Uninstall tweaks #1

Hey! I love the tweaks that the registry entry provides. However, I need sign in and sync, how do I uninstall the tweaks to get that back? Thanks

Hello! If you want to delete tweaks completely, then just open regedit.exe, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge and delete all the keys you'll find. If you only need to enable account sync, then I suppose you can just delete key called SyncDisabled.

I'm so sorry I think I missed the notification for your reply. I did figure out the sync thing (spent a lot of time reading up on Edge policies haha)

The (and I will open a different issue if you want) only thing I have not figured out is to disable the "Download Edge: QR code that appears on the start screen and also the right click, "Create QR code for this page". Any ideas on if those are possible to disable?

I'm going to make commit disabling QR code generator and translation functionality as well. Regarding start screen, I believe you mean the default screen that you see on new tab page. If yes, then I'm using "Blank tab" extension to have new tab page completely empty. I'd make empty page as new tab page, but it's not possible via registry keys. I'd suggest you using different new tab page extension, if disabling QR code generator does not disable thing you describing.
