the new edge removal script doesn't work with win10 32bit. the message it gives is in the screenshot.

Does it only give the errors or does the functionality of the removal itself not work?

bc while quickly looking at the image the only issues I found are registry keys that should be removed, but do not exist. So "technically" no "real" issues when thinking about the functionality of removing edge.

I did not code the removal itself, mentioning @psyirius to make him aware of the issue.

edge is still there and working, nothing happened. it says "wow64" in the message. i think it's about 64bit version. so it cannot find the 32bit edge, so doesn't do anything. not sure btw

psyirius commented 3 weeks ago

Hmm... I think the reg keys used to lookup edge is focused on x64 alone.

I'll take a peek and update!

Version: 24.08.16, x64

I don't know if this is related, but removing Edge doesn't seem to work?

Under Tweaks I have Remove OneDrive and Remove Microsoft Edge checked, I click "Run Tweaks" and it says it ran both, but Edge is still installed? I reboot and go to Tweaks , click Get Installed and those two options are unchecked but everything else I've changed are checked... so I'm unsure where I'm going wrong? Granted if I check both, and click Run Tweaks it just seems like it runs the Edge tweak (no errors) but the OneDrive tweak says OneDrive wasn't found so I assume it's "working" per se but Edge is still installed.

Adding to this (i believe my issue is related)

I'm also unable to uninstall edge on Win11 Pro 23H2 64bit, i get the following: image that is after trying to run Uninstall Edge from the Install Tab, then trying to run Debloat Edge and Remove Microsoft Edge

end result: edge is still installed on my system

alturic commented 3 weeks ago

Interesting, unless all of that output is only shown/ran once I don’t believe I ever seen any of that.

I did read the “uninstall” has to be done via the Tweaks tab and not the uninstall tab like you would assume.

I tried out every script I can find on the internet but this software somehow manages to stick itself to the operating system again again...

Can confirm I'm getting the same issue on Win11 Pro 23H2 64bit

Same issue here on Win11 Pro 23H2 build: 22631.4037

Looks like this won't be fixed!

Check: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/pull/2586

I'm not exactly "good" with Github, but it looks like that is specific to x86, which I didn't even know there was working (joke but still) x86 hardware in the wild, especially Win10 installs.

Still looking for info on whether this can get fixed for Win11, and on x64.

I think Chris said they fixed it in the dev branch for x64 in his last stream
