  1. PSA: KB5003173 installation fails if Chromium Edge has been removed


    I thought I'd mention this as I see others here have uninstalled Chromium Edge. The latest Windows 10 cumulative update KB5003173 will fail to install if you've previously removed Chromium Edge. You'll need to reinstall Edge from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge (scroll down to the Using Windows Server? link on that page to download the installer). I guess unfortunately uninstalling Edge isn't really viable if it's going to break updates like this, but you can possibly still use the group policy files from here to prevent background updates, and EdgeDeflector still works with Chromium Edge to force Edge-specific links to open in your default browser.

  2. Edge Chromium

    Hi All,

    * We have installed edge chromium 84.0.522.63 offline installer and it has upgraded the inbuilt microsoft edge.

    * Current edge chromium 84.0.522.63 got upgraded automatically after an update edg chromium 86.0.622.38 has got installed from windows update.

    *But this time once the update got installed, it has created duplicate edge chromium shortcut on the task bar.





    *we have unpinned the second one manually but after restart it has come back again.



    *One thing we noticed it that, when we launch the edge (edge chromium) browser, the duplicate edge chromium shortcut on the task bar is getting removed by itself..





    *but once the device is restarted, we can see the edge chromium duplicate shortcut is back.

    we can see inconsistent behaviors here with the edge chromium.

    *Please check and help about how to get this duplicate task bar edge chromium shortcut removed permanently.
