(SERIOUS BUG) Bulk Crap Uninstaller FAILS to detect or show up "Edge Browser" in the searches for uninstallation thus killing the purpose behind 3rd party uninstallers (since uninstalling a program feature exists within Windows settings itself). Seen this with other system proprietary bloatware that comes out of the box with Windows.

Update : Revo Uninstaller uninstalled it.

a bit late to check now unless you're willing to re-install Edge, but does it show up if you select "Show system components" and "Show protected items"?

No. Tried all options.

This is apparently not an issue for all users of Bulk Crap Uninstaller. I have removed Microsoft Edge for the most part, but it is still on the uninstall list.

Yes, I agree with you. Earlier it was not. But recent updates of W11 and W10 has removed the options of edge being considered as app but as system app, which makes it uninstalling removed from the apps list from W settings and even by 3rd party uninstallers. Lately, it is missing.

Update - I checked again by reinstalling both and yet I could not find edge in your app for uninstalling.

What can I help you here?

I wouldn't call it a serious bug, you don't really need to remove Edge. It's just Microsoft doing what they've been doing for a long while now, making their own apps more difficult to remove. It's a cat and mouse game and since I don't actively work on BCU anymore I'm not going to take part in that game. That being said, if someone makes a PR that fixes this then by all means I'll merge it and thank you for it.

See #181
