The latest development reinforces the coming change, with Microsoft taking the dramatic step of removing the browser automatically. Microsoft confirmed in August 2020 that Edge Legacy browser would no longer be supported after March 9, 2021. The removal news isn't entirely a surprise.
This should go without saying, but if you use a third-party browser like Chrome or Firefox, this change will not affect your daily routine in the slightest. Select ‘New’ then ‘DWORD (32-bit) Value’ and call. Name the key ‘EdgeUpdate’ and then right-click on it. Press Windows logo + S keys at the same time Type powershell and then click Windows PowerShell Type the following command in the pop-up window Press Enter The detailed location of Microsoft Edge will appear Now type remove-appxpackage in the Powershell window. You could theoretically keep using Edge Legacy if you just don't install the April 13 software update, but the Chromium version of Edge is the only one that will keep getting new features and, most importantly, security updates going forward.įor what it's worth, Microsoft promises the new Edge is fast and reliable. Right-click on the ‘Microsoft’ folder and select ‘New’, then ‘Key’. In case you still want to remove it, use the steps detailed below (at your own risk). Those who have Edge Legacy on their task bars or desktops will see it replaced by the new version of Edge.
If you don't manually make the switch before April 13, your PC will do that for you. Anyone still using Edge Legacy on Windows 10 is strongly advised to switch over to the new version of Edge based on Google's open-source Chromium software, which launched a year ago.
Microsoft announced on its tech blog Friday that Edge Legacy (the older version of the browser that comes pre-installed on Windows 10 PCs) will be automatically removed from those computers with a software update on April 13. Six years later, Microsoft is rather forcefully replacing that version of Edge with a newer model. Microsoft Edge replaced Internet Explorer as the default Windows web browser back in 2015.
