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 ^^

Thank you.
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.
