Microsoft Edge Legacy
The latest 20H2 update on my Windows Insider machine appears to have removed legacy edge even though the side by side mode was activated prior to the installation of Edge stable as per Microsoft's ow...
I, too, faced this issue on my 20H2 machine after Edgium stable 85 update. The only workaround I found, for now, is to delete BrowserReplacement key value at 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState\{56EB18F8-B008-4CBD-B6D2-8C97FE7E9062}' in registry. The only downside is that you have to delete this key each time Edge Chromium gets an update. Please proceed with caution with registries. I'm not responsible for any damage. If anyone has better solution I would be happy to try.
nikhilk0That's a great find! I use it every time an update is installed. However, something I want to warn everyone of is that if you have Edge Legacy open when the update is installed, it will close the browser without warning. I was recently in the middle of writing a forum post (not to mention a long one) and my browser closed instantly closed without warning. So just be extra careful about this (if you know some registry entry that can prevent this, please let us know, it could be a lifesaver!), thanks!
