How do I completely uninstall microsoft edge in windows 11?
I don’t know if you’ve ever considered this approach: set another browser as your default browser and change the default program for web links. While this won’t completely uninstall Edge from Windows 11, it’s certainly an important step.
It allows you to redirect all web links to your preferred browser at once, but this change must be made through the Windows Settings menu.
First, open Windows Settings by pressing Win + I or searching for it in the Start Menu. Go to Apps → Default apps. Search for Web browser in the list of default apps, then select your preferred browser from the options. Click Set as default to confirm the choice.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup, and Windows will automatically use your chosen browser for all web links and downloads from now on.
Once the setup is complete, any time you click a link or open a web page, it will launch in your new default browser instead of Edge.
Although you cannot completely uninstall the Edge browser or remove it from your computer in Windows 11, you can use this method to further block the Edge browser on your machine.
