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 AutoUpdate.
After that, when I open edge://settings/help, it shows check failed, and then it keeps "checking for update", for more than 48 hours already.
How can I keep Edge updated without Microsoft AutoUpdate on MacOS? Thank you.
- 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:

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 ^^
