The Edge 64-bit browser installation path is still in the Program Files (x86) directory
DustinWin Thank u for bringing attention to this, i was doing several clean installs made me think i still had a virus wich was the only reason for the clean install, since admittedly i just assumed the worst spent probably hours troubleshooting only to find out for inexplicable reasons unexplained just shows up there by default lol, i mean microsoft i know u have put the effort into making the first microsoft browser that isnt a running joke i might add have recently turned to using it as one of my main browsers and now, highly recommend it to some, but u continue to miss things like this its like u cant help but continue the running joke please fix this as im sure its comically simple to do given your army of programmers

The decision to retain the installation path of the 64-bit Microsoft Edge browser within the Program Files (x86) directory is intentional and not a bug.
While this may appear unconventional, it reflects a deliberate strategy aligned with Microsoft's broader ecosystem and support infrastructure.
