It works. Really.

But we'll have to see what happens with the next WU updates. I'm on 22000.348 today, but there's a new one coming down the pipe next month.

I'm on the DEV Channel. Build 22504 I think.

Wonder how long it will be before Microsoft blocks this one as well. "You will use Edge ...... resistance is futile"

That reminds me of the Internet Explorer 6 era!

For me I never search the internet via the start menu search so this isn't an issue. But.,.. YMMV

Basically, I only use it as a shortcut to installed apps and programs.

My Start searches open in Catsxp browser automatically! No additives no preservatives!

It worked, Jeff. I searched for TenForums and got there using my default browser Firefox. I didn't get the green line they said I should, but when I closed Terminal and searched, Firefox was used.

Of course, I'll probably have to do it again and again every time Windows 11 DEV is updated.

It must completely disable the Edge browser. After I ran the script Edge would no longer open. I ran it again to remove the change.

That's fine for me! I don't use Edge at all.

I just checked, and Edge buts in and takes over when I search from the start menu. Crap! I need to do that in Windows 10 too.

Here is a link I found if you really don't want edge at all

Microsoft Edge faces backlash over new shopping feature/bloatware

Microsoft Edge, apart from its features and performance, is known for its modern user interface that matches the look of Windows 10 and Windows 11. With minimal bloatware, Microsoft Edge has been fast and user friendly. However, the company has been slowly adding unnecessary shopping features to...

Yes it does. Unless you remove it, like I did.

I can't find an old screenshot of the Windows Apps section of the free REVO.

Here we go... {11-16-2021)

Brb Imma get on Win 11

Ok... now it gets weird.

Aug 8 2020, (Win 10), I was trying to get rid of EDGE the 1st time (it broke Windows updates that time).
I managed to remove Edge, but during the removal, it put the Edge entry in Windows Apps in REVO free.
REVO free screenshots from before then, don't show Edge in the free REVO.

Then, even though I put EDGE back, I still had that EDGE entry in REVO free.

Then, comes Windows 11. I did an In-Place upgrade from Win 10 to Win 11. So...
...after the In-Place Upgrade, that Edge entry was still in REVO.

THEN, yesterday I removed Edge again ( on Win 10 and Win 11). This time it removed the EDGE entry from REVO.

Problems with Edge

Is anyone having issues with Edge ? All of a sudden it`s not opening the 3 webpages I have it set to open, even though they are still listed properly in Settings. And when I uncheck Get all Notifications on the main page, and close the window and reopen it again, the Get all Notifications is...

www.elevenforum.com

So... @The-Hive, may be right, that on normal Windows 10 or 11 install... Edge doesn't show in REVO free.
I have no way to tell anymore.

Anyone with REVO free... (and who never tried to remove EDGE before)... could check.

That EDGE showing in the top REVO pic... is the OLD Edge, and it didn't appear there until I tried to remove the new EDGE Chromium. Back on August 8, 2020.

I may have had it there too. But I removed EDGE on Win 10 and on Win 11 yesterday via command line.

I'm gonna restore Win 11 for a Nov 22 backup and see what's what. It should take me about 3-4 minutes.

Ghot · Dec 1, 2021

Ok, here's what free REVO showed BEFORE I removed EDGE, yesterday....

So, the EDGE under Windows Apps, must be the bones of the old EDGE, from before EDGE Chromium.

Yup! That's the beotch that shows up when you hide the real one! :steam:

(Feck sakes, MS is weird!!!)

i can vouch on a clean install, if you use revo instead of cmd, and let it find all leftovers, it will remove it. i run only edge dev on my main build and removed edge stable via revou portable...
