Once you have deleted the Edge package, open an elevated PowerShell prompt, type the following and hit Enter: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach Then right-click on the package and select Take ownership from the context menu. If you want to make things easy, use our Ultimate Windows Tweaker and add Take ownership, to your right-click context menu. If need be, Take ownership of the file and then delete it. Here under General tab > Attributes, uncheck the Read only check-box. If you cannot, right-click on it and select Properties. Here you will see the package Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe. Open the C:\Users \%username%\AppData \Local\Packages folder location in File Explorer. But the remove-appxpackage command will not work for Microsoft Edge, as it is a part of the Windows operating system.


You are all familiar with the procedure for manually uninstalling or reinstalling the Store apps. If you create a new User Account, your Edge will be available to you in a fresh state, for that User Account. Windows will reset your Edge browser settings, keeping your Favorites intact – but you may lose other Edge data.īONUS: If your Edge is crashing or freezing, switch to a Local Account from Microsoft Account, or vice versa and see if this resolves the issue. If this does not make any difference, you may select the Reset button. When you repair Edge, your data will remain safe. Now you may first select the Repair option if Edge is not working properly. Now click on the Advanced options link to open the following window.

Next, under the Apps and features section, search for Microsoft Edge. To do so, open the WinX Menu and click on Settings.

Windows 10 allows you to reset or repair the Edge browser with a click via Settings.
