Uninstall Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is deeply integrated into Windows, making it impossible to uninstall it completely. However, you can remove it as a default browser and prevent it from reinstalling itself. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Remove Microsoft Edge as a Default Browser
Right-click on the Microsoft Edge icon in the Taskbar and select “Unpin from Taskbar”.
Right-click on the Microsoft Edge icon in the Start menu and select “Unpin from Start”.
Set a different browser as your default browser (e.g., Brave, Mozilla Firefox, Mullvad).

Method 2: Disable Background Processes
Open Microsoft Edge and go to Settings > System and Performance.
Turn off the option to run background extensions and apps when Edge is closed.

Method 3: Use the Registry Editor (Advanced)
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
Type “regedit” and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate.
Create a new DWORD value named “DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium” and set its value to 1.
Restart your computer.
