Microsoft Edge is a "trusted" UI App and a core part of the Windows 10 Operating System it can't be removed by conventional means, just like Internet Explorer could not be removed from previous versions of Windows by conventional means. In my case I just ran the above steps again, and Edge is once again disabled. Repeat all above steps for file MicrosoftEdgeCP alsoīeen running Windows 10 Pro like this on 100+ PCs for several months without issues.Ī NOTE REGARDING WINDOWS ANNIVERSARY UPDATE: The Anniversary update appears to undo the above changes and re-enable Edge.Rename MicrosoftEdge file to MicrosoftEdge_remove or a name of your choice.Then Click Edit, then add your username and give full permissions.Right click on MicrosoftEdge file then Properties / Security / Advanced / Click Change (next to owner) and change to your username, then click OK.Open folder Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe.Although parts of this answer were given, not all of it was given together in a step by step manner.

UPDATE: In January 2017 I disabled Edge on a new Windows 10 install by simply renaming the "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" folder. Keep in mind that Microsoft may try to re-enable Edge during a future update. (I normally just append some text to it like "_remove" so I can easily re-enable Edge in the future if I desire.) Now, open File Explorer and find the folder "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" and rename that folder to anything you wish.
If you find it in the list, right click on it and select "End task".
Hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys and tap the delete key, then click on Task Manager.UPDATE AUGUST 2018: Microsoft keeps changing things a bit, but you can still "Disable" the Edge browser by doing the following:
