Windows 10: I need to uninstall Micosoft Edge but I can't.

I need to uninstall Microsoft Edge but I can't. I keep getting a message that "all windows must be closed before...". There are NO windows open, much less anything running Edge. I turned off the computer, turned it back on.. still same message. I need to remove this but it's hanging on like a bad cold. Can anyone direct me to the process of deleting this program? Thanks!!

:)

 

Micosoft Edge

Thank you for your reply below. That did not do the trick either. My hunch is that I may have to uninstall Windows 10 and then re=install again. Is that possible? I had a tech support work on my computer last week and ever since the windows 10 system is
not working properly. It was fine before.

Hi Jochen,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in resolving the issue.

This issue might be due to corrupted or missing System files.

As you have already cleared cache and cookies, I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check.

Method 1: Run the SFC.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  After the scan, restart the computer.
  
• 
  Now check for the issue.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
