    Kelly_Y, I'm using PS to check on remote users on the version. When I run PS on my PC, it's reflecting as above although the version on my PC is reflecting the correct Edge Chromium version

      zerphyr the Get-AppxPackage Cmdlet shows only Appx-Apps.

       

      Use WMI with PowerShell as follows, to get regular Installed Software-Packages:

      PS C:\Users\gunnar> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | where Name -Like "*Edge*"
