Prevent MS Edge installation

Open isra00 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

It would be really cool to implement a new feature: blocking Microsoft Edge installation, which is re-installed on some Windows updates even after having uninstalled it. Blocking that is as simple as adding a key and a DWORD to the registry, as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-blocker-toolkit

Thank you for the time to consider the idea!

Sure thing, this can be added.

For some (probably silly) reason, MS has removed the page referred above. Here is the archived version: https://web.archive.org/web/20210118230052/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-blocker-toolkit

I hope the method still applies to the latest Windows versions. Thanks again!

Any progress on this feature? Would love to zap MS Edge from my installs.

This article has instruction for the regkey that needs to be added to prevent MS Edge from reinstalling
