In 20H2 offical M$ Images, Chromium Edge is installed by default. NTLite: It is paid feature. MSMG & WinToolkit & Dism++: Seems no such feature. Manually Delete from Mount\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\: It creates dead link on desktop & start menu
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/quick-hack-20h2-enablement-without-edge.82154/#post-1611420 in the new 20H2 EP kb4562830, they added NoRemove registry value to prevent uninstallation so run this before the script Code: reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge" /v NoRemove /f 2>nul reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge" /v NoRemove /f 2>nul

19042 ISOs and ESDs are way too bloated, so most definitely or We should resist the Microsoft plus Google difecta for as long as we can. Spoiler: And we should not stop there. Old Edge should go away as well: Code: $AveYo='Paste in a PowerShell (Admin) window to uninstall Edge' $edges= (get-appxpackage -allusers *MicrosoftEdge*).PackageFullName $ursid= ([wmi]"win32_userAccount.Domain='$env:userdomain',Name='$env:username'").SID foreach ($e in $edges) { $null = new-item -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\EndOfLife -Name "$ursid\$e" –Force remove-appxpackage -allusers $e } del ([Environment]::GetFolderPath('Desktop')+'\Microsoft Edge.lnk') -Force -ea 0 del ([Environment]::GetFolderPath('ApplicationData')+'\..\Local\IconCache.db') -Force -ea 0 rp HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband Favorites* -Force -ea 0 $AveYo='And to open start menu search in default browser' reg delete HKCR\microsoft-edge /f reg add HKCR\microsoft-edge /f /ve /d "microsoft-edge:" reg add HKCR\microsoft-edge /f /v "URL Protocol" reg add HKCR\microsoft-edge\DefaultIcon /f /ve /d "url.dll,5" reg add HKCR\microsoft-edge\shell\open\command /f /ve /d "powershell.exe -nop -win 1 -c [diagnostics.process]::start([uri]::unescapedatastring('%1'.split('=',3)[-1]))" taskkill /im sihost.exe /f $AveYo='Press_Enter_to_uninstall_Edge' This will also fix start menu web search results to open in default browser (ie if no other installed, or firefox, chrome etc)
Hi. after removing edge chromium in the mounted image, the edge legacy is registered in the list of programs for removal. how can this be prevented. If remove the package edge legacy, then windows updates will not be installed.
Note: IE Browser is End of life and been retired.. IE 11 Browser will stop working. SO you have to use Google Chrome browser, or FireFox Browser, or MS Edge Browser.. ! ATGPUD2003
Microsoft had said mostly on Windows 10 (Lastest Edition including LTSC ), Windows Server 2012 thru Windows Server 2016 (All Editions..) SO, Windows Server 2022 is use Microsoft Edge here for now on.. I personally you lad and gent can use your favor browser such Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and others.. ATGPUD2013
