Quick Hack: 20H2 Enablement without Edge

Someting like this ?

if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge" (
For /f "tokens=* delims= " %%A in ('call dir /s /b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application" ^| find /i "\Installer\setup.exe"') do (
call "%%A" -uninstall -system-level -verbose-logging -force-uninstall"
del "%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Microsoft Edge.lnk"
)
)​

 

I don't know what you mean
currently, if you skipped Edge, WU does not re-offer kb4562830
not sure if they will release separate update for Edge on 19042

you mean add it to my batch repo? alright

 

Yes.
You are correct, but it seams the amd64_microsoft-windows-e..-firsttimeinstaller stuff comes back to the WinSxS folder if you check for update after a clean install of Windows 10 20H2. Edge then installs after a reboot and I see its welcome page. It's Edge 84.
Or maybe Windows Update reinstalls KB4562830 but it's showing nothing in the update history.
Probably more testing is needed.
Thanks.

 

In elevated command prompt

Code:

cd %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\8*\Installer
setup --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level[/CODE

if not installed (SkipEdge=1), EKBUpdate KB4562830 is indeed redownloaded and installed (under the hood) with the current 20H2 cumulative update

uninstalling Edge after OS installation seems the proper solution (via setupcomplete.cmd i guess)

 

A few days ago, I discovered something new concerning upgrades and the installation of edge chromium. I had a second ( spare ) installation of Windows 10 Pro 64 on a seperate partition. This installation was rarely used and therefore was either 1909 or 2004, wherefor I did an inplace upgrade using a ( german ) 21H1 iso, which I downloaded from the german site, which I am not allowed to post here

And after the upgrade was completed, I found a full working 21H1 without Edge legacy, without Edge chromium and without any installers for Edge in the WinSxS folder. This installation works fine until now, and now I am curios what will happen on the second Tuesday of April. The only thing I did not tried yet is a "scan health" to check, if WIndows itself sees the component store as intact or as damaged, because of the missing chromium installers.

 

Edge is now handled by LCU, so, it will most likely be installed in the process.
