How Can I Update Microsoft Edge for Mac without Microsoft AutoUpdate
Hi, I'm running Microsoft Edge (stable) on MacOS, and recently I found Microsoft AutoUpdate costed too much resources, and caused the fan worked crazily. As a result, I uninstalled Microsoft AutoUpd...
- Hi,
there have been significant changes done to the update process of Edge on Mac, not yet available on stable channel, but soon will be. you can read about it here:

but if you wanna install the updates yourself, you can download offline installers from here:

Thank you HotCakeX for your reply.
Per my understanding, if I download the pkg and install a new version, Microsoft AutoUpdate will be installed too. Am I right? If yes, it's really annoying, right? I have to remove this application every time.

You're welcome,
well the idea is to have a proper and working updater, it's not really recommended to uninstall it, but as you can see there has been a big change in that area so if you can give it a try and see what you think ^^

You know even though sometimes MAU does help, it's disgusting that Microsoft prevents you from other update channels.
Like other browsers for Mac (FF, Chrome), it's a portable package, but for Edge, it's a installer.
Anyway, I'm still looking for a way to update Edge without MAU.
