When I made a fresh install of windows 11 a few months ago I used this tool. The readme says it works on windows 10 but I’ve never tried it myself on 10. https://github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools
When I got rid of edge on windows 10 a few years ago I think I booted into a live linux USB stick and deleted or renamed the edge directory. Maybe that doesn’t quite fit the definition of uninstall but the end result was edge couldn’t run afterward which is what I wanted.
well last time i tried doing that all pdf files got borked with no way to fix the issue, on windows 11.
there used to be a semi official way to do it in win10 from 2021-2024, they broke it in January and reinstalled edge tho
i uninstalled edge. that solved most of my edge related problems.
Dude, please explain how, because I cannot on Windows 10 as far as I’m aware.

I don’t remember if disabling edge updates is part of the debloat tools or if I did this myself, but the tasks starting with MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTask in Task Scheduler are disabled now on my system. Method 3 of this guide shows how to find those tasks. https://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-or-remove-microsoftedgeupdate-exe-process-running-in-task-manager/
