How to Get Rid of Microsoft Edge on Windows 11

Are you one of the few people who have discovered that Microsoft Edge just isn’t as good as other browsers like Internet Explorer or Google Chrome? Are you fed up with it and want to get rid of it? If so, then you have come to the right place. In this article, we will show you how to uninstall Microsoft Edge from Windows 11 . Follow these steps and you’ll be done in no time!

How to open the Programs and Features window

If you’re running a version of Windows 10 that doesn’t have the Programs and Features window, you can get to it by opening the Control Panel and then selecting View by: Category from the top right corner. In the Control Panel, select Uninstall a Program from under the Programs heading. This will open the Programs and Features window. If you’re running Windows 8, you can access the Programs and Features window from the Control Panel as well.

Click Change or remove programs

If you want to get rid of Microsoft Edge, you can do so by going into your Change or remove programs settings. From there, you should be able to find the program and uninstall it like you would any other program. Keep in mind, however, that this will only work if you have Windows 11. If you’re not sure what version of Windows you have, you can always check by opening the Settings app and going to System. At the bottom of the window, it’ll tell you which operating system you’re using and whether or not you have an upgrade available.

If you don’t want to go through all these steps to uninstall Microsoft Edge, just make sure it’s not set as your default browser when you install a new one.
