? You can NOT install the Edge. The Visual Studio application on the Window server 2016 want you to install the Edge to read any information!. Microsoft product support is out of order now. The leadership is falling the crack.
