    Is there a way to hide/remove the leftover from seems to be Legacy Edge icon on the start menu after uninstalling Edge Chromium. Clicking it does nothing.

    Hello BAU and everyone else
    The linked script is not working with my PC on LTSC 21H2.
    In Powershell (as admin) I see only a line with (corresponding): sihost beenden (English: exit sihost)? [Yes]Y [No]N .... [?]Help etc.
    If I type "Y" (or "J" in German) Powershell show up a line to download Firefox!
    The leftover Edge shortcut in the Start menu is (beside the grayed-out Edge item in Options/Apps and Features) still present :-(
    My previously created system image with Acronis will not start by reboot and the backup can't be installed (I've never had that before!)...
    Very strange!
    Works this script only in W10 Home?

    Edition does not matter. I still use it often and works fine on all kinds of W10 or W11 editions but I mostly use English. If you say it's broken in German I will try it, but it might just be that there's something else at fault.
    I have a revision planned anyway, but no ETA.

    Thanks BAU! Recovery of the backup image was partially successful now - setting the option "CSM legacy support" to "Enabled" in UEFI was successful to boot in Acronis (Linux?). Obviously was the freeze of the booting process (invoked from Acronis Backup) caused not by the script....

    But... regarding the language: Windows Powershell shows me also a info of a deactivated PSReadline because combatibility and for a re-activation I should run „Import-Modul psReadline”. I don't know much about it and if this a reason and also no idea how I run a "Modul".
    Anyway... I can wait for possible improvement of the script. Take your time - no hurry.

    Hello, is there any news regarding the script that works for german edition of Windows as well?
    Unfortunately, I have no clue whatsoever about PowerScript. :confused:
