    Is there any way to disable this stupid new "you need to make an extra click" .......feature....... Edge now has for spell check.

    MS is really going all in on making everything take more clicks than before.

    Hello

    Is there a link to download an old version of Edge Canary (offline installation)?
    The one mentioned in the topic doesn't work anymore.

    Thanks

    You can hardly get an old Edge installer because they are usually removed, but maybe you can still get some installation packages what is without an updater, but which exactly?
    If you let us know what exactly you're looking for, may be I'm able to get it, but it's not 100% sure that everything is available.

    I don't use Edge other than to verify when a web page is not rendering correctly with Firefox + uBlock. Sometimes certain filters or rules will block content. Opening the web page with edge will usually indicate if the problem is coming from my rules etc. that I have in Firefox. I manually keep it updated and noticed a number of old C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ (LTSC 2021)
    Code:
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_100.0.1185.29_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe (current)
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_92.0.902.67_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_98.0.1108.43_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_98.0.1108.56_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_98.0.1108.62_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_99.0.1150.30_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_99.0.1150.39_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_99.0.1150.46_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_99.0.1150.55_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    
    do these need to be kept and if not, are there any automated settings that will keep thes directories from accumulating?

    These folders contain only some general data, and each folder is about 60 KB in size, and in reality you and also Windows doesn't never need them. So if you want you can delete all (let the latest stay there for any case), but in reality you won't win anything, usually some hundred kilobytes.
    It's not even worth opening this folder.
    It much wise to search for folders that contain hundreds GigaBytes of useless files in it. And there are such folders on every computer that has been in use for some time.

    On the last three stable builds on EDGE, when i download something, a second file named something i cannot read (Δεν Ξχει επιβεβαιωθεί 923449.crdownload)
    is created and not deleted when the download is finished. The filename changes only for the numbers it includes and it's 0 bytes in size)

    Personally, no problems have been detected in any of the stable versions already about one and half year.
    That's why I think, it's must be related to Your system.

    this might be happen someday

    I hope the EU fines them for doing the same thing they did with IE and forces them to make it optional.
    So fricken annoyed at edge trying to take over things

    Edge_Removal still worked in Windows 11 latest dev, but now that I've tested it in Windows 10 it failed. Probably some launch options got changed.
    Try out the updated script
    2022.06.20: refined appx / win32 removal; 2022.06.20 rev: appx uninstall unlock fix; 2022.06.21: fix visual studio not being allowed to install webview2 (the irony..)
