Edge deinstallieren

[Lothar36]

Guten Abend,

ist es sicher den Edge Browser zu deinstallieren? Ich las im Netz der Edge Browser wäre Systemrelevant und wenn man ihn entfernt könnte es Probleme Sonst wo mit Windows geben. True?

gerade mal den Edge mit folgendem Script de-installiert; keine Probleme festgestellt. Aber wer so etwas macht, sollte auch gefasst sein, wenn mal etwas nicht wie vorgesehen funktioniert. Also auf eigene Gefahr!!

Interessant. Aber ob oder was darunter leiden könnte weißt du dann vermutlich nicht. Thanks

Kann sein, dass irgendwelche Anwendungen/Apps, welche WebView2 benötigen, Probleme machen. Aber kann sein, dass sich das auch erledigt, da WebView2 über das nöchste kumulative Update nach C:\Windows\System32 installiert wird. Du musst es halt testen.

Das wird dir keiner sagen können. Möglicherweise setzt ein App- Entwickler den Edge oder WebView als gegeben voraus. Dann war‘s das. Um solche Programme würde ich allerdings sowieso einen Bogen machen. Andere bringen ihren eigenen webView mit.
