    Reasons Why You Cannot Delete Microsoft Edge from Windows

    Despite the deadline for complying with the Digital Markets Act in March 2024, efforts to eradicate Microsoft Edge from Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems have been unsuccessful as of April 2024. Even with the most recent updates, the ability to remove Microsoft Edge remains inaccessible.

    Microsoft has indicated that users in the European Economic Area (EEA) should possess the option to uninstall Microsoft Edge. Nevertheless, users in regions such as Germany have faced challenges where the uninstall feature is not accessible, despite ensuring the installation of all Windows updates.

    Initially, Microsoft had stated that modifications enabling Edge removal for EEA users would be integrated by early April. Despite this, certain users are still encountering issues with the uninstall feature, potentially stemming from an incomplete deployment or restrictions on the server side.

    While Microsoft has recognized the issue, a definitive solution has not been provided yet. In the meantime, users may be able to leverage specific PowerShell commands to eliminate Microsoft Edge if they are determined to proceed with the removal.

    Microsoft has reassured users that Edge can be uninstalled just like any other standard application on the system, indicating that the option for uninstallation should indeed be operable.
