I haven't tested it, but refer to this German comment thread on Google Chrome. Now a new hurdle may arise right away: Just in case, where does one get an older Edge 109 version to install. Microsoft Edge version 109 will receive critical security fixes and bug fixes for known exploit flaws on these platforms until October 10, 2023. Microsoft Edge version 109 will be the last version supported on Windows Server 2012 and Windows 2012 R2. Microsoft has documented this in the Microsoft Edge supported Operating Systems support document. Specifically, the Edge 109 will receive security updates for these server versions. A blog reader pointed out in this German comment that the Edge for these server variants still receives support until October 2023. Problem, however, is Windows Server 2012 / R2, which is still in support by Microsoft until October 2023. Would not be so tragic for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1, as they have fallen out of support in January 2023. I had already touched on it in the blog – Edge version 109 is the last browser version that is still supported on Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 and the server variants. Edge 109: Support in Windows Server 2012/R2 Here someone claims that the uninstallation is still possible with tricks though. (setup.exe -uninstall -system-level -verbose-logging -force-uninstall) as of now without any function, see various threads on the Internet for example in the Deskmodder forum.Īt I found for example this comment from DK2000 about it. In this German comment, blog reader Ben points out the following:Īlready noticed? Edge has secretly disabled the uninstall function completely! It's understandable, but in the meantime it's no more possible. The days there was this comment in my German blog, asking: Maybe it would be time (if I have not overlooked it) to write here an uninstall option for Edge pure. MS Power User had published this article about it a few days ago.īy the way, if not yet known, Microsoft has published the Microsoft Edge Mobile – Policies support article at the end of 2022. But there are some other changes that have already been touched on in the blog, but I want to bring them up again.Īnd on the distant horizon is the "Phoenix" project, where Edge is supposed to get a modern design like Windows 11.

Administrators can control the availability of Drop via the EdgeEDropEnabled policy. And in the blog post Edge 1.41 with new policies and Azure AD Sync, I had pointed out that the new Edge in version 110 now offers a way to send files and notes across all logged-in mobile and desktop devices by means of the Drop feature. In the blog post Microsoft Edge gets Adobe Acrobat as PDF reader I had reported about plans to integrate the Adobe Reader rendering engine. Currently, Microsoft is rebuilding the functionality of the Edge browser.
