Having Edge and Edge Update running in the background may take up a lot of resources, so disabling it is useful

If you do wanna remove Microsoft edge just use this https://gist.github.com/ave9858/c3451d9f452389ac7607c99d45edecc6 it will remove edge but keep webview stuff so nothing gets broken, and edge wont come back with updates either, also Microsoft Edge Update service might remain, this is normal as it is required for updating WebView2

@TommyCowley101

the all point is not removing edge since they removed the "remove edge tweak" since it was unstable

also that gist wont work unless your in the eu

@GabiNun erm i think you have made a mistake, what i posted works everywhere as well one i don't live in the eu and it works, but yea fair enough i have never had that gist be unstable even on canary versions and have been using it since 23h2 and onwards :)

Nice work @GabiNun

Before this tweak runs, How about forcing Edge to close? @ChrisTitusTech

Stop-Process -Name “msedge” -Force

cant be done with msedge.exe as it give this error.

PS C:\Users\teacakes> Stop-Process -Name “msedge.exe” -Force
Stop-Process: Cannot find a process with the name "msedge.exe". Verify the process name and call the cmdlet again.
