Removing Microsoft Edge removes Microsoft Edge Update

[zmileski]

Describe the bug

Removing Microsoft Edge removes Microsoft Edge Update needed in my case for some apps for MicrosoftEdgeWebView2 to work. For example Zebar (Glazewm) bar Needed to reinstall MicrosoftEdgeWebView2 to work again and Microsoft Edge Update reinstalled. Not sure why it is needed.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior: Run winutil go to tweaks under advanced tweaks check box Remove Microsoft Edge then run tweaks.

Expected behavior

Remove Microsoft Edge without removing Microsoft Edge Update.

Same, got the same issue here when selecting Remove Edge tweak on WinUtil. Removing that Microsoft Edge Update causing my Edge Dev can't be updated to latest version & that Edge WebView2 Runtime causing some apps not working properly. Now I got reinstalled those Edge Update stuff (including services) from my Edge Dev installer.

This was some time ago. It got fixed but the clean way of removing MS Edge does not work anymore.

I am going to close this issue out :)
