1. why do you use disk clean up all the time?
2. it seems that the problem is not solved, based on the last message in that log?
3. Windows 7 support ended

@HotCakeX Thank you for your reply to my post.

 

Below is the answer to your questions:-

 

1. Because, that is what if found in the Learn More Troubleshooting tips for installing and updating Microsoft Edge 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4533311/microsoft-edge-troubleshooting-tips-for-installing-...

 

2. Sorry, my bad, I should have wrote, Error 12 ,  Section 1. a. b. c. d. and e.  

 

3. Thank you and was noted long ago, however, there are still appox. 20 million or more world wide users of Window 7 that have been left out to dry, so to speak!!!, with no support, only offered Windows Edge, which I am very grateful for, before and after Jan 14, 2020, hence my posts.

I understand, totally respect that :)
but if you're not forced to use Windows 7 (like in an enterprise or business environment) then it's better to upgrade to Windows 10.
just like everything else, Windows 7 had an expiration date. I don't recall any other OS, (Android, Linux, Mac) offered such a long period of support with active updates, without requiring the user to switch to a higher version of OS.
I hope you activated your Windows 10 license during the time Microsoft offered free upgrades to Windows 8 and 7 users.

Have a nice day!
