    V-FRROME  After 27 years on various models of Thinkpad, I found Surface Laptop 3 at a local store two days ago and made the leap which I thought would never happen.  It's been a long time since I bought anything related to PC the day I found it.  That day, I used Edge for the first time, and found out about the add notes function, which would've been just perfect for my work..  I'd been pasting cropped images onto PowerPoint, which is just unbelievably analogue.  And then, as I was running updates for Windows and Office, I had no idea that this functionality is gone in the latest Chromium-based version of Edge, and now the pre-installed Edge is gone..  What a disappointment, I was really looking forward to try out the touch display which seems to work pretty well on Laptop 3.

      So you received the new Edge (version 79) automatically from Windows update?
      could you mention which Windows 10 version were you using?

      also you can uninstall it from control panel or Settings app, restart your device and you should be able to use the legacy Edge again.

      then use blocker toolkit to prevent further installation retries

        Hi, I did manually update Edge to 79.0.309.71 by downloading it, not through Windows update.  I'm on Win10.0.18362 Build 18362.  Would you be kind enough to point me to your post which describes how to have both pre-Chromium and Chromium Edge, which SafariLarry mentioned ?   (went through your posts but couldn't find it..) 

         

        I also noticed your former post on the two forums on legacy Edge and Chromium Edge.  Hope mine wasn't too out of line.  Thank you so much !

      I wish we did have time frames or dates for feature requests.

       

      The great thing is that these feature requests are getting sent in and getting attention.

       

      The engineering team is working hard to get them out as soon as they can, but have to make sure they don't effect any other features or cause crashing, and are as functional as possible.

       

      Thanks everyone for your feature request and please keep sending them in.
