Uninstall Button for Edge Chromium is greyed out. Is it intentional?

Yes thats why i hope winget will be a success, like that we can update win32 software from it, and have a Microsoft member who check the submission like on other Microsoft store.

Too many software do like they was a good guy in shining armor to protect you from the bad guy and when you check they are worse than the one they "protect" you.

    Yeah I'm really looking forward to project reunion too.
    it has few core functionalities: .NET framework 5 (just released), WebView 2 (released 1-2 weeks ago) and WinUI 3 (soon to be released).
    can't wait to see what's next

    yes i will test that but i just hope Microsoft will find a way with "project reunions" to implement the data isolation even on win32 app with winget installator.
    Because when winget will work, i doubt UWP (even the most used) will survive to their win32 version

    UWP isolate their data, true, but Winget is the method of acquiring apps. the apps can be UWP or Win32. if you use Winget to install UWP then it will have the UWP features. if you use Winget to get Win32 apps then they are installed normally.

     

    also you can install Winget on Windows 10 stable from Github, and report any bug you find, so far that i'm working with it it's pretty stable.

     

    by the way, the apps you mentioned are all on Winget repository (i just checked with Winget search "program name" 🙂

    But little question about that, i know uwp "isolate" they data, winget will do the same ?
    Because i love the isolation uwp and actual store app provide.

    yeah thanks, i wait win-get to reach the "normal" windows (like an optional feature) to be tested by more user, but when my rare win 32 app will be on it (Gimp, VSCode, Edge, discord steam etc) i will happily forbid installation of external EXE on windows and it will be a great day for the security ^^
