If Microsoft Edge is installed via Windows Updates, then it is not possible to uninstall the browser using the Apps interface of the Settings application or the dedicated Software Control Panel application. Many users are probably indifferent to Edge as they use other browsers.

The new Edge is undoubtedly an improvement when compared to the classic version, and there are probably only a few users out there who prefer the classic version. While there are ways to prevent the installation of these updates, it is likely that the new Edge will be pushed via Windows Updates to the majority of Windows systems and yes, that includes unsupported Windows 7 installations. Windows updates such as KB4541301, KB4541302 and KB4559309 replace the classic version of Microsoft Edge with the new version. Interested administrators could install the Chromium-based Edge manually on supported systems prior to Microsoft starting the migration via Windows Update. The browser would be pushed to systems only if Microsoft did not detect its installation already on the system.

The company made the decision to roll out the web browser over time to monitor the distribution.

Microsoft started to push the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser via Windows Update to Windows devices.
