Just to be clear, the "it" you are referring to is EdgeChromiumEnterprise build installed on your computer via MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi, and not the EdgeChromium Insider Beta build? (I rebuilt my test computer last night with a clean install and am no longer running EdgeChromiumEnterprise, so I can't check.)
If EdgeChromiumEnterprise did, in fact, auto-update automatically, that's good news because it is one less thing to worry about.
Another interesting tidbit of information:
Yesterday morning, in preparation for the rebuild, I removed each and every favorite/bookmark from EdgeChromium Beta except the "ForumC" favorite, and waited 24 hours before reinstalling EdgeChromium Beta, which I did this morning, a few minutes ago.
The EdgeChromium Beta I installed this morning is 79.0.309.58, which is no surprise.
The interesting thing is that when I synced EdgeChromium Beta, what showed up in favorites/bookmarks were "ForumC" and all of the favorites/bookmarks from EdgeClassic ("ForumE", etc. -- see comments above for the list). So it looks like Build 79.0.309.58 now imports EdgeClassic favorites/bookmarks upon install, which suggests that Microsoft is getting the build ready for deployment. Not a surprise, exactly, but an interesting change in behavior. Build 79.0.309.56 of EdgeChromiumBeta did not import favorites/bookmarks from EdgeClassic, and Build 79.0.309.58 does.
EdgeClassic remains intact, however, so installation of EdgeChromium Beta Build 79.0.309.58 does not trigger the "hide EdgeClassic" behavior that EdgeChromiumEnterprise did when I installed it last weekend using MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi. That's not a surprise, either, since Edge Chromium Beta installs as a standalone and is not integrated into Windows 10. It looks like integration into Windows 10 will happen through the Windows Update installer when EdgeChromium Beta is released.

When you uninstalled EdgeEnterpriseStable on your computer, what happened?
In my case (and this is what triggered the rebuild), the uninstallation was not entirely successful. The uninstall appears not to have completely reversed the changes made to Win10 during the installation process. After uninstallation, EdgeClassic did not run normally. It was labeled "Legacy Edge" in the Start Menu, and opened only if I right-clicked the icon, then clicked on an "Open in New Window" menu item that appeared in a popup. Once opened, "Legacy Edge" seemed to run normally.
My experience might have been a fluke related to running EdgeClassic and EdgeEnterpriseStable in a side-by-side configuration at one point in my testing, so I'm curious about your experience with uninstalling EdgeEnterpriseStable.
- Okay I tested it, just for you 🙂
uninstall process completed normally, took few seconds. after that the new Edge's icons disappeared from start menu, taskbar and everywhere, as expected.
then I typed "Edge" in the Windows search, I could see both Edge canary and Edge classic's icons there, clicked on Edge classic and it launched normally.
