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. THE ANSWER BELOW THIS LINE IS THE OLDER ANSWER.Īs already stated, the other answers are no longer valid due to changes in Windows 10 - Microsoft has removed all supported methods for disabling Edge.

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". Scroll down the list and look for "Microsoft Edge". If it says "More details" at the bottom of the Task Manager window, click on it to show more details. Hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys and tap the delete key, then click on Task Manager.
