    They shouldn't be automatically installed, it never happened to me.
    I have been using Edge insider since its launch, never seen any PWA app install automatically.
    I use personal and work account (Office business + E5), tested it on VMs with AAD configuration and Office 365 licenses, still no PWA was created automatically.

    It could be a side effect of that "stable" version, which is obviously not ready because Microsoft will officially release it on January 15 2020, 1.5 months from now, so things still aren't quite ready yet.

We're seeing this on a number of systems now with both Dev and Stable installs!

Is there any official response on what's going on with this? It's super confusing to users to suddenly have two copies of these Apps when full Office Desktop is installed!

Ed Sparks Strange, I opened this issue in november 2019. The issue didn't re-occur... until today - strange - and this on a "stable" release, not a "preview" version:

      garbak I will reply to myself for this information.  I uninstalled these 1.0's last evening 12/27/2020 after the screenshot.   All these 1.0's came back today 12/28/2020 after an automatic update.
