Deleting/Disabling Edge Update Service

SightUp · Saturday at 2:43 PM

Despite ending the task and deleting the files, it keeps opening upon restarting. Is there any way to prevent it from coming back?

This is part of a startup script I have to turn certain things off. It seems to keep Edge updating at bay. I also disabled the two scheduled tasks in the root of Task Scheduler, but they don't seem to enable themselves.

Powershell:

#Requires -RunAsAdministrator
Set-StrictMode -Version 'latest'

@('edgeupdate',
  'edgeupdatem',
  'MicrosoftEdgeElevationService'
) |
ForEach-Object {
    Set-Service -Name $_ -StartupType Disabled -PassThru | Stop-Service
}

P.S.: I'm not entirely sure these are okay to disable, but my machines work fine. I don't use Edge, so I don't care if it functions correctly.

\MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineUA{A1DE7797-4300-4293-A2ED-C9A1412BC27F} C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe

\MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineCore{90C8F135-E889-4A3C-A852-B66D9551AD4B}
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe

+
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\128.0.2739.79\Installer\setup.exe

The main thing is don't click “About Edge” (can't remember, but something like that) in Edge.

Sorry, what is this? What are you telling me to do?

you can disable 'edge' update in windows services. there are 2 to 3 service entries for Edge update there.

best of luck, Steve ..

I don't even have Edge on my PC. I used Chris Titus' script to uninstall it. Edge is a memory hog. I also disabled Defender completely (I use MBAM). Edge is annoying

Can I get links to a script that disables defender completely? And one at uninstalls edge?
