How To Reinstall Microsoft Edge In Windows 10

Step 1: Show hidden files and folders marked as hidden (see this tutorial).

Step 2: Go to the following path:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\

Delete the following folder: Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Please note that deleting this folder may take some time. All files in this folder will be deleted, except for 2 or 3 files, but nothing too bad. You may also be asked for administrator privileges. It doesn’t matter. Press OK, then select Ignore for the remaining files and click OK again.
 

 

 
Step 3: Restart your computer.

Step 4: Microsoft Edge is no longer part of your system. To reinstall it, you will need to run a simple command in the PowerShell admin prompt.

To launch the PowerShell in admin mode, type PowerShell in Windows search. Then right-click on it and click on Run as administrator.
 

 

 
Step 5: Once PowerShell is open, access your user account directory by running the following command:

cd C:\users\yourusername

Replace “yourusername” with your real username.
 
Step 6: Copy and paste the following command into PowerShell, then press Enter:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}

Wait a few minutes while Microsoft Edge is installed. Once the message Operation completed appears on your screen, you can close the PowerShell window.
 
Step 7: Restart your computer again to complete the process and Microsoft Edge will be installed on your computer again.
