If you&#8217;d rather not have Edge on your computer, you can uninstall it. However, Microsoft doesn&#8217;t make it easy. According to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/how-to-uninstall-edge-chromium-when-windows-10-wont-let-1844297854\">LifeHacker<\/a><\/strong>, &#8220;you can uninstall it from Windows 10 with some simple PowerShell wizardry.&#8221; They show you two ways to uninstall Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Windows 10 will not break or mess up if you uninstall Edge, so no worries about that. It&#8217;s mostly just a hassle, so if it doesn&#8217;t bother you to have the browser on your computer, just leave it be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are needing help with Microsoft issues, please give us a call at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:1-800-620-5285\">1-800-620-5285<\/a>. \u00a0Karls Technology is a nationwide computer service company with offices in many\u00a0major cities. \u00a0This blog post is brought to you from our staff at\u00a0the\u00a0Plano Computer Repair Service.
