You used to be able to run both Edge Legacy and Edge Chromium by enabling the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\: Allowsxs (DWORD) set to 1 After the April 2021 update (19041.928), Edge Legacy was forcibly removed. Someone figured out that if you copied the contents of the Edge Legacy application folder from either a backup of the March 2021 update (19041.867) or from a March 2021 ISO, you could run Edge Legacy again: https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/mshig6/restoring_edge_legacy_after_april_2021_update/ Somewhere between April 2021 and December 2021, that no longer worked. Edge Legacy exits immediately after launching it. Here's where I'm at: I'm on Windows 10 Pro x64 2004. I was on version 19041.630 (November 2020 update). I went to version 19041.1415 (December 2021 update). Obviously, I lost Edge Legacy. I uninstalled Edge Chromium: Command prompt at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\83.0.478.64\Installer\ Run: setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --force-uninstall I added the regisry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\: Allowsxs (DWORD) set to 1 I copied the Edge Legacy program files back from the final published version from Microsoft (March 2021 update): Delete: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient_8wekyb3d8bbwe March 2021 ISO: https://isofiles.bd581e55.workers.d...vd_2d7423d8.iso Open .iso in WinRAR, extract: sources\install.wim Open install.wim in 7zip, extract: 1\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe 1\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient_8wekyb3d8bbwe Copy the above two folders to: C:\Windows\SystemApps\ I reset the packages (restores default settings): Delete: C:\Users\[USERID]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe C:\Users\[USERID]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient_8wekyb3d8bbwe Run PowerShell commands: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose} Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose} That's all I can think to do. Edge Legacy does not run, it exits immediately after launching. Here's an x64dbg log: https://pastebin.com/R45sXGit Is there some way to run Edge Legacy on a more recent version of Windows (such as the one that I'm on - 19041.1415) that I might be missing, such as a command line parameter or switch, a registry key, or a local policy? Or is it simply not possible to run Edge Legacy on more recent versions of Windows 10 or 11?
