    I have looked through the mrp code and the pshell scripts to see if edge is deleted by mistake.

    Nothing indicates edge is uninstalled in anyway.

    Looked at the registry tweaks used to prevent the desktop shortcut creation and prevent preloading tabs etc. I cannot see anything that would uninstall edge from the os.

    Its there before a reboot then it just vanishes off the system for me. No traces in apps or via a file search. Running iexplorer (Internet explorer) will open edge in some way but i still cannot find any actual edge appx files.

    For my usage i not mind it gone but its useful to get another browser installed :)

    It could be the w11 en-gb iso i use but surely others would mention that edge vanishes.

    I just downloaded the en-gb iso via links in the relative w11 thread. I not use the uup dump method.

    Im sure it happens on win 10 too , so i am at a loss.

    Im at the oet/nhs exam today so im not near my pc.

    When i get time either later today or tomorrow morning i will post my creator ini file if anyone wants to use it to test if its an option or a combination of what i select that is causing this strange edge disappearing act.

    For info i select all edge options ie to prevent preloading , telemetry foot print and desktop short cut creation.

    What is odd is that edge is fully there and functional until i reboot after mrp has completed then it just leaves the os without as much as a wave goodbye!

    Believe I have the same options ticked. I opened and could use Edge before sysprep so lets see what happens after

    Edge certainly vanishes on a w11 installation, im quite sure it same with win 10 too.

    I did a friends laptop the other week with a fresh install of win 10 education edition and had to use the iexplorer trick to use 'edge' to get online to download and install firefox.

    I see all those scripts to uninstall edge which goes through several lines of code , and yet i seem to have found a simpler method to remove edge and no idea how i did it or how it works :D :D

    I not used sysprep for ages, i totally mess that up so i gave up and use the old fashioned way to install the os.

    I must try out the vhdx way at some point.

    Weird.

    Ive not touched the iso image or wim etc, only added the $oem$ folder to the sources folder and added the ei.cfg file no other changes done.

    I used the standard consumer en-gb iso files. Not upp dump created, the ones direct from ms the link found in the respective thread here on mdl, cant link to thread post as on phone to type.

    en-gb_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_march_2024_x64_dvd_2ff6c8a4.iso

    Business one for education edition use.

    I never use UUP ISO's either. Mine are slightly modified; installed in VM over network, updated and some basic software installed and ofcorse super basic options from MRP.Thats captured to a wim and added back to my deployment server
    But I know I've had issues with Edge dissapearing with same base..

    The thing with w11 you have to 'touch' it or it really takes over :D it has to be tamed.

    My W11 deployment worked fine, it kept Edge. I disabled internet connection for the VM if that would've mattered. And a AutoUnattend was used to skip OOBE except username/password.
    Also Settings, File Explorer and get started is still pinned, but probably cant be removed?

    Now for the untouched with latest MRP and some more settings

    File explorer i think isnt removed from start menu sane with settings when using the slim start menu option by default to prevent it filling up with icons ss a minimum of 2 icons required to keep it clean. That what ms blurb says.

    Get started i think gets installed after mrp is completed typical ms sneaking things on.

    Untouched W11 US does something during the script window. At the beginning I could search for Edge but after window closed I cant search for it, still installed tho
    Edit: Did a new install. The shortcut in startmenu dissapears afte the script addon module and explorer is restarted but still installed. Cant really replicate Edge being deleted....

    Clipchamp, Quick assist, Sticky Notes and Cortana is installed, are they suppose to be left?
