How to uninstall and block Microsoft Edge Chromium Browser in Windows 10

If Microsoft Edge Chromium was installed automatically, you might have trouble removing it. There are a couple of ways to force the removal, as well as prevent it from being reinstalled. If it has not been installed yet, you can block the installation as well. In this video, Mike will show you how to uninstall Edge using the command line and then how to block future installation using the registry and by downloading a 'Blocker Toolkit' package from Microsoft.

Mike, you can make a fortune teaching other YouTubers how to walk through any technical issue with their viewers. Your combination of clear verbal instructions (you don't wander off the subject) and visual cues (can be viewed easily) is a winner.

Literally deleted the new edge twice and still had to delete again. Thank You so much for your step by step guidance on how to uninstall and block from updating to the new edge!

By far the best tutorial on the subject on Youtube! Thank you so much!

First time it was installed by itself I just uninstalled, the problem was when it did the same thing but now I couldn't uninstall manually. I searched many ways to just get rid of it and found nothing good (at least here in Brazil) your video was the most complete and helped me A LOT! Thank you!

[lindawebster]

I'm SO grateful for your video so I no longer have to spend hours trying to deal with the New Microsoft Edge! Couldn't have been easier than you made it for me. May God bless you!

Mike, Thank you so much for this tutorial! Edge was screwing up my Gmail and ability to get on the internet with Zoom. The way you explained the steps was clear and easy to understand, I have not only removed Edge, but I have changed the registry for future installations from MS. I am a Senior with a smidge of programing experience. Thank you for making it simple for me to complete on my own.

[markusmichael]
